Thread Name: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
Subject: RE: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
I see no advantage to this discussion in adding "personal value judgements" or (somewhat) offensive words about another persons lifestyle or sexual preference.


If you openly share them (especially in an agressive manner), IMO, it tends to taint the effectiveness of in having your posts (which, may include useful information on the topic) taken seriously and without prejudice. Additionally, sharing them also opens up to comments of those with the different values-viewpoints. All and all, IMO, they just tend to "get in the way", and limits and skews logical and civil discussion on the OP topic.
