Just one thing, don't get carried away... while I understand what you are saying and am disappointed you got so much stick for quite obviously caring deeply about something, I can also see the other side of the argument. I have offered support but do not agree with absolutely everything you've said, and at times I must say I've found myself agreeing wit ...[text shortened]... e forum can work to. Then people can make their own decisions about whether they come here.
Frankly, most of the people who came out in support of me, did so privately.
There is a lot of pressure on these forums to try to be cool!
I don't know where to drawthe line. I'm just trying to make people aware and I think I've done that.

As for being cool, it was never my scene. I was into Jethro Tull when Bros were big. Now that's uncool!
Originally posted by NordlysI remind people again that Russ asked posters to only post material they'd be happy for their mother to read. OK, that's not an exact science as we all have very different mothers but as a guideline I feel it's been ignored quite widely. Not that I'm personally bothered or offended but for what it's worth I don't think it's working as hoped.

Do you really think people have never thought about this before? It has been discussed many times, and you can't really avoid thinking about it.
Originally posted by asromacalcioBut accusing people of solicitation of minors for sex, and being child pornographers is something that's just fine to do around your mother?

You're a piece of crap to hide behind such paper thin righteousness while you judge and condemn others.
Just keep scrubbing the outside of the glass, asro. Don't look at the inside.

I'm sorry, the OUR, I guess refers to Serendipity and some of the others who were making the same point or supporting the issues I was raising.
I don't want to be too vocal in thanking people for support. I realize I'm not very popular with a relatively small group of very vocal individuals who dominate these forums and being associated with me will probably cause that vocal minority to turn their wrath on anyone who is so named.
But, I think that what you had to say was one of the most reasonable things anyone had offered.
