To paraphrase the late Kurt Vonnegut ...
It now seems relatively certain that a few if not several of the
premium newsgroup providers, including EasyNews, have determined to
drop groups which someone has identified as purveyors of child
pornography. Strangely, they have left other groups, notorious for
just that offense, untouched.
Subscribers to those groups have, essentially, been foreclosed upon
and tossed on the street. Rest assured, those sacked will find
another residence and quite soon.
Meanwhile, Naughty-Boy Galleries remains committed to two tasks:
First, to provide Boylovers a venue in which to share their ideas,
their concerns and the objects of their love.
Second, to disavow and discourage, as the Galleries always had, any
presentation of media that can legally be defined as blatant
pornography.
Should EN or any of the other providers decide to move against
Naughty-Boy Galleries, Ltd in a manner similar to the now foreclosed
groups, Tedn'Alice and I (and perhaps others) will at least take some
satisfaction in knowing that we assisted in gutting a "troll
utb-group." The irony is palpable, is it not?
