I really hate the people and politics behind "Turn Off the Red Light" because I know how rotten, ruthless and self serving they are...
...but...I am not really a "people person", I can't do all that private headgaming that it takes to gain and sustain a following so I wanted, and intended, to do as much as I could, alone.
I had fallen for all the hype and did not want anything to do with E-I at all. Look back to my first posts and you will see it was Lucy Chambers who manipulated me into posting here by significantly misrepresenting what I had said on a newstalk interview.
I only wanted to go on doing whatever I could alone. The last thing I wanted was months of vicious, poisonous, constant head games more from the people who are supposed to be on the same side than from the opposition...
The way I feel right now I am inclining towards "the Iranian Model".
Trouble is, the sex industry isn't about a handful of toxic little madams and their master getting off on pushing people around and making noise...it's about all the quiet people in the background, trying to get on with their lives terrified of drawing the attention of this nasty crap.
Well I will tell you something, legalisation and/or decriminalisation will mean a degree of regulation and ZERO TOLERANCE for crime and abuse *within* the sex industry.
That may come as a rude awakening for some people, wherever it finally happens.
