Yet even so, I never came so near to returning to the Mormon church than during the campaign of Mitt Romney and all the disrespectful jokes about magic underwear. And I always speak up in church when I hear anything insensitive about Judaism. In fact, I'm looking into the Noahide covenant and am rather excited about it.

It is written here,[...the fact that (Mr. Hsiung)...has a policy against sanctioning posts that are archived...]
Let us look at this post where Mr. Hsiung reversed himself and agreed with me. There was that post as follows that was posted in that thread in the archives. Any statement by Mr. Hsiung to allow readers to see that what is in question is against the rules here is all I ask from him. So Mr . Hsiung does not have a policy that he will not revisit a post in the archives at all. In fact, there was one by {fuzzymind} that I remember where Mr Hsiung actually posted a sanction many days after it was first posted.
