Dave,
Keith, I simply would not call anyone I was on "good and friendly terms" with a pervert.

Very sneaky and underhand of you to reverse the case.
As you well know, what I put to you was,

"Would you remain on good and friendly terms with someone who was a pervert by your definition?"

Would you?
Of course not, and nor would Ake.

His statements about promiscuity and infection rates are factual.
He does not denigrate anyone for being gay.
Leave him alone.
