- @xyonline @ChristianAvard Gail Dines hijacks sexuality more than #porn does to 10yo boys who find it like me. http://3.ly/VkQd cc @lissyblog in reply to xyonline #
- Did you know that 5 States in America have no #hate #crime #legislation #Arizona is among them: http://ur1.ca/0g0fq Why am I not surprised? #
- @lissyblog It's in #antiporn activists' interests for ppl to remain confused and fearful about sexuality. SA: http://vb.ly/2b3a #StopPornCon in reply to lissyblog #
- Amazingly encouraging email from @KinkOnTap listener says the show turned parents' anger about their sexuality into an apologetic talk. Wow! #
- @xyonline I see no room in your org for the likes of Dines or anyone who forces victimhood on men or women under a guise of gender equality. in reply to xyonline #
- @xyonline O rly? Reads more like an absexual orgasm to me. If you're so up on diversity, why do you lack diverse opinion pieces about #porn in reply to xyonline #
- @xyonline Yes, I'd love to write something #proporn to balance all the #antiporn articles I'm seeing on your site. Thx! Email me next steps? in reply to xyonline #

- @solidadrocks That's my philosophy, too. We're exploring options to involve more producers at @KinkOnTap but don't tell anyone I said so. ;) in reply to solidadrocks #
- Speaking of technical reviewing, why am I still seeing folks say #HTML5 supports all of HTML4? It doesn't: http://ur1.ca/0e3lz #webdev #HTML #
- @estellevw You did. ;) Don't worry, it's a pet peeve & you're not the only one who says it. You wanted thorough—you'll def. be getting that! in reply to estellevw #
- Dear #lazyweb does #HTML5 allow "any element to be inside any other non-empty element"? I know of block-level link but this seems sweeping. #
