No, I never said he did. But read the later books. As the
series progresses, McGee certainly does question his own
lifestyle more and more. And even in his early books, there
are moments of, if not self-doubt, at least acknowledgement
that even pleasure has its price. note that even in the
passage Bill quoted, he does refer to himself as a
prude.
