I wonder if you realised that Dean Esmay (apparent inventor of the "Taqiyya Libel") is also an AIDS dissident? Just seemed like a strange coincidence. Trezatium 21:57, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Not quite sure I understand the point of the mocking tone of your change comments. Be more factual in future. Mikejstevenson 20:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I saw your post in the scientific review section of AIDS denialism and recognized you as someone well-versed in the subject. I have been (unfortunately) candid about the fact that I am an AIDS dissident on the discussion page of AIDS denialism. I noticed that that entry now is now under the heading of Wikipedia: WikiProject Alternative Views, a project invoking Aristarchus' heliocentrism in its image! This project seems to be all about according at least a minimal amount of respect to significant alternative views. Am I crazy to think that denialism can be turned to dissident on Wiki? Or merely hopefully deluded by the overweening rhetoric on the project's Motivation section? Perhaps I took the wrong tone from time to time in the discussion section of the denialism page, but it does have a distinctly unfriendly atmosphere and I was reacting to that. I have evidence that The Guardian uses the word dissident more than any other term, including denialist or "dissident" in quotes or preceded by "so-called". This I posted on my own talk page. Is it a waste of my time to try and use an unbiased term that isn't an intentional pejorative ("denialist"), even in light of this WikiProject? Haytham2 ( talk) 10:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
