So I think that we'll have to agree that we each see the underlying premise of the story (Doyle's submission to Bodie) as something you see as negative and I don't.
Sorry, but I don't see this discussion as being about you or me! I'm trying to think about and discuss certain points which have been made by several people and which came up in the story. I hope you don't feel offended because I don't share the same views as you or that I was interested enough to ask questions about the story? I'm just trying to take part in the discussion, that's all, and to show interest in your choice! And I don't feel that I was that negative or disapproving of the S&M aspects, merely puzzled that people would want to spend their time on that kind of activity and I've stressed more than once that it's probably my problem! I thought I'd been pretty fair and openminded about the whole thing.
