Do you want Gonzo to post your real name?

Come get me. I'm easy to find. I'm listed "in the book."

Emp, you are not exactly in the "adult business". You are a manufacturer. If publishing your real name would hurt your relationship with your loved ones, put you at risk from the local bubba sheriff, put you in danger from stalking fans, or perhaps more to the point, cost you money because of other business interests, you would not be so quick to lose money or endanger any of the above relationships and/or people. JFK tried that shit out on me once at a GFY party, and I am sorry it just doesn't fly. Pseudonyms have been used by everyone from writers to actors. The Nom de plume is a time honoured tradition. This has a lot to do with safety and business and nothing to do with morals or pride. In your line of work, none of this is a threat to you unless perhaps you are putting your bare ass and dick in front of the camera and we don't know about it. In which case, see above.

I have tried to ignore your posts, but you clearly have no intention of acting civilly.
So, I'm forced to respond to your errors, and assaults on my character.
First of all, you are completely ignorant to our situation. (No surprise there...you have always acted this way with everyone.)

For the record, I have absolutely NO Problem with people using fake names if they feel they must. But then they should not be surprises when the public at large views them with suspicion. They should also not get excited when they are "found out," or whatever it is anyone else here is hollering about.

As far as risk, in point of fact, I am at a higher risk EVERY DAY than most of your actors, and actresses that, as you put it "putting your bare ass and dick in front of the camera," in a very important point. I can lose EVERYTHING, and be jailed on a whim.
While they are "performing art" and what can be successfully argued as "free expression," (and in my opinion, is,) I have no such protection.

I am manufacturing a product, with real taxable employees, in a real taxable building, with a real fixed location that every local legislator with an agenda can find. I can't hide behind services and anonimizer scripts. If someone claims our machine sucked their balls off, I go sit in court for product liability.

And, after all that, at any time, aforementioned legislator can go for asset forfeiture, (Including our shiny new factory) various infractions that were intended to stop organized crime, (Which they have somehow managed to apply to my peers in the adult business, ) As WELL AS ALL the other "personal reputation" attacks you have suggested.

You think the public sees me as different than the actors and actresses? You bet they do...we are "WORSE," because we are "promoting" this behavior, and supposedly somehow talking people into it. I HAVE had my business relationships destroyed by taking my stance. I have had subcontractors refuse to work for us because of what we do. I REGULARLY have trouble with "Bubba sheriff" as you put it. I HAVE spent 2 years fighting my local government that didn't have a law to stop adult companies from building in "their town," but do now. EVERY way they could slow down our construction has been tried. Resulting in Thousands in legal fees, and delays.

So you are simply wrong.
You should think before opening your yap. And as someone who has never shown any connection to the adult industry, or, actually, to any real person alive, your opinion doesn't even rate the saying "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one."
As far as I know, you aren't a real person, with an asshole. You're just the hole.
Get a life. Either stand up and be a person, Prepared to defend your position publicly, or just slink around, like you do, and keep quiet. I'd actually prefer that, as I've never heard you make ANY valuable contribution.

In case you hadn't noticed, most of the legal battles have been won are fought by the people that DON'T hide. Then the rest of the industry piggybacks on the decision. My heart goes out to the guy that made the stand, and fought the good fight, not the person hiding behind the decision through 15 levels of dead end secrecy.

All my "loved ones" know exactly what I do, and support it. If you have "loved ones," that don't support you, then should they really be "loved ones?" Doesn't sound like "love" to me. Sounds like "conditional control."

If you can't handle all that goes with it, then maybe you shouldn't be doing it?
McDonald's is hiring. Burger King has a permanent sign screwed to the wall.

It's what makes the difference between "Amateurs," and "professionals."

Oh, and one more thing Jackass....I've been in the "adult business," since May 20, 1985, with my first adult video store.

And your point is? That is a lot of wasted verbiage for no real reason. I was acting in a civil manner with no real disrespect. You, in your usual apoplectic manner, once again flew off the handle. Dude, you really need to chill once in awhile. BTW, I am a real person with a real business and prolly made my first adult video while you were still jerking off to plastic bag magazines. Now fuck off and go eat your bacon and eggs and read the newspaper or something. Anything to bring down your blood pressure.

I never even heard of a mac address till yesterday. Still can't figure out what the fuck it is or if I should even care. Should I?

Don't like you, never have liked you, think you're a Jackass, and would prefer you simply did not exist in the world. You contribute nothing, have no value, and are really nothing more than a tiny stone in the road. You have no original ideas, never have anything positive to say, never contribute to the commerce of the world.
Don't care who you are, don't want to know about you, or anything you are doing. Would prefer you never come to my country, use the same airwaves as me, or breath the same air.
I would like to never have another interaction with you.....ever.

That clear enough?

But seriously Emp, how do you really feel about me? Sorry to say, I earn my living in your dollars. I take them out of your economy as you import my product. Sometimes I even cross the border and breath your air. I was even married to an American woman and would burn up your gas visiting the in laws. I have investments in your country, so I guess I own a piece of you as well. Fuck me, I must be your worst nightmare. Prolly worse than illegal mexicans stealing your jobs. Do you feel kinda threatened here in the final days of the American empire which the president you elected trashed in 5 short years? Your offshore thing apparently failed and now you are forced to manufacture in the US, but fear not, American labour is getting cheap. Now if you are nice to us we will sell you our gas and let you buy our water. BTW, I never see your product anywhere. Never have. So apart from all the bluster and bullshit you have been puking since the days of Amateur Masters when you got your ass handed to you on a plate, what exactly have you done? Emp you are a most amusing guy. A bit demented but amusing.
