You do not like the novel. I get it. Actually, I got it the first time.
You state: "And you know as well a I do that this in particular IS a pertinent criticism of some posters on this board."
If you want to make that point, it is your prerogative. Personally, I see no need to extend a discussion of a novel published in 1957 to any current poster on this board unless the goal is simply to stir up a fight for no apparent reason.
I believe trying to have a rational discussion with you is most likely a fool's errand so I will end it with that.
