proudly advertised that it had a gigantic porn library that was
accessible by anyone. I don’t understand your point. You think that parents

LUGNET takes into the future is intentional.

Setting up a section that’s
only accessible by adults will read exactly like saying that to many

You can’t be everything to all people, so arguing that my idea isn’t isn’t
logical.
