Just for the record, I tend to not do insults, so "New to the board" was not meant to be at all insulting. Some people have been here for years, some for many years, some for a year some for a few months. But everyone at one time was "new to the board" and I don't know why that would be considered an insult.
There was a debate on this site years ago regarding this exact topic and it included myths about when Reagan first used the word AIDS in public, and how he treated Rock Hudson and I even remember posting the increase in AIDS funding under Reagan (I think it was over 1,000%) and quoting a letter from Hudson's partner at the time of his death praising the Reagans for their comforting words to him and to Hudson. It was basically "The Facts" v. "What Larry Kramer says" and "The Facts" fell on deaf ears. There were even people who criticized Reagan for not bringing up AIDS when it was not even called AIDS, it was called a "mysterious new cancer". But Reagan was supposed to have addressed it!
And, as I usually try to do, I cited my sources so people could check for themselves. But those facts got the same basic reaction that any facts here get when they go against the liberal mindset ---
PISH! (In addition to a SLEW of personal attacks against me.)
(BTW, despite what others may say, I have never had any other account here or name other than Mikey.)
