Florie, I wasn't picking on you, or accusing you of being a book burner.
I was using as a rhetorical example the indisputable fact that people
here often latch something as small as a phrase, or a "dirty" word, and
move from that to the excuse that a book (or some other artistic work)
should be banned or in some other way be excised.
I kind of thought that was clear, and of course I regret if I said
something that offended you.
Each year the American Library Association hosts a "Banned Books Week"
to point out how this still goes on. And both Vonnegut and Salinger
routinely land on those lists....
