Dr. Hsiung,
I am asking you to address the poem in relation to your rule that involves a post being supportive.
I think that the statement in the poem , [...the God of the old testament ...is vengeful...needs to be reevaluated as {not-so-divine}...]could be considered [...{not supportive}...].
I am asking you to consider writing a line in the thread to indicate that that statement is not supportive on a mentasl-health forum. I am not asking you to expell the poster.
Also, another suggestion that I am asking you to consider is to delete only the lines in the poem that I think have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings, and if you delete just the line in question here, that could be suffitiant to quell anyone's ideas about the God of the jews being involved in the poem. But I feel that as long as the statement in the poem that the [...old testament God...needs to be reevaluated as not-so-divine...]is seen, that the jews could be thought as the ones that are being the one's involved in the other statements, so that if that line is removed, the potential for the poem to arrouse antisemitic feelings could be greatly removed.
