i'm not telling mike how to run his business, its up to him, just an idea.

you need a lesson in logic 101.
i am sure they have fully weighed the following and have much better info to allow them to do so than you or i ever will...
- the potential net gain of a few webmasters - representing a statistically irrelevent number of people online
- the potential net loss of the rest of the internet that register domains because their registrar is telling them that they don't want to do anything about children seeing porn.
directnic is not a porn company. porn, represents a smaller and smaller part of revenue online every year.
the rest of the world does not care about "i have a dream speeches" and all they know is the news blurbs about .xxx and protecting children and child pornography.
there is no other side to it in the general publics mind other than what those nasty pornographers have to say... you know.. the same people that run credit card scams, install viruses/spyware, reset homepages, rip off credit cards and lie and lie and lie to make the sale.
take your blinders off. the general public thinks you are a scumbag... and they are not going to take your side no matter how far you want to stretch things in telling them that the constitution is under attack or with any other absurd arguement that they don't want to hear from you.. because they are not listening to you, never have and never will. they certainly aren't going to speak for you or rally behind you.
