maybe it sounds strange, but what dr. bob says or does outside this forum (regarding porn or anything else) is of absolutely no concern to me. after all, i don't answer to anyone else here concerning my words or actions off the boards.
for all we know, these boards *could* be filled with folks who are racist, homophobic, misogynistic, nazis. they could also be accused at every turn (in their personal lives) to be double-talking, two faced, jerks. still, no one is going to be blocked for any of these things unless they are brought into this space.
our brief within this forum is to abide by one man's civility rulings while sharing our experience with others. it seems simple enough and i'm okay with it. i wouldn't choose to bandy about terms like fascism to describe it, either. in my mind, to do that kind of disrespects the experience of people who know all-too-well the meaning of that word in its fullness.
until i attain a state of perfection ;) i'd just like to read, learn, and share in a place of peace and respect. dr. bob spends time and money to provide such a place, so i don't find it odd that he retains the right to run it as he sees fit and to use our posts however he sees fit.
people don't smoke in my house: it's *my* rule. if they don't like it, they are free to go home. fortunately, no one has ever insisted upon repeatedly barging into my house, running around with a lit cigarette and calling me a fascist until i manage to usher them out again.
they do, of course, have the right to tell me that they don't *want* to smoke out on the porch because it's too hot or what have you. if that ever happened, i would say, point taken, thanks for sharing, sorry for your pain...now go *outside* if you want to smoke. oddly, i don't consider myself to be a fascist.
in my view, this is dr. bob's virtual house, after a fashion. his name is on the door, if you will. even if i don't agree with his every decision, it is my decision to come in or stay outside if i disagree with the house rules.
