Whether my site is a hobby or a job, it has no bearing on the respect I deserve. It's not illegal. I don't degrade myself on it (quite the opposite, actually). I do it because I enjoy it. If I didn't want to do it, I simply wouldn't. End of story. I demand just as respect knowing I run my site as I would if I didn't.
Does a garbage man deserve any less respect than an accountant? No, at least not in my mind.
The day someone comes up to me and tells me I don't deserve respect because I've decided to pose nude is the day I get offended. That's just the way it is.
And it's NOT easy to offend me.

I'm an American in the South, and I agree with you.
