Your sarcasm is noted, but if you really wanted to be helpfull you would've reported the post instead of whining.

I don't see anyone called out by name, nor insulted in the OP. Nor do I see this putting anyone in an awkward position - the person in question made an open tffer to pray for anyone to get AIDS that volunteered.
It appears to me that the OP is taking an inventory of those who took the offer so we can monitor the progress of their infection.

Very well, opening the thread again, since I closed without quorum.

Does seem like calling out though. I don't think an explicit reference need be required -- the details make abundantly clear who the member in question is. Nor does it matter whether the member would object, nor that the content is an accurate representation of the member's other activities or words. And it appears implicit that the purpose of the thread is to mock that member and their views.
I would suggest if you want to take issue with a member's expressed views, you do so in the thread in which they were expressed.

Well, if someone wants to pray for me, he can do it all he wants. It's a free country and he can say what he wants.
If he's wishing death on me, then fuck him and I hope he realizes religious threats are meaningless.
BTW, just so everyone knows, I have epilepsy, not AIDS. It's not life threatening but boy can it fuck you up!

Well actually my brother died of epilepsy, specifically a form of epilepsy that gives you brain damage:

Sorry reading back that sounds pretty insensitive. I know first hand how crap being epileptic can be and I hope yours is ok.

Yep, and I'll be recusing myself from the vote on this one since I posted to the thread before the issue was raised.

Was that when you were defending mass slaughter, because it was god that ordered it or no?
