It started in one of Zac's Answerman column threads. I don't recall which one it was though but it was one of the lengthier response threads.

A recreation of that thread.

(Chris Beveridge) Porn is as sophisticated as mainstream entertainment, you cretins.

(Zac) No it's not. Get a life.

(Gatsu) ANN actually has reviewed porn in Bamboo's column in the past.

(Chris Beveridge) Well instead of apologizing, I'll just go off on my merry way and come up with more opinion pieces I can present as factual news stories.

porn really isnt as sophistocated, it doesnt need to be to get the job done.

it may have great technical merits(rarely) but sophistication is one thing it lacks.

maybe you've found better stuff than I so please give me any titles and I'll thank you for them!(hentai not regular)

I believe this is the thread you were referring to, Chris. Despite its tone, it actually was a great conversation you had with Zac. I wish we had more conversations like that here.

Gatsu, go ahead and disagree with Chris, but be less of a jerk about it, okay?

Chris and I disagree on a number of things but I still respect the man.

Hey I feel for you BD; as a fellow Avs fan the whole goaltending soap opera is rather distressing. But going to one of their away games sounds like fun. I wish I had the means to do it though.

As another Avs fan Bamboo, it has been a painful season sofar for me to watch. But on the upside Liles is on the U.S. Olympic team.

Well at least the Broncos are doing good, with both the Nuggets and Avs strulgling this year.


I can't wait tell Bamboo takes a look at Shuffle when it comes over. Laughing

Chris has always run AoD not as a hard news site, but as an informative OP/ED site.

I don't know why you insist on insulting him over it. Its not like you're forced to read AoD, and its existence doesn't deprive you of an alternate site that you might prefer.

You can be as mad as you want though, but please be careful about what you say here. We don't permit people to insult each other here, and that includes insulting the maintainers of other websites. It's one thing to criticise, and another entirely to insult. Further insults won't be tolerated.


Chris is, IMHO, also one of the few getting that kind of site right, a very reasonable balance between "just the facts" and "opinion opinion opinion." Most people who try end up with pure crap that's mostly opinion and mostly stupid.

Obviously ANN and AoD are run differently, but remember that the two sites were started with different purposes in mind. ANN is meant to be a news service, while AoD was meant as an advocacy site.

Recently I've been very impressed with Twitch as well, but I think the maintainer could improve the site a by making the writing style more objective sounding.

Anyways... I agree with neither Zac nor Chris on the subject. Chris is a big perv, and Zac is a big prude :-p
