Spazlabz,

Very good post. Thank you for proving that webmasters on Oprano can be open and express their views without attacking.

I don't want any confrontations with anyone on the upcoming radio show. If Gonzo had told me...YOU ARE NOT WELCOME, I would have accepted his decision. However, I and the other party have been hams for a very long time. Ham radio was a big part of my life for many years. Some of my ham friends work in the adult business. So why should they be banned from calling the show?

As I pointed out several posts ago, I have never called radio shows, other than the one time I called Darren Austin's show. I listen to many, and I go to the chatrooms for the shows, but I have been content to be in the audience. Darren invited anyone who wanted to call his show...to call! As far as I know, nobody called or wrote to Darren requesting *equal air time!*

People have sent me questions to ask on the show. My personal questions have mostly been asked and answered, so the only thing that leaves a nasty taste in my mouth is the fact that somebody has gotten to Gonzo and told him I cannot ask my questions. I welcome closure. I'm tired of the fighting. I'm tired of having my phones bugged and my email read by outside sources. Nobody deserves to have their rights violated in this manner.

My beef is with Gonzo. He has no power. Serge told me in email that OPRANO DOES NOT CENSOR. Okay! If that is true, why is Gonzo censoring me after inviting me to call the show? We all know what is happening here. I don't know of one radio show show that wouldn't want all sides to be heard. My God! This is the world of porn. Porn people whine and bitch every day about how the government discriminates against the porn industry. Ashcroft is crucified on every board because he is coming down hard on webmasters in porn.

Gonzo is a hypocrite. He could have dropped this subject months ago, but he instigated negativity and has been riding my ass long before I talked about hams and hackers. Gonzo spits out venom and he doesn't verify what he says. I know of no other board that allows their moderators to attack users. Didn't Amputate get banned or fired from GFY because of being out-of-control? Boards set standards for their mods, or at least they should.
