An archived conversation that took place on Salon Magazine's Table Talk forum, September 1997, between Kent Pitman and others (including author Sherman Alexie) entitled “She boiled squirrel nutkin, he diddled girls -- does it spoil the message?” The basic question being whether the reader of literary works should make a decision about what to read or not based on the moral character of the author.
(This dovetails, by the way, with my position on the “Freedom to hear”.)
- Slashdot

The term "second wind" is a bit of a misnomer there. I didn't decide suddenly to answer a bunch more questions; I offered one long reply which exceeded some fixed length boundary of the forum's web tools. So they had to run it in two parts.
