It shouldn't be insulting to be disagreed with,
Halx. Don't forget - I'm the same guy who said just a few posts earlier that it's your sandbox - you get to make the rules. Of course I know you have a lot more invested in this site than anyone. But I also know you've always wanted TFP to be the kind of site where no one should feel intimidated to voice their opinion, or feel that their opinion doesn't matter, as long as it's presented in a responsible manner. I'm hoping that would include a modicum of sarcasm.
As far as the porn goes - I'm in camp with all the others who say it's too ubiquitous these days to worry about losing
one source of it. To me it's more of a "denying your roots" kind of issue. Just my opinion; no insult was intended. At least give me a point or two for giving
my own opinion - even if it means going against the grain of the majority of the posts. If you had titled this thread, "I''ve decided to
not kill the porn," we both know you'd still have pages and pages of comments patting you on the back for making the right decision - some of them by the same people agreeing with your actual decision. And that's okay - there are valid points to be made for defending either side.
I think you've done a great job creating, guiding, and maintaining this site over the years, but it doesn't mean I'm going to agree with every decision you make. If you find that insulting, then you give my opinion far more bearing than it warrants.
