And not getting my rant about that gosh-gee article about the C18th 'Sexual Revolution' in the Guardian today, because if I started, I might never stop.

Or I could just list 30 years of historians who have written about sexuality in the UK/Europe at that period; it is not exactly unexplored territory incognita.

But on the whole, I am classifying it under 'Does this deserve the tribute of rational refutation and the expenditure of my time and energy on so doing: No.'
