Opinion of pornography

[Alcon]

I've looked over this thread, and there's plenty of dismissive, flippant behavior to go around (although I don't see any ad hominems offhand.)  Honestly, this thread would go a lot better if folks didn't latch onto their knee-jerk responses and go from there -- but if you want to do that, it's technically not against the rules.  If that's what you're going to do, enjoy the inevitable disappointment.

Gustaf came close to a weaksauce personal attack like twice ("surely you're not that stupid" especially) but that's not really why this thread sucks.  This thread  sucks because threads suck when multiple people involved are condescending, dismissive, and flip.  The standoffishness inevitably escalates and you get this crap.

(If you have a concern about moderating stuff, by all means, bring that up in the appropriate place, but my main concern is why this thread is so completely terrible, when it could be genuinely interesting.)
