This whole argument is moot really and I don't know why you are so defensive. The only reason why I brought up the whole writer group thing (mind you, not even mentioning which writer's group it was) was to make a larger point about society's attitude towards sex. I could have used any example, but I chose this one. The post is not even about the value of erotica. I don't care about defending erotica all, it was just an illustration to make a larger, more valid point. Which you clearly missed in your zeal to defend your writers group and attack a genre you don't particularly care about.

If I may...
I was present when you came in, and specifically remember you being told you were welcome to join our group, only that erotic pieces would not be eligible for the queue. We have many authors in our community who don't submit to the queue. I also specifically remember you being told that you were, however, free to ask one of our editors if they'd have time and if they'd be willing to critique it for you anyway, outside of the queue process. But you have to actually be open to what people are trying to tell you, instead of feeling insulted by the fact that our rules are what they are.
Then again, maybe you'd left while that message was being typed out. I'm certain it was there, anyway.
I’m not so much defensive as I am irritated. But you’re right. It really isn’t an argument worth having.
