Things you know about AIDS
dennis:
So it's a forum on the internet. I'm still talking to real people (at least recently anyway). If it's against forum policy, that's one thing, but otherwise you're being pretty rude.

Your bias is clear. If you're not actually going to read the paper, perhaps you should lay off the armchair criticism.

So I edited some fuck-around posts out of existence. Are you saying I never should've admitted my mistake and just defended my jackassery to the last? That is absolutely preposterous. If I'm not allowed to admit I did something stupid and do my best to fix it, then you're not allowed to fart at the dinner table.
I'm not saying get rid of the thread, but that post that I referred to seemed to be rather inflammatory. I also realize that recently I haven't exactly been one to talk. My apologies to dennis, but my point still stands: it's turning inflammatory, and nobody likes inflammatory.
Edit for more on-topic:

Maybe I should've been more specific in saying that I don't think coffee trading has much to do with the spread of HIV at all. Sure, maybe some truck driver is going to go bang somebody after his run's over, but I don't think trading in and of itself is to blame. If the drivers who DO go out and have unprotected sex were to practice safer sex methods, the spread of HIV would drop tremendously, that's my bet.

He didn't say anything about whether or not you should have edited those posts, only that you did. I mean, I would assume he agrees that it was a good idea for you to edit those posts, but he didn't mention that because it's irrelevant to his point. I believe his point was that you aren't exactly the model of maturity and thus probably shouldn't be acting all holier-than-thou in speaking to others. Admittedly he was unclear about his intention in bringing that up so this is a guess on my part.
More generally his point wasn't that anything you've said or done is incorrect per se, just that you should chill out a little with telling other people what to do.
