Well, I wouldn't ever flame a work of fiction for offensive material.
I simply assumed (apparently incorrectly) that others had and that
time had set a few standards.

It's my *personal* opinion that a reader can skip a story if he wishes.
It's also my opinion that my opinions have little to do with the creative
work of others (God, I'm going to be sick in a moment :-).

Thank you for the information.
