Why would you think that I'm appalled by Paris means I think everyone else are 
moral idiots?

So your audience -- that is, the Magdalen pub -- contains moral idiots inferior

A good homiletic rule is "preach to the people in the pew, not out the back 
door."

Gnarliness does not equal superior wisdom.
