"Toast" is much better than "junk" as a euphemism I think.
Me and the 3D Coat guy are worlds apart but you know... he seems so darn earnest. I read his bio too. I respect that kind of honesty and conviction and I respect people who can communicate their convictions like that in a straight forward and sensitive way. I really would not use 3D-Coat to butter my toast in anyway I thought he thought might be harmful to people or scare the horses or anything after reading that. The reason is that I wouldn't want to hurt the guys feelings. Really.
If 3DU just said, "yeah I was harmed by porn so please don't use my product for porn" or "my faith says I should not help people make porn" or something like that I could totally respect that... but you won't win my sympathesies by being a judgmental prig. Jesus drank wine with the tax collector and the prostitute... if you want to make a difference the thing is to state your convictions and your reasons for them and just maybe it will make someone think or even come around to your point of view. Faith should not come at the edge of a sword. Brow beating someone with plain old abuse just doesn't seem like a real practical way to lead by example.
