Unless you are the Chapman brothers please do not burn books

Next time someone like Robin Ince says there's "no cancel culture" I would like to present Exhibit A below as a counter-argument....  An important thread on the thorny subject of whether or not burning Doctor Who books is inflammatory?  

Personally I think burning books is demonstrably inflammatory by definition... and, indeed, perhaps the  progenitor of this thread secretly thinks so too... since they have strangely gone into hiding... 

For the record burning a book is wrong because it is the destruction of a work of art.  Very few people can get away with destroying art without terminal opprobrium.  Possible exceptions include the Chapman brothers.  

Unless you are the Chapman brothers please do not burn books.  There are many more less offensive and tasteful forms of protest - such as burning somebody in effigy.
