Mailbag

What I love about the web is the opportunity to share my thoughts with others. But I also like to hear what others think and to exchange ideas.

On this page, I'll share some of the comments I've received in my guestbook and via e-mail. Where appropriate, I'll include a link to the original article, review, or interview that provoked the comment. In some cases, I also may respond to the comments.

hypocrisy

Dear Al,

You are a hypocrite. The last time I was visiting your site and reading all
about your group's vigilance against forces of corruption and whatnot, I was
interrupted by a pop-up ad that promoted "Hot teenage girls! XXX!" So you
preach the horrors of deviance sexual behavior, but are sponsored by smut
peddlers.

As an adult dancer, I take offense. Someone needs to defend the female
youth in America. If I'd been able to avoid the trappings of child
pornography perhaps I wouldn't be in the situation I am today.

RE: hypocrisy

Dear Shaniqua,
I am shocked and sorry to find out that an ad for an Adult website popped up while logged on to my site. We at the United Outraged American Families for Decency obviously does not stand for that sort of business. In fact, we currently do not take in sponsorship of any kind. The items which pop up as well as banners are through the hosting agency, rather than through the UOAFD. I will however find out what I can do to fix that. Thank you so much for pointing it out, I have a pop-up blocker which prevented me from ever seeing such pop-ups.

As far as the other part of your letter, I am glad to hear you are an adult who enjoys dancing. I like to dance, myself. I have gone to several weddings and parties where friends of mine have told me I can really cut a rug.

Thanks,
Al Candra
