    I agree that there are a lot of irresponsible people out there. There is no
    question about that. However, the original claim I was refuting was that
    gay rights activists claimed the "right" to deliberately infect someone with
    AIDS without telling them. I think this was hyperbole. I never questioned
    that this happens, probably a lot. I question whether this is an official
    part of any gay rights agenda.
