 How would you feel if thirteen year olds couldn't use the bookshop
 because it contained offensive material like the marquis de Sade,
 or Ian Bamks's the Wasp Factory full or torturing animals, burning
 sheep, and a young person whose castrated testicles are kept pickled
 in a jar of formaldehyde?   Clearly we must remove all books not
 suitable for infants from bookshops, to make them a safe environment.

 I agree we have to protect our bookshops and internets from being
 destroyed, through the intervention of loons like you.  [Going back
 to POSTING this on the relevant newsgroup, as it's really a matter
 of public debate rather than private conversation].
