Hi Connor,
I know a couple of people who is exactly like the person you are describing, including a couple of moronic politicians (Michelle Bachman comes to mind).
I've only met Joan a couple of times and she seems to be just the opposite of what you are describing. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that I don't see it. Do you have any examples of what she said or did to manipulate people or the adult industry towards .xxx?
Again I'm not trying to challenge you or anything like that. I'm only saying that my opinion of her as a person has been a good one so far.

She was always very nice to me and to the people at my company. She congratulated us when we won an Xbiz award and always had time to chat at each trade show I saw her at. Trust me I know people who have zero respect for adult - even from members of my own family - and I can see them a mile away.

Again, I really don't see it. She was good to us, and her good nature appeared 100% genuine, never asked for anything in return, and never hounded us to sponsor.
Is it possible that your opinion of Joan is wrong?
