You still don't get it do you? I've already gone on record as stating that if the new or the old Administrator wants to take my stories down, he or she is welcome to do it. My complaint, and I will make it again, is that this cannot be done easily since the story codes don't leave a trail of breadcrumbs to make eliminating all the offending stories an easy process. There are nearly 4000 stories archieved on this SITE alone! So if the big bad wolf disguised as someone interested in the welfare of the nation's children, who in general are a rather curious and randy lot in case you didn't know, approaches this rather vulnerable SITE and finds an offending story, thanks to some dedicated government stooge or mole who has dug one up, guess what, school is out!

I'm first and foremost a writer, I scribble for my own enjoyment. I'm not in any way into the "life" or whatever you people call your personal thing. Child pornography, whatever that is, is a perfect foil for descendents of the Pilgrims, our born-again, evangelical, right wing warriors who think they have the truth and all shall be either converted or sent to prison. I've heard this nonsense from people like you for years about the written word and it still doesn't make any sense to me. Obscenity or child pornography or any other taboo that one can name all comes down to one simple test. It depends on what kind of a jury makes the decision and what type of background they have. If I'm Gonzalez, the one who validated the US right to torture prisoners, I'll make damn sure to get every case I prosecute tried in the Deep South, and avoid like the plague any large city such as New York, Boston, and LA for obvious reasons.

I think if people would wake up and realize what is happening to this country, the witch hunts would end rather quickly. However their oxen have yet to be gored and when they are, it may be too late for everyone. Here's a little fact for you to chew on. During 8 years of the Clinton administration the governement prosecuted perhaps five obsenity cases, having better things to do with their limited resources. During the first 4 years of the current administration, they were even more disinterested based on government efforts in this area. Now that the Texas crowd have their tit in a wringer, so to speak, it's time to mount a crusade against "immorality" to keep their "base", and you can define that word in more than one way, from deserting the leader, a born-again, former drug user, who has seen the light. What utter crap!

I am now stepping down from my soap box and taking leave of the field of literary combat since I've got much better things to do with my time than arguing with folks who have a great deal of trouble understanding the English language. Here's something for all of you active participants to mull over when you're not doing whatever you're not supposed to be doing. The ratio of lurkers to active participants is better than fifty to one based on reviewers, postings in the forums and other information. Did you ever stop to wonder what they think and enjoy? During the past six months I ran a little experiment to see what brings them out of the woodwork. Believe you me, it ain't pretty, but that's the real audience for this SITE. When they go away and they will, you people can have a grand time talking to each other by phone, if you dare. Remember the Patriot's Act the next time you make that call.
