Hm.

I find your analogy about the sports game and stripclub pretty useful. I think that's a very reasonable comparison.

I am interested in the notion that you object to provoking emotion on purpose objectionable. Does this apply to art in general? (On a similar note - do you go to movies or see plays? Do you go ever dim lights for romantic purposes?)

(The above sentence may sound like it's trying to set up a gotcha, but I am mostly just clarifying that you are someone who likes to explore and engage intellectually, but not emotionally)

but of course I don't like it when groups that I'm a member in have activities that I don't like. (Isn't that almost tautological?)

If a group is meeting regularly, doing things you like, does it make your world worse if they start meeting additional times, doing things that you don't like?
