NL-I’m looking up the orgs with the info Shelley Lubben gave us and will keep updating this as I find things. I think we all have a right to know how organizations that represent the adult industry spend their money. Since that money is received to help those in our industry and many of us donate to them I believe we are entitled to the details. I have respect for those that put it out in public for us to see and aren’t trying to hide how it is spent. I’ll start with PAW & Free Speech Coalition…

I find it very interesting that LIB, a very current and seemingly on-top-of-things journalistic entity constantly probes pro-industry companies, but seems to side with Shelley Lubben and The Pink Cross in every way. I can always see the diversion tactics in Shelley’s information, but I am really surprised that LIB falls for it, unless they are taking money from her. Shelley is, after all, someone who would like to see the entire industry shut down, yet it supports a banner dedicated to her anti-porn organization and constantly posts everything she sends in the way of videos and information. A diversion from her own deceptive goings on, to be sure.
I will also be questioning any convention organization that allows her to erect her booths, since through emails I have, she laughs at industry people who will posts anything she wants, and allow her access to the floor of conventions where she can insult and solicit her anti-porn activism in the name of her lobbyist group, The Pink Cross, even though her non-profit organization is limited in the amount of time and money they can expend on political ventures.
I can see where money will sway anyone, but this is foul. If LIB is not indifferent to all information, then post The Pink Cross’ financial records, too, and question their motives, as well.
You can find them at The Pink Cross’ site.
I read LIB, but this is my first time I’m writing a comment. I’m a female porn performer and run my own website. Julie Meadow’s agenda bothers me. Julie “I find it interesting” that you’re spending so much time commenting on LIB when you write for MikeSouth.com. It’s a well known fact that Mike South doesn’t like LIB or Cindy. Are you here to try to start some trouble for your documentery? Or are you writing coke fueled arguments? Things you are questioning, are answered in the posts. Did you just read the first line of each and go off on a rant? Didn’t you used to write for this site? Did you get fired? Is that the reason for your childish behavur? What is your documentery about? Why doesn’t anyone want to be interviewed by you? I don’t know you, but from what I have read I wouldn’t be in it either. You come across like you are about to go off the deep end.
No, get your facts straight, first. Before I ever wrote for Mike’s site my own post on my blog was reviewed here: https://www.lukeisback.com/?p=7101
You’re not addressing the issue, you are assuming, but the fact is that Shelley Lubben has her own agenda, and the only adult industry blog that seems to cater to it is the blog that posts her banner on their page: LIB. This isn’t about Mike. I have my own blog and my own voice. If you can’t address the obvious issues here, it’s because you are part of it. My documentary is complimentary to the talent, it is not geared towards anything but being complimentary towards the talent. Are you a watch dog sent to scatter the issue? Address the issue. But maybe you can’t? Just address the original issue “xxxpee-er”.
“Or are you writing coke fueled arguments?” What does that mean? That I do coke?
“Did you just read the first line of each and go off on a rant?” Of each what? No, I’ve been commenting here for years. You’re the one that sounds like you’re on something.
“Didn’t you used to write for this site? Did you get fired?” No. You don’t do any research, do you. Very intelligent.
“Is that the reason for your childish behavur?” Do you mean “behavior”? Did I get fired from where? What do you have to hide that you’re assuming and not answering my basic questions? wtf? Who are you and exactly where do you come from anyway? I never worked here nor did I ever get “fired fro here”. Simple questions. People who can’t answer simple questions have to provide diversions.
“What is your documentery about?” Intelligent women from the adult industry. Go to my site and find out… or maybe you just attack without investigation.
“Why doesn’t anyone want to be interviewed by you?” Plenty of people have been interviewed by me. You must be with Shelley’s organization. That’s the only thing that makes sense. Why else would you be so sensitive so fast, and for apparently no reason?
“I don’t know you, but from what I have read I wouldn’t be in it either. You come across like you are about to go off the deep end.” From what I can tell you’re a nobody anyway. Why would I want to interview you? My questions are valid. LIB posts all of Shelley Lubbens’s ideas, videos, attacks… all of it. Yet, there is nothing that questions her motives. Attack me as much as you want. You can’t avoid the fact that Shelley owns this site. Explain it if you can, but it’s the only thing that makes sense.
Try facts next time, instead of allegations. I’m pointing to facts here. Shelley wants to take down porn, yet porn’s most popular resource promotes her and never questions her. Why? Answer that please. You are an assumptive person. Answer the question.
Julie, I am pretty sure that the banner was up due to the fact that they were sponsoring the blog for a few hundred a month.
Yes. I’m sure that is exactly it. Why else post it? Why else post every single thing that Shelley throws its way? I’m sorry, but some people just should not be able to get a free pass because they pay for advertising. Sometimes reserving the right to refuse service is a good thing. It would certainly be the honorable thing, in this situation.
“Why else post everything Sheley thorws its way?
Perhaps you have heard the phrase Freedom of Speech?
Would you argue that porners should sometimes be ‘refused service/”
I never argue the right to refuse service to anyone. I worked in the food industry, and I applaud anyone who puts “WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE” in their window because some people are just horrible and they bully and they treat people badly. And I didn’t say that Shelley’s comments should be barred, or that someone should sew her mouth shut, you moron. There’s a big difference between throwing around a comment and sending loads of videos and press releases and letters to someone who posts all of it because they’re on your bankroll. It’s just a question. I like Cindy, but I deserve to be here as much as anyone and I deserve to ask my questions, but Cindy can always reserve the right to block my comments. I very freely express myself on my own site, I’d just like to see some thoughtfulness about what that woman actually represents to the industry she wants to squash under her hooker heels.
You’re on Shelley’s team roster or you wouldn’t be here harassing other people who practice their free speech. If she’s not paying you directly then you are a contributor to her organization through donations or blog site harassment. I’m not the one with a problem with the industry. Shelley is and you are. So why are you here? If you don’t like it, don’t troll porn sites and forums.
Where’d all these bitchy chicks come from? I come here for some fun, and laughs, but lately whole lotta shit talking going on. I don’t mind it when it’s a buncha dudes complaining about porn shit, but when it’s hos throwing shit at this site it bugs me. I like this site. I like the people thta write on here. I like the chick that runs it. You come here and complain and moan about everything you need to go somewhere else. You don’t like what is on here, go get your own site. Looks to me like all the tax shit posted is from 2008, makes sense that if ya wanna compare it, itd be all in the same year. I don’t like shelly lubben, and im not on her sidee, but I wanna know what shess saying about porn, so reading it on here is good so that porn people know what they are up agaainst. Julie Meadows has to be a porn ho cause she is looken for attention, by talken shit about this site, shelly and cindy. Joe Know- dont know ya, but agree with the freedom of speech stuff you just said. thanks. adding on here-most be tough to not delete some of yalls bitch comments. i know id want to. Cant believe really that the trash talk some of you do stays on the site. But that is one of the reasons i like it here. you chicks deserve to be shut down, but you aren’t. Free speech man.
“Cant believe really that the trash talk some of you do stays on the site. ” lol So, “..but when it’s hos throwing shit at this site it bugs me.” So your slang about “hos” isn’t trash talk? And my question isn’t valid? So, porn for you is fun and all laughs as long as a “ho” is shu-en the fuck up and takin’ some mother fuckin’ cum, yo? “YoHo”? Oh my… Your opinion is stated so eloquently, how can I argue. lol
