I know we want as many people as possible to join the coalition, totally agree with that, but being misleading and using scare tactics is not the way to do it. Preying on the small time webmaster's fears by saying that only FSC members will benefit from this particular litigation attempt is not only 100% dead wrong, but also as manipulative as the very forces the FSC are up against.

When Ashcroft, or Gonzales, or Bush, or anyone, used these sorts of tactics and blanket statements to induce a fear-related response from the populace, dozens of GFY threads popped up calling them out.

Don't stoop to their level.

I'm an FSC member, not as big time as I'd like to be, but still someone in it for the long haul, and I'm disappointed that both FSC personel, and you yourself Lens, are lowering yourselves to a near-propaganda level in order to drive memberships.

MAKO, keep in mind the deal was struck between the FSC and the DOJ. I think the words are being chosen very carefully. Not as a scare tatic but for legal reasons. we'll see it all play out.
