I just finish writing the following to a comment on the GFY Thread http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...9#post11757739. Do you think my below comment (in response to posting #161), is way off-base? To me the entire thread is really, really, really important and should be read by everyone; and, IMO, anyone wanting to keep American government out of our business needs to quickly contact ICANN and their senators and representives to strongly voice opposition to .xxx.

Here's what I said:"I fear the probability that some asshole AMERICAN legislators (who are pandering to the radical right-wing religious hypocrites who pressure him/her/them into yet another mis-directed "to protect the children" bill or law, and/or those who contribute campaign donations to that/those legislators) will propose legislation to fence-out all AMERICAN dot com adult sites and force us into .xxx by going after ISP, or 3d-party billing, etc and imposing fines and/or jail time if we don't shut down our adult dot com sites. American law can't force foreign websites to go to .xxx, so they will flourish, hurt the income of American Adult dot com companies/sites, and fill the void and demand for our content by providing access to much harsher content from the former USSR and some Eastern-European and Asian locations that will make it a nightmare for everyone, including parents. Add to that the loss of sales, taxes, and the increase in the balance of trade deficits, and AMERICA gets hosed:-(((.

This .xxx has got to be stopped; and, IMHO, any entity that previously supported .xxx needs to write ICANN and rescind their support NOW (and PUBLICLY?)!!!!!!!!!

Yes, this old fogey is upset by .xxx and the people behind it, those supporting it, and those not willing to now admit they made a mistake when they supported it in the past before all the real facts came out. I invite those of you who know the present supporters to "OUT" them, and I hope ALL of us will boycott any supporters of .xxx.

IMHO .xxx is suicide for American adult sites.
