Tara at Aetiology posted a video interview with John Moore and Jeanne Bergman, two founders of the AIDSTruth website.
Of course, in roll the Deniers. These threads typically go on for 300-600 posts with all the Denier goal-post moving. Have fun playing with them :)
The Denier swarm probably wont move over here though (my black magic frightens them), so you all are more than welcome to leave questions here!

So is this spot more like a refueling depot, a barracks (for recruiting, obviously!) or a bunker?
As a hardcore RTS nerd, I must know!
Wow. What a cesspool. I'm going to stay over here, where the denialists aren't :)
(When I visited Tara's post there were only a couple comments, so I had no clue how it would end up.)
Yeah, going by the comments on the blog you'd think all I post on is HIV/AIDS, when it's actually only a few posts a month, but each post just accumulates comments then for weeks. (and weeks and weeks and weeks....)
Jesus Christ, I read through the comments, and you people ain't kiddin'! I haven't seen such a garbage heap of logical fallacy and conspiracy paranoia since...the last time Tara posted on the topic!
I think my own pet phrase was spot on, there really is a "War on Tara" going on in the minds of the deniers.
Holy shit, some guy compared himself to Tom Paine in that thread. That's a new one.
(I know it's probably annoying to give a play by play, but I just had to note that. It's new!)
Tyler-- Its insane, I know. But theyre just parrots-- learn their lines and its like a horrible, horrible video game, shooting them down. Eh its the same damn 'game' with Creationists, you know how to 'play'.
They dont know how to address the stuff I do, so they keep away, I guess. So this is more like a force-field enclosed star cruiser :P
Tara-- Its like they just sit around, WAITING for a post to descend upon. I hope theyre at least learning something from your other posts while theyre there. Arg.

The resemblance is uncanny.
Did you catch Maniotis inventing a quote from a paper?
False quote
Actual source
According to his Denialist friends it's OK to invent quotes if they have truthiness.
I expect this from the more scientifically illiterate Denialists but Maniotis has a PhD and worked under Judah Folkman. You have to wonder what caused the mental meltdown.
Chris-- I know what it is. Maniotis has been eating denatured foods.
:P

I have sympathy for Noreen. None for Maniotis.
