Oh, good grief, I wish I'd caught this while I still could delete my prior comment. You opened with > The incest doesn't excuse the torture. But that is not what I said. I said, in the comment of mine to which you first replied, that people excuse the torture, but not the incest, just as you have done. I still can't figure out what you meant by "equally upsetting," but the basic issue is that we're talking past each other because you failed to apprehend my thesis and I was too busy to notice and call you on it right away. I hope this clears things up!
