It 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.

what msnbc doesn’t mention in the article below is that this “bizarre” case now proceeds to a civil trial in which the 14 victims will try to recover monetary damages from the two now-criminally-guilty perpetrators. coverage of that phase of the case will probably slip under the radar of international coverage, too. remember, all the original media articles are in dutch, not english, so it eludes googling.
there was also a recent trial in canada in which a man was found criminally responsible for knowingly infecting others with the virus. can’t find my notes on it. no civil damages though, as i...

Just this morning I came up with the idea, but it’s so last minute that I probably won’t do it, but I would love to get some official “She’s Still Here Tour 2008″commemorative T-Shirts. Well it is Thursday, it may not be too late to get some done up:)
Originally I thought I was doing my Proud FM interview live, but we were recording it while my pal Shaun, and his on-air cohort for the day did their shtick.
Now I promised that I was going to turn into that Texas stage mother of beauty pageant queen five-year-old (I promise I’ll guard her and keep this circuit pageant queen to be alive and...

The hat is to hide the bad hair.
I’m determined to ride the coat-tails (is that a hyphenated word? Where are they hyper-correct grammartarians when you need them. I googled the gammartarians thing, and this spelling was the most used for this made up word).
Hildy, Hilditta, or as I commonly call her, Chicalitta, as my Spanish teacher calls her, will be appearing with me on Proud FM today.
It’s official, I’m a D-List AIDS Celebrity with an A-List Dog.
I paid a lot of money for her, and just as in the world of human trafficking, she’s going to have to earn her keep!
Photos to follow.

All of Us: The lives of HIV-positive Black women highlighted on filmAirs on the Showtime Network on World AIDS Day—Dec 1st, 2008.Early in the epidemic, 10% of New Yorkers with HIV were women. Today, 1 in 3 is a woman. Black women continue to be affected disproportionately by the virus, new research shows. As of 2005, Black women accounted for 64 percent of the women who were living with HIV/AIDS in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Today's H.I.V. epidemic among women and girls is fueled largely by heterosexual transmission. In an effort to raise awareness of the impact of HIV...

I'm thrilled by my most recent endorsement for My Pet Virus. You may remember these guys from The Karate Kid. While not at their 1980's fighting heyday, the Cobra Kai Dojo is still turning out some knuckle-justice bullies who believe in the "strike first, ask questions later" philosophy. Next Monday is World AIDS Day, and I think we can all take a page from the Cobra Kai philosophy when it comes to HIV/AIDS, an epidemic that is in serious need of an ass-whoopin'.
So, if you're looking for a way to commemorate World AIDS Day, switch your Facebook/MySpace profile icon over to the red ribbon below. Let friends know that Worl...

Reposted from Leap Into the Void by Michael BuitronAlmost twenty years ago, the first "Day Without Art" took place as a
way to remember those who have died of AIDS--and the impact the virus
has had on the arts community. A New York Times article from that era captures a sampling of some 800 events that happened in museums, galleries and symphony halls across the nation.In
New York, in a prelude to the day's activities, about 500 people
crowded into the lobby and balconies of the Museum of Modern Art on
Thursday night for a service at which Leonard Bernstein dedicated a
two-minute composition for piano and two voices ...
