- Porn's a fun thing. So are cigarettes. So is chocolate. But all three
are addictive, and are best used in small doses. Well, cigarettes are literally addictive and seriously harmful, chocolate and porn are only figuratively addictive. And this rather rebuts your first point-- if you're going to enjoy porn or chocolate, you have to pace yourself and avoid overdosing.
- Slash, however mild, only works if you take it out of the context of
the series, cause it's not canon. I think there's been a couple of threads on the subject of the distortion of the programme lately which have proved this more or less conclusively. I'd say it would be more accurate for you to say "threads which I found very persuasive and well-argued." It's difficult to have a vigorous discussion about slash on this list, because the discussion must be curbed in view of the beliefs and sensibilities of some list members.
