The fact that porn is illegal in Russia is the burden of the Russian people, not me. I could not care less. As we say here, it's no skin off my ass. The policy of open and honest WHOIS has nothing to do with them. It's not a policy based on screwing Russian submitters. It's about business. It's about honesty. It's about tracking down and banning those who screw you or your surfers. If this policy blocks a few submitters from submitting, so be it. I have submitters crawling out of my ass.

George Carlin -Rights and Privileges

There really is no such thing as freedom of speech. There are no universal rights. You can only have what you are willing to fight for. We Americans lose "rights" every time George W gets a hair up his ass. So they musn't be "rights" after all, or else we couldn't lose them. It's pretty obvious that we, as a people, are unwilling to fight for them. So it's not callousness that allows me to say that I don't care about porn in Russia. I just don't care.
