Porn Valley- During the Porn Industry Spokesman debate on KSEX, www.ksexradio.com Friday night, Rob Spallone, Quasarman and Bill Margold were asked a question concerning whether Sharon Mitchell should resign her position with AIM and why.
Margold answered: "Sharon has put in a long, and I think loyal and noble fight. But I think that it's time that she step down to go on her career which is now - she's a Ph.D. in human sexuality - take the message on the road and turn AIM, and eventually whatever is also created in competition, over to real doctors with real medical, professional backgrounds and keep the health of this industry as vital as possible."
Answering the question, Rob Spallone, who's been one of Mitchell's biggest critics over the years, surprisingly didn't think that Mitchell should step down.
"She's been there since the beginning, she should keep going," Spallone said.
"Should there be some changes made? Definitely," Spallone thinks. "One hundred percent and the talent have already said that they want changes and there are going to be some changes. And if there's not, the talent are a bunch of retards because six years ago when fuckin' six people came up HIV positive, nothing changed. It changed for a few weeks. And now five years later, six years later, five more people came up HIV positive. What should we do? make like nothing happened? Or be a little fuckin' worried for a few months then go back to it? The producers and directors don't give a fuck. They're not getting AIDS."
Quasarman's opinion was also that Mitchell shouldn't step down.
"I think that a central agency responsible for the dissemination of this information is vital to the safety of the people in this industry," he states. "Could things be done better? Sure. But who's going to do them better, I don't know. Until somebody comes up with a name of the magic person that's going to step in and make everything perfect and flawless, I think Sharon Mitchell's just fine. And the fact that people are coming up HIV positive is, indeed, tragic, but it's gonna happen and there's nothing you can do about it. And I wouldn't blame those particular cases on Sharon Mitchell, whether the time line from this was a little off or whether the time line for that was. She didn't give anybody HIV. It's an occupational hazard, and, personally I'm thankful that she was there to contribute as much as she could to the crisis."
