Whiskey, It's really funny to me that with the handle "Whiskey" you would be concerned with what my daughter does in her chat rooms. There are many chat rooms on AOL where children chat with other children, and in my opinion, they are relatively safe. When people get too personal, IE: ask personal questions, or become vulgar or obnoxious, my children have been instructed to alert either their mother or myself. Now, at this point, do you still find my statements complicated? I attempted to be as explicit as I could in my previous post. According to your handle, you like to sip a bit. Would you want me dictating how much and when you can have a drink? Suppose my handle was "likes nudes". Would that give you license to review my activities, and to censor me and what I see or read? I think not. Please reread my previous message. I think maybe you have had a little too muck whiskey to have comprehended my post before responding with yours. Have a good night, I'm off to bed, so you have no compelling need to fire back, Phil

<<Supporting companies like ZAP who in turn own these sites is part of the problem. I would like to first know what there intentions are before I make a decision. If its business as usual at the site then I am out.>> Let me once again clarify. The owners and operators of Bianca's do not post pornography. Actually their advertising as such is usually involving various dating services and innocuous things such as pen pal services etc. However, they don't help themselves any by having a section of their community known as The Smut Shack. My feeling is that it began as a very tongue-in-cheek adult chat site. But it's very difficult to keep such sites from getting out of control. The good news is that it would take very little effort to remove any controversial practices by the users from this community and I hope that is what they plan to do. I am not suggesting strict censorship because I don't believe for a second that there is a chat room that at some time hasn't or isn't going to be faced with this. Even Ed M. has admitted to this.
