Do you know the sexual history of every partner you have had? Have you seen a recent full spectrum STI test from them? Do you believe that they are always fully honest in what they tell you? If not, you should be, at the least, slightly suspicious.

I am not disrespecting your personal decisions, as they have nothing to do with me. But when you do post your thoughts in a public forum, expect a response, be it positive or negative. If you make a post, and I do disagree, I will comment. You will find that we never "toe the party line", and will always say what we believe. There are always a number of sides to any discussion, and everyone should have a say. I have changed positions on subjects based on what I have read, and checked, in message forums. I keep an open mind, and although I can be opinionated, I can also change my mind if shown the way.

You are absolutely right to post an opposing opinion here in this thread. We have no arguement with that. Our original point was that it is not appropriate in some threads where it is not solicited. That was all we were trying to say. We're sorry it wasn't clearer and so many people were confused. It was obvously our fault for not being more specific.
