Perhaps you mean 15a? Searching for "MRG" on mechon-mamre.org turned
up 13a, 14b, 15a, (skipping margolis in 24a), and only 15a mentions LH.

It's not clear that LH applies to all objects, or is just about EY in
particular. Unless you're talking about a different mesechta. But 15a
doesn't draw a conclusion about objects in general, it says al achas
kamah vakamah LH about a person is worse.


Tir'u baTov!
