Huguette Ampudia left a comment that included a link to a Philip Pullman response on my post: The Ethics and Eroticism of Non-Consensual Sex in Fiction and it was so good and apt, and the response is so final and eloquent, I thought I’d post it.

You’re right. It IS apt & I even went so far as to applaud along with Mr Pullman’s audience.
Brilliant. Of his I’ve only read the His Dark Materials trilogy, which I loved and not the least because of it’s irreverence and anti-Christian sentiment.
He sums up the premise and simplicity of free speech perfectly.
Thanks, RG. I may link to this on my facebook page.

I like this….He has an effect, does he not?
RG, an eminently sensible reply, he is so right!!!
I know exactly what he means by that sentence.
Warm hugs,
Paul.
Oh, would that I had – or could – say something like that, and that well. How true, how true!
Absolutely perfectly said! 😀
Great sharing this.
