not the best place to post this...
I tried to start a thread but it didn't let me.
I learned from a chat group that a group of conservative activists is posting to UG and other boards in a way that attempts to scare hobbiers about STDs. Their plan is to post questions about getting STDs from casual encounters, to make people afraid and fill the archives with warnings and stuff to put people off (they reported how they had been very busy creating accounts and posting, and that it was working well). They were boasting about how "persisting posts create a history of fear that deters future participants in these disgusting activities". In other words, by getting these things peppered throughout the boards, they will last forever and scare people away from hobbying.
I just took a look at UG and sure enough, almost every thread I checked (NY, NJ, DC) has someone stepping in and claiming to have gotten an STD or asking questions or talking about feeling guilty etc ALL SINCE DECEMBER 2003. Check it out yourself (I didn't do any real counting).
Just a warning. Maybe true, maybe not.
