I think, if it were my work being commented on this way, at one of the most pivotal and emotional moments in the work, it might bother me a little.
The characters are going through emotional hell right now, and a lot of the commentary seems to come to down people calling for more group sex and random massive destruction.
Now I see where your name comes from. (Joking, joking, calm down...).
This place is full of pervs and wackos who will turn anything into an excuse to call for more sex and violence - myself being one of them at times. But there's also people commenting on the quality of the artwork, the great expressions on the characters faces' - i.e. how powerfully well this story is being presented - and still others engaged in the constant running literary analysis and speculation. Even the "pervs and wackos" do some of that deep stuff too, and I'm sure even those who don't express it feel it to some extent, otherwise they wouldn't still be reading. There's not enough sex and violence in ES to keep people just interested in those things around (unless, I suppose, they're really desperate and don't know how to work the interweb very well), so you can assume that anyone here appreciates qualities other than those in Poe's work.
That's what this place is. Pervs and wackos admiring beautiful artwork and an intricate and emotional story, and analyzing the whole thing, while at the same time making jokes about cock and boobies and cracks about "anal-izing the hole-thing". (Sorry, I couldn't resist). It's great.
