    hyblaean

    If you bother to read the Salon article, the author does testify as to what he puts in his films and how they made her feel. I think it's worth slogging through, upsetting as it is.

    -- hyblaean

    I slogged through it, and, as I suspected, the "quote" is not in there.

    I'm not discussing that article or pornography or anything else with you. The only thing I am discussing with you is that you attributed a quote to someone and then used a source to prove the quote. The "source" you used was useless for obvious reasons: they put quotation marks around something someone else was supposed to have said, but there was no way that the reader could know if the quote was legit.

    Then you apparently thought that if you used Salon to make your case then that was going to matter one wit. It doesn't matter because the Salon article is beside the point because your claim about the "quote" is not in the article.
