It's not SlimVirgin herself that I consider a net detriment, it's all
this effort to suppress discussion of her. If she herself is not
involved in that (and I'm led to believe that she's not) then I've got
no beef at all with her on this matter.

BTW, first there was a comparison to appeasing the Nazis, now we've got
a comparison to rape. This is a bit over the top, IMO.
