why do you think they keep going to conferences? To try and convince us to buy .xxx domains? Wrong! They go to conferences because they want to be able to pretend and trick politicians into believing that they are not only part of this industry but also represent it.

We need to keep fighting them. Keep posting "fuck dotxxx" in every ICM/.xxx related thread. Keep posting comments on news articles. Keep telling the truth. Keep exposing the fact that the ICM does not represent us. Keep exposing the fact that the ICM has lied to us on several occasions. Continue to shun people who do business with the ICM.

We need to keep ignoring those defeatist comments that this industry is lost and can't organize. We don't need to "organize" at all. What we need and what we have is personal initiative. We have shown that thousands of adult webmasters can take the initiative to open their email client and email ICANN. We have shown that hundreds of webmasters can take the initiative to tweet like hell against the .xxx tld. We have shown that webmasters will take the initiative to flame any GFY user who thinks it might be a good idea to accept money from the ICM.

And we need to keep in mind that they (hte ICM) are one of our enemies. And you don't work with your enemies. You fight them. you don't offer advice on how they might be able to improve their product. You fight them.

If someone wants to rape you in the ass, you don't tell him "please use some lube so the whole experience will be less painful". Instead, you take a machete and defend yourself!
