Okay, here goes a few random thoughts on the various parts of this thread (a rare decently thoughtful thread for GFY, I might add).
First off, Gary put himself in an untenable position, and like all "political" offices, it isn't impropreity, just the appearance thereof that is enough to cost someone their position. For a board member and leader of ASACP to label legal porn as CP in any manner, even in passing, lowers the value of the organization for everyone. Gary's personal opinions of lightspeed and their models is totally Gary's issue. Gary has, IMHO, shown some very poor judgement in this matter.
As for Aly, well, she isn't in any way involved in this, ASACP rules forbid there from being more than one person per oganization, and AVN already is represented. Her stepping down only occured at the same meeting as a matter of record, not as a matter of Gary's situation.
Now, as for ASACP in general. It's a noble idea, with noble goals.
That being said, ASACP should have no position on anything outside of CP. The .XXX discussion has nothing to do with CP, and as such, the organization should have stayed out of it. I feel that there is some major money using the ASACP as a front to voice their personal opinions. .XXX has nothing to do with CP. ASACP, stay out of it.
ASACP should have one goal, one goal only, and that is to report and work to remove CP from the net. Everything else is political reaching and grandstanding, and it takes away from the basic and noble goal of the organization. If you want an organization to promote the adult industry in general, form one. Don't corrupt something that could be so good and so useful.
