Ah …
Now that’s a welcome piece of news, I think.
I’ve just managed to catch this article on the BBC’s site.
About how ICANN, the body responsible for managing the Internet, has now given final approval to the ‘.xxx’ domain.
The domain name allows for adult sites to be grouped together under one banner.
Now some in the adult entertainment industry are complaining this will lead to its ghettoisation: and various religious groupings have argued this will legitimise the industry.
Personally … ?
Personally, I’ll happily admit that — like a lot of men and one or two of my female friends — I’ve watched some entertainingly explicit material.
But it’s material I think may well be inappropriate for anyone under 18 to go near: my former partner, Allison would certainly give me an earful if I let Squeaky near anything untoward, while she was using the Mac Mini, or Archie, the Dell Pc, just behind me, with a version of Arch Linux.
I’m also very aware that one or two friends and co-workers — much more devout than me — may not be be happy about a .xxx domain: but would probably be happy about being able to filter the contents.
Personally … ?
I’m pleased to see this.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
