Bob, Bob, Bob.
Sabina's comments are right on the mark.This is not good. Literature is literature. Art is art. Quotes are quotes. AVLS's post was labeled as such.
I must protest this, just because it matters to me. AVLS matters, too, and needs this outlet. It seems a shame you cannot allow her that.
Sincerely,
Wendy
