I realize that your stating your opinion but you should probably account for the audience your spewing crap to prior to doing so. I spend my time here not because it has a great "blog" community, I do so because this is the most professional, no bullshit group of people I've ran across in one place. If I were one of them, I'd be completely insulted with this simple statement alone.

Again, I'd have to completely disagree. Because an adult blog can and should pull traffic from non-traditional sources, it's not a net-zero game.

Then you must be shit canning a lot of adult blogs and a lot of adult blog directories because there are few blogs that aren't mostly sales pitch.

As strong as you may think adult marketing is, it is not stronger than the current blogging trend. In this case, your personal 'link list rules' don't really matter. Either jump on this fast train or jump away. Link list owners are not in the position to dictate to 150 million surfers per day.

Isn't this a contradiction seeing as earlier you stated that it was a net zero game.

Here is actually a good point...to bad you fucked it up. I agree, I'm not nearly as dependant on a link list as someone who builds free sites. But they do have something I want, that I can't ever seem to get enough of, and that's porn surfers. So as long as the rules FOR THEIR LINK LISTS aren't beyond what I consider to be resonable, I'll be more than happy to submit and provide a link back.
