Yes, let's answer the obvious. I have HIV.
I've also been attacked here at XPT. Thankfully, my self-worth has nothing to do with what an anonymous online person thinks of me - whether good or bad.

Kurt - I was neutral on you for quite some time. However, I can't imagine why you being my friend would be on my priority list one way or the other.

Being attacked initially is a rite of passage on XPT; proving that you either have or don't have thick enough skin to make it as a valued member of the community. With Tricia, she goes beyond that mere fact and adds something to virtually every thread she joins (unlike some here). I credit Tricia with making ADT a success since it was her early participation that brought the others along.

Tricia, you make a point that he can't understand even as he pays lip service to it. Most people accept that the meat puppet is way down the list of things people buy movies to see. Having surrounded himself with a number of "kool aid kronies" that cater to his personality, we demands worship or gets bent out of shape. I know of no other guy in porn as publicly driven by this type of mentality and I've been around the block a long time. You gave him the benefit of the doubt and he proved wanting, no surprise there, and the fact that you are currently one of the most successful people in porn must drive him crazy.
