I think it could be argued that the Alt-ID was the only reason you felt "big and bad enough" to post to thread with a sweet "lifestyle choice" dig.
Petty am I? Possibly.
Taking responsibility for my comments am I? definitely
Can you claim the same? No.
Stand by your comments or don't post them chicken

I've always thought part of the reason we have OT posts here is so we can share our news - good and bad - whether it's the birth of a baby, one of our friends losing their job, or one of our friends being diagnosed with a serious illness. This is a community where the members do consider each other friends, and as such we like to congratulate each other on the good times and support each other through the bad times.
That's what we're doing for Angelsboi. Just like we did for Mistwell when he was going through a tough time. It's no different just because Angelsboi made a different "lifestyle choice".
My two penn'orth.

To get back on topic: Ryan, how are you taking to the new meds? Any nausea yet? Hope things are still improving healthwise and you're still managing to eat regularly.
Sending hugs as always hon.

Really good point Randomling. Really good.
Honestly, it's a great point.
Maybe the first forum should just be "General Discussion". Nah. That's silly.
My intention wasn't to p**s everyone off or hurt anyone's feelings.
This is a very adult topic. This is also a very sensitive one. It's a little different in the fact that it's, for the most part, a very adult affliction, that(more often than not) result's from very adult decisions.
I appreciate the post, random. Thank you.

Still not feeling like you want your name attached to these "non-insulting" thoughts?

OK, I'm trying hard to think of a way to respond to this without getting political. I don't know the statistics off-hand, but I do know that many millions of children have died of AIDS (so I don't know in what sense you call it an "adult affliction"), and that HIV is not solely a sexually transmitted disease. It's not confined to the gay community, either, as I'm sure you know.
I'm not treating this any differently than if it was cancer. One of my friends is seriously ill, and though he is on the other side of the Atlantic from me, I want to do everything I can to support and help him through this difficult time.

*nods* OK, let's not get into the demographics of HIV infections.
Oddity, if you're genuinely concerned about the appropriateness of this topic on ENWorld, I'd suggest you start a thread in Meta. That way we can keep this thread for supporting Angelsboi and keeping up with his news.
