Discourse online about preventing STDs, HIV, TB, herpes has been problematical. How are participants continuingly made welcome? How are participants encouraged to foment discourse without fearing a retributing moderating when there are disagreements? For example, see http://continuedat.blogspot.com

Online forums need to be improved, as potential case studies, summits' forums' moderating has been operating contrary to the vision enunciated for http://www.2009lgbtihealth.org The 2009 National LGBTI Health Summit, The Bisexual Health Summit, the agenda enunciated for the http://gaymenshealth.ning.com Gay Men's Health Summit. In the cases of these online forums the Socratic Method http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method needs to be invoked. At least three of the participants in the stdprevention forum http://www.stdpreventiononline.org/index.php/blog/view/517 have been involved. The others can take responsibility for their actions, enter in a discourse on the topic and conduct exchanges in a manner that we can learn more about discourse in online forums about preventing STDs, HIV, TB, herpes.

Perhaps your bizarre method of discourse is putting people off.

It appears that every few days you start a new blog, essentially
containing the same stuff as your previous ones, and then spam it
everywhere you can think of.

The first entry I see in your latest blog effort is this:

when is a proposal to collect data to verify a claim about a method to
reduce HIV infections and AIDS deaths being hateful or hating?

how is the proposal for the collection of data to verify a claim...
ugly, inflammatory, mean-spirited?

It means NOTHING to me. You appear to be quoting a previous message,
but you don't specify who it was from or provide a link to the
original.
