I can not see a rationale in your reply to me for sanctioning Dena for what she posted above concerning the writings of Luther and Calvin.
Here is a link to your reply to me in question
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20081228/msgs/871321.html
In the reply, what could be relevant to me there is:
A.that there are guidlines for party leaders
B.because Mr. Hsiung did not want those that support those leaders to feel accused or put down.
My request has been for you to post your rationale(s) here that you used to sanction Dena for what she posted concerning the writings of Luther and Calvin in the 1500s, in that you write now, I guess, that what Dena posted could lead {followers} of Luther and Calvin to feel accused or put down.
I think that if you are talking for yourself a judgment could be made, and that to make a judgment about what others could read that could lead them to feel accused or put down could be determined by asking them if when they read such if they feel that way and why they do and giving the criteria that they use to say such. Have you asked any Christians if they feel put down when they read the writings of Luther or Calvin that are the subject of what Dena posted? Are you aware that the writings of Luther concerning Jews have been repudiated by the Lutheran Church about 50 years ago?
I do not know any Christians that feel accused or put down when they read such or support what they purport. Does anyone, including you, here know of any that do?
I am requesting that you post here those guidlines that are for party leaders that you mentioned and then I could have the opportunity to see if they do or do not apply to this situation and respond accordingly.
