Just like most here, I'm not thrilled with the outcome, but he is the first person in years that brought major changes to this industry. We'll all get fucked because of it, he will become filthy rich because of it. But don't hate the playa, hate the game... it's just capitalism at work? Nothing stopping any of us from launching .sex or .adult?
I'm not trying to sound like I'm supporting him, I'm not, but where is all the hate coming from? is there more to the story?

its a threat that could impact all of us, like tubes, those guys are out to make a buck too but they threaten the money i make, so why would i like them?
he is exploiting children by using them as a pawns in getting .xxx through.
the idea that many will feel forced to purchase these domains to protect their existing sites at a rip off rate of 10 times that of a regular domain..if you're lucky enough to get it for reg fee because if you have a well established site, there will people going after the .xxx version. even if you have the .com it looks like you will have to fight for it among people who own other tld's.
the possiblity that xxx will be used to put adult in an 'red light ghetto' that will effectively put many people out of business.
