are a lot of old timers that don't spend a lot of time writing aor
editing policies. They don't have time to deal with the mind fucking
experience of arguing with policy hawks. The practical approach for
them is to wait until they are personally affected by the policy in
question before participating in the discussion.
There's a lot to be said for that, but some of us don't get the
choice. From the moment in January, 2005, when I thought "wouldn't it
be a good idea if people reading this article could actually see a guy
sucking his own cock, just the same as we've decided that a person
visiting the clitoris article will see a clitoris", and boldly acted
upon that thought, it was evident to me that even if I tried to run
from policy, it was going to happen to me anyway.
