Ritmo,

I think airing the controversy over BB sex and STD risks on the board is healthy. I'm glad this does not
go unexamined. I find your argument plausible that public health professionals have been shaping their messages according to political winds (to deflect the primary at risk group from discrimination and having the epidemic labeled a gay disease, as well as warning everyone else of the risk). That said, medical science is testable. Empirically, we know that AIDS and a whole bunch of diseases are transferable through heterosexual sex. Risk is reduced through the use of condoms.

To minimize the dangers of transmission through BB sex with prostitutes on a public board is morally bankrupt. Ritmo, you present no credentials and no research. You engage in ad hominem attacks that go against board rules. You set yourself up as a victim against heavy handed orthodoxy. David versus the establishment. None of this posturing speaks to the merits of your argument. Lastly, two months ago you crusaded to exclude the notorious Lakers from the board on such high-minded principles while now you demand free speech rights for your dissenting views. Brother, your noble toga has slipped.
