Rather than making assumptions that I'm just making assumptions...

Seriously, I'm not casually throwing Paglia into the mix, just using the only benchmark I have to work from. This thread seems to be a mystery thread that only those "in the know" know about. People bashing each other back and forth. I never once said that I had seen the original thread. My first comment was essentially that the entire thread was out of place. The op, and initial responses, break so many of the so-called DU3 rules that I'm amazed it hasn't been taken down, or locked, or whatever we do to offending threads these days.

To say that I have flippant about the subject matter being discussed is in itself flippant. Of course violence and prostitution are serious issues. But this thread started out being a stupid remark about masturbation, and instead of educating anyone about what the hell was being discussed, it just turned into personal attacks. Which are supposed to be verboten here, but apparently not in this thread.
