Involving children in a hobby board: that is not charitable, it is obscene - not in any good sense of the word obscene.

True charity is always private.
Says who, you? If publicizing a charity to inspire people who may not have thought to do it increases results without compromising values, then I would say your definition of charity is too narrow, and tailored to fit your point here.
Decent folk will do the worst/best things with other adults in the privacy of their bedrooms
I've heard that people sometimes do it in the car and public places, but those people probably aren't decent. You have a pretty puritanical view of what's decent, do you know what this board is about?
but they never mention children & they never involve children.
How do you think those children come to being? You see, when a man and a woman love each other...or are drunk, the man puts his pen... screw it, nevermind.
(Trading off sex, sex with a provider, for favors to children: just sick)
You seem to think sex is dirty currency, and sex with provider even more so. Some of us don't make a distinction between sex and sex with a provider. Some of us see sex as a perfectly wholesome activity.
Do your kids know that daddy feeds them using the same money that he uses to trade for sex with hookers? Is that decent in your world?
