Well, it may be silly, but if that’s what a person believes, they have a right to it. But thank you for clearing up what you said-that made more sense.

Sorry that this took so long, I usually don’t post from home and I am just now back at work. The reason why I gave examples of my unsafe sex was to let you know I wasn’t trying to be ‘holier than thou’. It’s more like ‘We (and most people) are NOT being safe (by my definition) and I think we are fooling ourselves if we take risks and pretend we aren’t’. I felt like I had to say this because PharmBoy (who may be homophobic for all I know, but we can’t be sure) was attacked for basically saying that promiscuity, even if you are using a condom, is dangerous. I personally don’t care if Esprix is promiscuous or not - if this leads to someone getting infected, it’s not entirely his fault, the responsibility would be shared between him and the person who chose to take that chance with him. I just think that when it becomes a knee-jerk reaction to attack people for pointing out the dangers, it’s not a good thing. Yes, PharmBoy said these things in an insensitive manner, but I think it’s being judgemental to say that he’s a homophobic jerk for speaking his mind, when I agree that too much faith is being placed on ‘safe sex’ and not enough people are actually making sacrifices for safety beyond a slight reduction in sensation from wearing a condom. ---

I don’t know what bug is up your ass, or what amazing dyslexia you have that could so contort my words in your feeble little mind, but… you don’t know what the hell you are talking about. But, what’s new? All right, let’s take this one step at a time. I guess I’ve just been outrunning your thought processes or something. In the very first post to this thread - the VERY FIRST (you know what “first” means, don’t you?) - you said: > [@](#): > > Why be a dick and start being judgemental about someone else’s life? Along with a bunch of other ranting and raving… basic hot-headed knee-jerk reaction without any thought put into the words whatsoever… that basically said something along the lines of “don’t judge someone else’s choices”. You were responding to Ryan when he made comments about how other people have a right to disagree with someone else’s lifestyle. I thought (you know what a “thought” is, don’t you?), “How interesting. Apparently, our good friend **Hastur** , enlightened soul that he is, has developed the ability to rise above such petty things as casting quick and hasty judgements on someone else’s decisions in life. Good for him!” However, later on in this thread, you said: > [@](#): > > I think that the concept of waiting until marriage is archaic and antiquated. I think it leads to a lot of trauma for both parties, which is unnecessary. I’ll give you a few moments to think about that. No, no, don’t start thinking how you can pretend to ignore the fact that you screwed up with petty insults, just think about that. … … Seems pretty “judgemental” to say such things, doesn’t it? Think of it this way… suppose I had said: > [@](#): > > I think that the concept of homosexuality is archaic and antiquated. I think it leads to a lot of trauma for both parties, which is unnecessary. Wouldn’t that be pretty judgemental? Why is it okay to be harsh towards heterosexuality but not homosexuality? It isn’t, Hasty. Now, maybe you should go to your room and think things over a bit. Hey, get your wife to help you! She’s bound to be more level-headed than you are. Hell, a carrot is bound to be more level-headed than you are. ---

Spoo: You are entitled to your opinion, wrong and pathetic as it is. The big difference is: PharmBoy was personally criticizing someone directly. I was stating my opinion of what I think is right without attributing it to anyone else or expecting them to live to my standards. If you might have notice, Guin asked. She asked, I responded. You seem to like to focus on someone and relentlessly attack them, especially if you are in the wrong. You are no better than a bully who delights in causing problems and tries to find the weaknesses of others so you can feel superior. You are a sad individual who needs to derive their power from attempting to steal it from another. Grow the fuck up, little person. Your game is obvious and sad. ---

…Moreover, if Esprix has made an educated consideration the small risk inherent in his sexual behaviour and decided to take the risk anyway, he can hardly be accused of “ignoring” anything just because his results differed from yours. Listening, considering, and coming to a conclusion do not constitute “ignoring”, regardless of whether you disagree or would act differently. ---

> [@](#): > > You seem to imply that there will be consequences to my actions, or, rather, that I am oblivious to being responsible for any negative ones (of which I can think of none). Both are inaccurate - there is absolutely nothing wrong with two safe, sane, consensual souls passing in the night. He is saying that there are no consequences for his actions. I think this is what some of the posters are having problems with. He’s not saying ‘I’m having fun and doing what I can to reduce the risks’. I think the attitude that you can avoid all consequences of casual sex simply by wearing a condom is foolish and dangerous. ---

See the difference? A lot of it is the way the message was voiced, and the place it was put in. While it may be accurate _in general_ to state that having multiple sexual partners constitutes a greater risk of transmitting STDs and possibly AIDS, it is an **insult** and an **insinuation** to assume that Esprix, in this case, does not pay heed to this common knowledge and sleeps with every Tom, Dick, and Harry without being abreast of their sexual history. It’s the implied ignorance, more than anything, that I object to. Moreover, **PharmBoy** then _generalises_ his remark by applying it to the homosexual community (for lack of a better term) at large. It’s wrong and insulting on so many accounts, that I find myself amazed at the number of times I’ve been asked to explain myself over it the last two days. ---
