Yesterday I posted a very long comment to the Womanist Musing blog and while there I read The below comment on that post titled: "Looking at Fem2pt0 and the Feminist Web." I was not the person who posted it but I am posting it here because I think it is worth noting.
Love for the people,

Lots already covered here. I'll just register my unhappiness at seeing that amptoons IS STILL AROUND. Why has this sanctimonious little hypocrite not been run off the feminist blogosphere for using pornography to support it? It makes me absolutely incandescent with rage to see this person's blog still considered an influential feminist blog. It is not feminist. It is a travesty. It is a lie.
Gah.
(Don't believe me? He fully admits to letting himself be paid off by the pornographic little [CENSORED] who run his servers:

Please do feel free to remove the above link if you don't want to accidentally support his miserable little blog via linkage.
*sigh*
Sorry. Back to your scheduled blogging...

Here is an excerpt from http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2007/10/22/...):
"As folks may recall, last year “amptoons.com,” the domain that hosts “Alas, a Blog,” was sold to someone whose business is “optimizing search” results on google. (His clients are mostly porn sites. Details about the sale are here.)
"The sale required “Alas” to remain on the “amptoons” server for at least a year. Although that initial year has passed, I’ve decided to keep “Alas” where it is. Staying on “amptoons” means the owner of “amptoons” will pay me $500 every three months. These payments will be donated to charity. (I’ve exchanged emails with my co-bloggers about this plan, and we’ve all agreed to it.)
"I know it’ll disappoint some folks that we’re not leaving the amptoons.com domain. I’m not looking to rehash those arguments. I am posting about this decision publicly because I think the worse mistake I made, when I sold “amptoons,” was initially keeping the sale a secret.
"I have recently received the first two payments in a $1000 lump (the next payment is due in March).Read the full story here: http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2007/10/22/...):

My question is simple:
Do you think that a porn profiteer should be listed as one of the "Top 30" Feminist blogs by a feminist web conference?
