You are correct: the phrase "trust me" is trite and ridiculous (especially in an online forum). My apologies.

But don't expect that all members of the Iowa City HIV community hold Donald up as a model person of HIV or within the gay community. If anything, his status is yet even more fuel for his seemingly pathological state of self-importance and knowing what is “best” for our community and (I postulate) the world at large.

I suppose we can only agree to disagree on this point.

I know Mr. Baxter as well, and what you're trying to do here is shameful. Typing out “Trust me” isn't going to make me, knowing full well that Donald is very active in his community, an advocate for both the biking community as well as the HIV+ community.

This is nothing more than a deep-seeded hatred, probably for yourself (If you are indeed positive as you claim) since no one after meeting this man would make such accusations. Shame on you.

One of the best Independent articles I've read yet.

I know Mr. Baxter. Trust me: he could benefit from YEARS of anger management classes. I am HIV positive and would never hold him out as a palatable (nor compassionate) advocate for people with HIV. I am embarrassed that he is representing the HIV community at all.

I can assure you, there’s nothing wrong with my ideology.

I’m just using your own logic on you, as in, if you can’t publish your last name, or meet me face to face, what are you really concealing apart from your name?

I think you’re really protecting your ideology rather than yourself.
