I have a better idea, lets get back to forming a basic online industry postion statement aimed at addressing the current legal attacks on our industry.

No, however, if your business model is significantly different from most of the porn industry, you don't attempt to change the porn industry to match your standards and your practices because you feel somehow superior to the walmarts of porn.

The tail cannot wag the dog.

You didn't come to the table with a manifesto a chip on your shoulder. That means that you are likely able to understand and accept that not everyone wants to do things you way. That is something that is clearly needed to make this work out.

A manifesto that basically says "the porn industry is stupid" isn't going to help us out one iota.

That manifesto doesn't say "the porn industry is stupid". Where do you GET that? And fyi: I didn't submit it here as something that would help out --- YOU snagged it off my site and brought it into the discussion, NOT me.

How can you quote my manifesto (which is totally off-topic, by the way -- I do not see the relevence) but not understand it AT ALL? Where do I say anything about changing the entire industry to meet my standards? Where does it say that "the porn industry is stupid"? Where does it say that I'm superior to anyone? When did I say everyone should do everything my way? I didn't say any of those things, and nothing in it has anything to do with you.

If you read that and interpret it as a condemnation of the industry or that it proves I think I could do without the rest of the industry, you. are. the one. with. a chip. on. his shoulder. I am proud to be a pornographer and to be part of this industry. And YOU are the one bringing things into the discussion that are completely off topic.

If you want to continue to obsess on what you IMAGINE I am saying, why don't you call my phone sex line or join my site instead of wasting everyone's time trying to convince them that I said things I didn't and that I think things I don't? What other purpose do your posts have besides to try to engage me and to make it appear I am saying things I am not?

If you keep it up, I'm taking Jim's advice and just going to report your shit-stirring off-topic designed-to-put-people-on-the-defensive posts. Or maybe you should start your own thread called, "Twixie hurt my wittle feelings!"
