Al mee ne'emar

At the same time I find the way [--] present it...the bluntness, the 'shall we keep or throw it out' quality disturbing and sort of vulgar. One doesn't talk this way normally and rightly so. If I can offer an exaggerated analogy...the way you deconstruct Torah is to theology and Jewish philosophy as pornography is to sex. The lighting is harsh, you see more than you want, and eventually it becomes boring except for those addicted to the fetish. If you can bathe it in a softer light it would be more appealing.

Three guesses. First two don't count.
