Disqus… NOT

Byjonathan

Disqus commenting broken

FINAL UPDATE 12/19/2013: 

I’ve opted to stop using Disqus and have started using a commenting plugin that allows users to login in with their Facebook or Twitter account.

UPDATED AGAIN  3/11/2012 @12:25 PM CST:

Looks like things are working again (fingers crossed).

UPDATED 3/7/2012 @4:48 PM CST:

Disqus support services cannot troubleshoot the problem as long as I have the plug-in disabled. That means comments will be disabled for a bit to give them a change to help me figure out what’s wrong.

Ooops. I just noticed that the Disqus commenting service is not working on my blog. I don’t know how long comments have been disabled. I’ve reported the problem to Disqus, and until they respond I’ve disabled the plug-in. In the meantime, comments will be handled the old-fashioned way, via WordPress’ comment system.

Apologies for the oversight, and thanks to my favorite stalker for making me aware of the problem.

Wait... there's more!

  • 97

    97. That’s my latest CD4+ count, less than half the count from six weeks ago.

    That’s it. I have tried as many alternative treatments as I can think of to reverse the decline. I will be starting my third round of pharmaceutical ARVs as soon as I can get a prescription and fill it.

    This decision has been a long time coming, and in hindsight, I probably should have restarted a few months ago. There’s nothing magical about 97, or being below 100, but it’s as good a breaking point as any. I’ve long argued that there are two things to keep in mind about CD4 counts: one is the long-term trend; the other is single- or low double-digit counts.

  • By any other name

    A whole year?! It’s hard to believe that it has been more than a year since I’ve written anything on my blog. I don’t even know how to begin to catch up. I blame Facebook, mostly. I’ve been addicted to the lightning-fast pace of information exchange there, and I’ve written hundreds, maybe even thousands of posts and…

  • Reduce AIDS drug toxicity and side effects

    I embarked on my third course of ARVs since 1998. For ten of the sixteen years I have been HIV-positive, I was able to manage well enough without ARVs and I continue to believe there is no reason for otherwise healthy HIV-positive—let alone negative—gay men to take these drugs. To those who want to wave a recent study about the benefits of early intervention in my face, I would ask them why they put so much faith in a science that has utterly failed us to date.

  • The truth about Truvada: PrEP won’t stop AIDS

    I’m willing to grant that gay men are entitled to use PrEP… provided they have access to all the information they need to make an informed decision. Informed consent has been a hallmark of the HIV and AIDS research and prevention efforts for three decades, and that shouldn’t be waived for the campaign favoring PrEP.

    Gay men deserve to know that all the claims for Truvada reducing the risk of acquiring HIV-positivity  are based on trials—funded by Gilead—that emphasized the importance of using condoms…

  1. We noticed that you have Cloudflare on your site — do you use Rocket Loader by chance? This has historically given third party scripts (like ours) trouble. Let us know!

      1. Cloudflare is a free content distribution management system (CDM), which is supposed to speed up website performance by caching content on multiple servers across the Internet. It also supposedly offers other features to improve security.  You can read more at their website:  cloudflare.com.  Rocket Loader is one of their apps.

        My personal experience with cloudflare has been mixed, but generally more positive than negative… kinda’ like disqus.  🙂
