*I* as the moderator, who has the first 20 minutes to ask questions, am not going to ask bullshit questions that aren't relevant to the scope of the panel. Xbiz has never censored any questions, and when I open up to Q&A of the audience, ANYONE can ask ANY question they wish. Are we clear on this point now?

No, we are not. As a moderator and given the fact that YOU have the first 20 minutes to deliver some incredibly hard hitting answers, then along with that job should come the responsibility of asking the most difficult questions and not the simple ones that the webmasters can ask when you are done. If you can't do that, and you feel that any question you do not agree with is not relevant, with all due respect, maybe you should pass the job off to someone with a set of balls who can see this for what it is.
While I'm sure you will do a great job, and I am not attacking you, I am saying that with this gig I feel you took on a certain amount of responsibility and by doing so, you now speak for all of us. And if you are going to speak for all of us, for that first 20 minutes, then ALL respectful questions are relevant to this panel.

They aren't asking the adult biz for any permissions. They are there to explain what they are going to do, because quite frankly, we don't know what they intend to do because it has been vague.

Well they should. They intend to ass rape us, one .XXX domain at a time. This is about greed, nothing else. And yes, I know what I am buying, it will be a series of steps, one at a time, closer to the demise of this industry.

So don't you want to know what that policy will be?

I will wait for the press release on that one. No need to waste hot air on an answer they will dodge or not have a true answer for. I mean, it doesn't matter what I think either way right?

Seems to be the FSC is in the place for that.. see point #3 about supporting FSC

You mean like how they are protecting producers from inspections, while the FBI inspects them anyway? ;-)

Of course .XXX is going to be used for filtering. No different than blacklists from Netnanny to firewall/proxy boxes. If an adult doesn't want to see porn and certainly to restrict a child's viewing, that;s absolutely fine in my book, and whatever technology they use to do so, is their own right, much like your right to your livelihood. Porn sites are blocked today without a .XXX .XXX would have to be massively adopted internationally before it provides any kind of effective filtering.. since .XXX is voluntary, there is no motivatio to use .XXX other than to preserve your cyber real estate.

The only way to achieve this is to force us to give up our .com domains. Otherwise, everyone will still be able to view porn. How fucking dumb does a person have to be to not see this?

You posed some great questions, keep them coming... the fingerpointing is getting old.

No finger pointing, those are ALL legit questions.
In regards to Tom leaving the FSC, I don't know him or his true agenda. None of us do. Maybe he is a good man, maybe he is a bottom feeder, who knows? Just the same as I was fucked over by someone I thought was my friend (see sig), I do not trust anyone in this business anymore ESPECIALLY those who are trying to hurt the industry or spin the .XXX bullshit. And with all due respect, on some of your posts in this thread, you do sound like you're spinning it. Especially in regards to my first question that you refuse to accept as an important one, one that even a moderator should be asking. The mere fact that you say it, my question, is a bull shit questions and it is not relevant to the scope of the panel, throws a red flag and makes me question if you are the right person to be asking questions at all. And I say that based only on the fact that you think, what I feel (any many others feel) is one of the most important questions, and you dismiss it as not relevant and bullshit. Your response to that sums it all up nicely.
I don't know you and you have never bought me drinks, so I can't say you're a stand up guy.
But I have always read your posts and agree with most of what you have to say. With that said, you do sound a lot like you are spinning the issue in regards to .XXX.
I'm not here to argue with you, but I do feel that you need to consider what IS relevant to the people you are going to be speaking for. You do not stand to lose what we will lose.
Fight the first 20 minutes!
