Ok, just a quick update about lipnews1.com.
First, you can find out real quick who owns that domain by visiting a site like http://www.dnsstuff.com.
And then I found out why this person was so upset about the porn ads/links that slithered their way onto the public comments on the Smart Retorts blog. It seems that this person (whoever it is), has made allegations in the past - very serious allegations - that they are a victim of sexual abuse.
My heartfelt sympathies go out to this person.
First, let me say that the comments on Smart Retorts will remain exactly where they are. I will not remove any comments unless I know that the information is illegal.
Porn sites that request an age verification to enter are not, to my knowledge, illegal.
And besides, these alleged "porn sites" don't even contain pictures. This was not very good investigative work and there is potentially much more at play here over the whole issue.
If you want to find out more, simply visit DNS Stuff and type in the domain http://www.lipnews1.com. Fair warning; this is kind of disturbing!
But then again, we've all been exposed to a certain weekly column on a regular basis that many find disturbing, so we're pretty used to it.
