Sure I agree there has to be a balance. It does seem a little short-sighted to want to exclude anyone that doesn't work full time in the Adult Industry. I mean, if you're marketing directly to consumers and not b2b, wouldn't you want to have at least SOME representation of your target demoraphic available as a resource? Sure, if someone's just here to cause shit period, get rid of them. However, I'd argue there are at least some examples of people that while not in the business, aren't hurting anyone being around.
Again Gideon is a good example. I've never really seen him post shit just to cause shit. The guy's obviously very passionate about what he believes and all his fair use and yada yada. Personally I don't agree with much or most of what he says, and I just skip reading it. Robbie on the other hand can't help but get his granny panties all tangled up in a bunch everytime the guy posts. Instead of realizing that Gideon's not actually trying to harm him and just accepting they disagree, he has to constantly try to change Gideon's mind. When that doesn't work it breaks down to bullying. Yes that's exactly what I said, bullying. Just read the way he responds, it sounds like a frustrated school yard bully trying to show just how bad he is. It's ridiculous but at least comical to read.
On the other hand, we have people like Fatfoo, who presumably are just dandy to keep because they do some penny-ante adult writing on the side. The fact that the user posts absolutely nothing but fucking nonsense and plenty of it doesn't enter the equation at all.
Seems to me like a ridiculous sytem but hey I've come to expect ridiculous shit from this "industry". Fortunately I guess for me I'm not afraid of Robbie and crew and can easily proove I'm "in the business". I guess they'll have to make up some new rules to get rid of the "haters" like me.
