Mike South (among others) asserts that Helmy is a secret supporter of .XXX, and is pushing Lawley's agenda in sub rosa fashion.
Helmy begs to differ.
Some in the industry see this is an utterly irrelevant question.
Others think that if it is true, it makes Helmy a "traitor to the industry" and/or a gaping asshole.
Some people point to ICM's offer to kick some of the $$ from .XXX registrations to child protection groups like ASACP (of which Helmy is the founder) smacks of "buying off" Helmy.
Others are just here enjoying the show, and haven't the foggiest idea wtf any of this is about... which won't stop them from posting statements that imply they have definitive knowledge, while still avoiding the presentation of any actual evidence in support of their claim of knowledge.
baddog (I think) is merely holding Helmy to his usual exacting BLUS (or "Baddog Linguistic Usage Standards")
I'm not sure Readers Digest would allow
all of those terms to be used in their publication, but other than that, I think I've supplied what you are looking for.
