That is pretty bold of you to say something like that.
So I have Jay saying that not to worry and Scoreman trying to scare me into signing up to FSC.

That's not a bold statement, its just the truth and sometimes the truth is not comfortable. Think this through, if you had supported the FSC you would now be 100% free from prosecution on the new 2257 regs until this matter is settled. You have increased the chance you will be prosecuted.
The FSC may run out of funding or run short. I do not know the size of the war chest, but one thing for certain is defending a full blown case like this isnt cheap. I also don't know the size of your company and whether your membership would have been the money that could have secured a critical piece of work done in the litigation. One thing I do know is that the fewer dollars in the FSC war chest, the harder it becomes to win this fight. If the fight is lost you have dramatically increased the chances of you being prosecuted.
The rationale you give for bowing out when the call was made for support is that you didn't want your name on a list. The DOJ received a good sum of funding in Bush's first term to prosecute porn and all of those Government lawyers have been hard at work for YEARS now, investigating and compiling their short list of "Bad guys". The idea that they would put aside this list to prosecute Mr. Pink because he joined the FSC is absurd, unless you are already on their list.
