is half-masked directives from on high which are geared against honest discussion and toward blind acceptance of orthodoxy ("I assure you that I will not be convinced otherwise"). Thanks, TJHombre, it's been real. I believe you're a good man for providing this board, but IMHO you don't know what the fuck you're talking about on this. Honest "medical professionals" will back up precisely what I've been saying about female to male transmission of HIV--I've said a hundred times, whether you heard them or not, that I'm not talking about other stuff. Maybe you believe the other people on this board are little children who need to be "protected" from "dangerous" information (even if the "danger" is mostly just to received opinion and orthodoxy)--I think more of my fellow brothers than that, and believe they are grown ups who are capable of looking at debate (when debate exists--obviously, it won't exist when some people refuse to debate and simply insult, or when others bluntly state that nothing they could possible hear would change their opinion) and making up their own minds. This is a serious difference, and someone with my perspective has no business on a board organized according to the worldview you describe here. Thanks for letting me participate for the time I've been here, and good luck to you and everyone.
