shrugs about Hefner

Usually I can at least see someone else's point, even if I don't agree with it. In this case, though, I'm totally baffled about why people are offended that Christie Hefner is the opening speaker for ALA. Some of the comments I've heard are reductive (essentially, "porn objectifies women, so I don't want to have her there"). She has some credentials that ALA members should like, so I don't get the fuss.
