Censorship from where you thought you would least expect it!
I belong to a Gay pron site called BadPuppy.com, It has a members forum. Someone posted that it's bullshit that we are blaming Reagan for the start of the AIDS epidemic & that We as Gay men have no one to blame but ourselves! Of course I had to go in there & give my two cents on the subject. And it turned into a flame fest. I just received a call from the owner (Ben)of badpuppy, and was told If I make one more post in the forums my Account will be canceled! I will be canceling my account with this place for the reasons stated above. I cannot believe the Reagan love fest of all places a gay porn site!

I know most of you here would not be going to a gay porn site, I just wanted you to know that there are injustices everywhere.

P.S. if you would like to make a comment to this asshole here is his e-mail address. Ben@badpuppy.com

1. how can you blame Reagan for the start of AIDS?
He ignored it but he didn't start it. Maybe you just worded your argument poorly and the argument escalated? Maybe your opinion was not the problem.

In any case, a porn site is not the best place to have a political discussion. Find a smarter bunch of gay men to communicate with.

2. I stand corrected .
What i meant to say was Reagan's in actions & the Governments inactions helped the epidemic escalate.

3. Well, a site like that has one thing as its top priority...
...and that's ensuring renewed memberships and revenue stream. Anything that threatens that isn't likely to be tolerated...
