well, i only just saw that whois page on tony yesterday, and then hearing this big npr piece on backpage today just sort of freaked me out.If you check over old posts at VV, you'll see that there was endless nattering by a pro-scilon troll, about the backpage site and Tony, even though Tony had nothing to do with it. The company he worked for also owned backpage, there was no more to it than that. The first major online attacks on Tony started appearing as this was going on, though the very weak link to backpage was almost all the ammo they had.
Then Tony stopped working there, and VV spun off or sold backpage last year.
By now the relationship between Tony and backpage is so remote that I'm not sure that even OSA's silly enough to try to get any mileage out of it.
stupid "church" is stupid. they should correct their smear page.
