I agree and I guess my post started it. I'll take all the blame. I commented on the fact that I thought the hot threads had become a little too inane and simply asked if anyone agreed. The walmart comment was actually re…

If anything, I agree I should have posted this thread on chit chat even if I despise that forum, but I think your post was rude. No one was questioning your intelligence and they stated it wasn't criticism.

There was something definitely quaint about the sex scenes in Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence. Written in the early ?1920's it was written a little ahead of its time. Now if we're talking Diana Gibaldon, I would r…
