Having said that, the only reason that the AIDS infected needles discussion reached a nadir was because of you and some of your friends who missed the fact that I had not defended the original hoax once it had been debunked by George Pinto, and you all began spreading a hoax of your own, which was that I was defending the original hoax. All I was defending was the suggestion that people should watch their behinds in public places, and you could not see the difference between this suggestion and the original hoax on which it was initially based.
