How much more important then for us to be in a position to respond when we are attacked and to do what we can to limit our opponents to those who will always see porn as a target. Where did I suggest a vision of our customers rising up to support us? We are the only people who will protect our own interests and that is what we should be doing. Piling in at the last minute, if at all, the way we have dealt with every major issue to date, is definitely not a smart way to conduct ourselves.

no, I got your point completely...and I do agree to an extent
but if you all are on this ultimate search for respect and unity from the world outside of porn, then the first thing you are going to have to publicly seperate the good from the bad...and not just every average joe porn guy is going to be able to do that, it needs to be someone big, strong, wealthy and extremely famous before anyone will listen or care
steve lightspeed or steve hirsch can stand up and yell all they want, but who cares, they are smut peddlers
i think we all need protection, in a VERY SERIOUS way...but no one will ever join up, no one will ever take anything any one of these unifitcation groups does seriously, because in the end we are all out for only our own, and the bottom line is we are just smut peddlers
