Now there’s even more information here for people to evaluate for themselves.

Zubblin remains banned and Barry remains someone I will choose to link to when I feel it’s warranted. If you disagree with my decision, you’re welcome to discuss it elsewhere, but not on my blog. See the comments policy.

The “years ago” that Amp sold his domain was precisely two years ago, in October of 2006. The first year he received the rough equivalent, according to his own words, of a year’s salary.

As to Alas “not containing any links to porn,” uh huh. Kindly go to the main page of Amp’s blog. Go down to the very bottom on the right, where it reads:

“Alas, a blog runs on WordPress blogging and review software. Entries (RSS) and Comments (RSS). ”

Click on “review” which is a link. You will pull up a page on Amptoons.com that is entitled “Honest Reviews.” Click on “Websites”. You will pull up a page on Amptoons which features links to the following:

Click on the links, for example, “Ball Honeys” and “Eighth Street Latinas” (which are the two I chose) and you will pull up pornographic images.

If you do not believe me, click here, but beware you will pull up, again, racist, pornographic images:

Amp, that comment up there is *dishonest*. Do you really think those of us you have repeatedly thrown under the bus will let you get away with this kind of shmoozing? You say you are a feminist, you know what? I see you as a man with huge issues with women and it sucks that so many view you as someone who really gives a shit.

Alas contains “no links to porn” my eye. Please click above.

As to the financial hardships, in Amp’s original explanation he said that “down the line” he’d be in trouble if he didn’t do something. Unllike those of us who blog away day after day when we are already in trouble, and who depend on those who support us to continue, which is the honorable thing to do.

God. I cannot believe, Amp, that you stated here there is no porn on your site! Did you forget?

Geez, that wasn’t concern trolling, but just straight-up normal old trolling. Good riddance!

This, I believe, does more good than moving to another domain would, even though I get a lot of shit for not moving.”

What other monies to you receive from the pornographers Ampersand? It’s taken you over two years to admit that you’re still getting cash from them, not that it wasn’t blindingly obvious.

It’s not unlike continuing to share a website domain with the KKK then justifying it by saying you hand over the money to anti-racist organisations.

I don’t see why Ampersand is getting the good guy creds here, this – http://reviews.amptoons.com/review/bangbros – is what keeping his blog on the pornographer’s domain is supporting. How can any feminist be OK with that?

Someone who’s been acting just like a concern troll flounces and then comes back for more in under 10 minutes. Imagine.

You’ve made your point, Zubblin. It’s there for everyone to see and evaluate for themselves. And now you’re banned, ’cause you’re boring me.

How am I a concern troll? Don’t they usually say something like “if u don’t wanna be fat, just don’t eat!”

You are just trying to dismiss and invalidate my feelings and opinions, which as a feminist, I find extremely problematic.
