Not all "ignorant" people are dumb at all. I'm completely ignorant on how to build the cameras that I use. But I'm well educated on how to use them. Dumb would be someone unable to learn. Ignorant is just a condition of not having access or desire to learn certain subjects. Don't forget, we are on a porn board. No matter how much info any of us read or try to understand about what the crooks in Washington D.C. are doing...we are still essentially ignorant of how things really work. We can only make "educated guesses" So to make your statements as if they are fact and a starting point for the discussion is kinda...ignorant.

Robbie,
The thing I like most about this industry is the number of people working in it who have very diverse backgrounds and are extremely bright. MBAs, former medical professionals, concert hall symphony conductors, day traders, lawyers, restaurant owners, writers, television execs, magazine publishers, chefs... The list goes on and on. It's unlike any other industry, in that nobody went to school and studied to get a degree in how to sell porn online. So the industry is made entirely of people bringing vastly different skill sets to the game and finding creative ways to move forward. That makes the industry fun for me, I could make a profit in other industries and have done so, but the people weren't nearly as enjoyable to work or chat with in those fields. If I thought the people in the conversation here were somehow 'beneath me' I wouldn't waste my time replying or reading the replies of others. Sure there are some asshats, but overall the discussions on GFY and other porn boards have proven to be better, more interesting and more enlightening than online discussions anywhere else. You shouldn't be so defensive.. If I thought little of you I would say so or just ignore you entirely.
The fact that we are often replying to each other shows that we have mutual respect for each others viewpoints.. Otherwise why would we both be replying at all? I've learned a lot during my time in this industry, and a lot from my time in other industries before being in this one. I'm sure you have learned plenty as well... I take no offense at the fact that we disagree, and I believe you should not either ;)
