In Areivim Digest V6#12, RAS noted:
> http://www.israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=6817 <
...and the author quoted OC 307:16's "divrei cheisheq" towards his point.
That phrase seems to come from RAsh quoting HaR'R'Yonah.  Perhaps I'm
missing something, but the primary reason it's mentioned re the BT Shabbos
149 sugya in question is that many writings which have no Shabbos purpose
should not be read on Shabbos, a fortiori writings which may have no
weekday purpose and fall into the "moshav leitzim" category.  I don't see
"divrei cheisheq" questioned ad loc. as Shabbos (or weekday) reading
because of their sexual content, and the opening to read them seems to be
present if one can reasonably argue that they have some legitimate purpose
and no longer fall into the "moshav leitzim" category.  One might conclude
that this paragraph misses the forest while examining the tree, but I'm
just trying to understand whether HaR'R'Yonah (and, l'halachah, the SA) is
really saying what the author is inferring.  (As I'm way behind on my
Avodah-digest reading, please cc: me on any replies to the list.)  Thanks.

All the best from
