Hey Al,
To be honest I've been feeling SO MUCH improved with meds I really didn't want to deal with all of the negativity of this site. I have absolutely ZERO negative SIDE EFFECTS to complain of and as I'd mentioned previously that I was working towards getting my life back, ALL OF IT!
There are some great people here; however, some of the individuals seem to thrive on negativity and I absolutely refuse to get sucked back into that negative frenzy. Certainly, we all have our down moments, but I think it's important to share the upside of life as well. Unfortunately, there is an overwhelming majority of negative feedback and hostility on this site so I really don't care to be part of the giant lifelong pity party for life!
I have an appointment for my first set of labs coming up on 4/5/07 after my first 30 days on meds and will of course share the info. with you guys.
For those who don't know I do happen to have my own HIV Discussion group on Myspace.
Here is the link:
http://groups.myspace.com/StraightTalkAboutHIVAIDS It is and always has been free of advertising and personal attacks as well as moderators picking and choosing their dysfunctional favorite of the week. It will remain that way and I'm now joining efforts with others with groups.
In addition, I do highly recommend Ray's new site which is Thinkpoz.com for those looking to meet other folks and the forums have started on there as well and appear to be a much more stable, functional and optimistic site ALSO free of advertising and certain moderators who pick and choose their pals while allowing others to be needlessly humiliated and attacked repeatedly.
So all are welcome to join my site or Rays or any others you like for support. Harassment and other petty bullshit is NOT tolerated by my group and both are completely FREE.
That said, I am not spending so much time on here although occasionally come online to reply to email until I'm banned as another group leader has also been.
Wishing EVERYONE the very BEST.
HUGS,
Wesley
AK, since you are one of the chief cheerleaders for the moderators I expected nothing less from you. However, now that you have opened this door I will answer. No, I've not been a hypocrit. I've NEVER "Locked" a thread when it was something I personally disagreed with or an attack; however, if you'd bothered to do your homework, you'd know that!
Peace & Love,
Wesley
Well I haven't felt this "negativity" on here.
I'll take a look at all the sites, i'm sure this is good stuff on Austin's site and Ray's site, and the more people we can reach to help is the best. If it has to be a million sites, then be it.
I don't think site war will help, but we are mature people that can judge by ourselves.

Unfortunately, many have a nickname for this site now as AIDSMESS.com.

I didn't like that comment Wes. This is not aidsmess.com. I think this website is a wonderful place and I have learned alot about living with AIDS here more than any other place and I think you have benifited from this site as well. It's not nice to turn you back on the people or things that at one point in your life helped you but you had your reasons.
Good Luck,
Al
OK. I was gonna stay out of this, but not now.

That's right. We in the collective "life long pity party" should remember that this is the same individual who absolutely flipped the f___ out at the mere suggestion he might have to trade in his comfy HIV tag for and actual AIDS diagnosis.
You were all too welcoming of solace when it was your crisis, huh?
We always got along well enough, Wes...but I'm not gonna let you sweepingly dismiss everyone from the Moderators on down as dysfunctional or as wallowing in self-pity. Not when it is evident that you (or I, really) haven't confronted a fraction of what this disease has to dish out as many others here have.
If you really don't like it that much, take your toys and go play at your house.

(Apologies, but worth the TO if I get one.)
Did anyone see J-Lo's butt in that picture?!?! I hope that was somehow enhanced digitally. That azz is sum scare shit ::) ::) ::).All natural baby. Years of feeding her rice and beans.
Interesting Thunter! You bring up my own personal crisis I was willing to share with everyone; yet, during that whole time YOU didn't offer a single comment or anything positive to me, not even an email! Boy, talk about support, peace and acceptance! Talk about hypocrisy!
Yes, that would have been while I was mostly off the boards helping my father try to recover from a series of surgeries.
Sorry I didn't prioritize you.
Well Wesley,
I reckon you have the best of both worlds now. You can share the love over at myspace and pop back in here whenever you feel the need for some high-octane drama.
Everybody wins!
Regards,
MtD
drama drama drama...as if HIV is not enough drama already. Why can't we all just chill out and get along!
