really good post. in fact, i am very impressed at the amount of time and thought that all the posters are putting in. There aren't the .XXX SUCKS kind of posts... the rational, logical type of responses needed to show there is an understanding and need to protect children from bad stuff, but there are better ways to do it than .XXX.
One thing i would like to point out to the poster is that the US Government was one of the reasons why .XXX proposal got shutdown last year. The Bush administration doesn't want .XXX actually, and neither do groups like Family Research Counsel (FRC).
Last round, there were 600+ posts from adult webmasters, but there were over 30,000 emails from the religious/conservatives against .XXX in addition to US Government letter that gave their thumbs down view.
It was ironic then that the non-adult participants in this issue helped to get the overall thumbs down vote at ICANN.
But, this time around, it may have gone past the demonstration of adult community position on the matter to more technical issues of the contract.
But, that doesn't stop webmasters from taking the public stand.
As one poster said, anyone who posts on GFY should be writig their opposition letter and taking a stand.
.XXX will end up being a yearly porn tax for the industry if it gets approved, and becomes a cost of doing business at $60/domain.
Fight the bell ringing!
