Subscribe to this blog's feedIt has come to my attention that I have been mean to someone.
Someone who was not at all kind to me, and has not been kind to other forum members for a while now.
Apparently, by calling the person on his behavior, whilst never once mentioning his literacy or his word usage, I am mean.
Apparently, people who are cruel and dismissive of others are allowed to behave badly, whereas those like myself who treat them as adults and hold them to standards of behavior, not literacy, are punished.
This bodes badly for the forums, when voices like my own are silenced, and attacks on me and others are allowed to perpetuate.
I am sorry to say that AIDSMeds has lost my loyalty today. Because as I have said in the past, people who have the most to contribute are the first to be sacrificed.
I only regret that it took so long for the axe to come to me.
something's going wrong with my computer, i think. i posted a comment - it wasn't there, but then it was again.
maybe i should call my friend Robert to try to figure out what the problem might be.
he's good with computers.

Not sure I understand what is happening but I for one do not ever want to see you silenced...I look forward to your "voice", to your intelligent, well written and often fun-filled approach to the insanity of living with disease...please don't go away...
Jonathan: You write "people who have the most to contribute are the first to be sacrificed" and I find in the AM setting this is not the case. The first to be "sacrificed" are sock puppets, chronic flame baiters, marketers, etc. The forum moderators allow members a lot of leash length before yanking or detaching. I am curious about one thing. Is there a known ranking system within the forums to determine those who have the most to contribute or is that a self-assessment? Just inquirin'.
I have come to the coclusion that you are a disturbed person. Very different than how I once looked at you. You are perhaps one of the most insensitive people I have ever come across. No wonder all you have in your life is a bunch of animals.
One can't help but notice who does and does not have the courage to place their name with their commentary sometimes.
Eh, "moved" and "HAVE"?

Just for the record, James Turpin, your email address comes across when your blog comments are posted. I urge you to learn to stalk more stealthily. Or, better yet, not at all.
I certainly would say that I was sorry we never met in person, except that I am pretty picky about who I meet these days. I really do have more than enough friends to fill my time, and I am actually being pretty rude to Richard as I type this, because he is tired from spending the afternoon at a holiday party with me, and that brunswick stew does not make itself.
Best of luck with all that you do, especially if it involves leaving me alone :)

If you really would like a discussion about this, I implore you to email me. I suspect you are no further than a few mouse clicks away from my personal email, and I welcome discussion with friends.
Odd that a troll would mention sock puppets.
