> Do you really think it's fair to compare a questionable UFO sighting

Fair enough. I chose my example poorly. My point still stands: personal anecdotes are a terrible way of understanding most anything.

> It's the same as when the marijuana legalization advocates say "it's basically medicine lol" or deny that addiction is possible

100% feel you here. Even as a user.

> There are a lot of bad things people consume and I support banning very few of those. Pornography is not one. Please don't mistake my position.

I appreciate your clarity here and I apologize for being a bit of jerk. So often it feels like people choose views purely on their own internal personal morality. Not a larger live-and-let-live attitude. Which kinda ties into the cannabis legalization thing above imo. The truth was fudged to make the moral argument easier - because that convinces people.

So, again, apologies for jumping down your throat and I appreciate the links.
