i do not see his post as being elistist, i see it as speaking truth to power.

do what you will so long as you hurt no person or property. and yet people came down on terry hard for his post. so there are people out there who think hiv is a bunch of BS, or the hiv does not = aids or whatever they think. so long as they harm no others, why come down so hard on that minority? what i see and what i think terry sees is tyranny of the minority (queer geeks) now in the majority in this forum (inherently). perhaps it wasn't the approprite forum in which to post his site, and he could seriously use some proofreading of texts, but because his views are different is no reason to be so hostile or so condescending, so long as he harms no person or property, neither of which he was advocating.

"I am hoping that is sarcasm I am smelling"
well thanks for the vivid characterization of my post. very kind of you.

where in terry's post here did he say all that theo claims? putting words into his mouth like that is bullshit projection of whatever origin. if terry presses your buttons, go check your buttons first. your condescending sarcasm is what terry speaks to: the tyranny of the new majority, dismissing the views of others simply because you do not understand or do not agree, even though his views in no way affect you personally.

ultimately my words mean nothing, you apparently believe only what you want to believe, you create stories of others and then hold them to those stories, effectively, they are lies.

one's own truth is not necessarily THE truth, and disagreement does not equal disrespect -- something a lot of people here on tribe seem to forget.

i'm going back to being geeky with my math textbooks. enjoy your day.
