  response to  bnfleming's post Help me, please

  one who disagrees

  I suppose the definition of GOOD is subjective - judging by my own standards for any magazine, this one is definitely good: the topics are dead-on relevant, the writing is genuinely interesting, and the tone is frank.
  Other worthwhile aims for society that I would deem as good: benevolence, charity, universal health care, cost-free higher education, reduction of pesticide use, improvement of highways...
  While I could continue with that list until tomorrow, I do not think 'ceasing to condone pornography' would be anywhere on my list.
  Moral character is defined by honesty and strength, and a desire to work with facts rather than sweep them under the rug. And despite the inflammatory nature of the facts about the pornography industry, there are truly frightening, significantly more pressing facts to shine the spotlight of outrage upon. If our society is to be a 'good' one, our priority should be unencumbered dialog rather than the eradication of our sex industry (where supply is only as large as demand).

  the good word

  There is no reason to be mortified - you just made a contribution to a good cause (whether you agree with this particular writer's take on internet pornography or not does not change the relative "good"ness of causes you have invested in!).
  I suppose the definition of GOOD is subjective - judging by my own standards for any magazine, this one is definitely good: the topics are dead-on relevant, the writing is genuinely interesting, and the tone is frank.
  That being said, I think it's great that you've spread the 'good' word. Perhaps it will spark some dialogue.
