Sure, why not? I welcome members of those groups if they're interested in peer support (and if they follow the guidelines). Hating doesn't have to mean being hated.

You wrote, [...I am open to addressing the 2end part...].
The second part concerns what is known as theological anti-Semitism, or sometimes called anti-Judaism and characterizes the Jews in relation to insulting the God that the Jews give service and worship to by characterizing that God as a liar and not to be trusted. This could lead Jewish readers and others to feel put down and suffer humiliation and ridicule if it is allowed to be seen as supportive by you. And posts that are unsanctioned are said to be supportive by you and will be good for this community as a whole.
The statement as it is could lead IMHO a subset of readers to think that by you not addressing it that you are intentionally developing and validating the insult to that God which IMHO could reinforce hateful notions about Jews and allow a distorted presentation of Judaism to be seen as conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and lay the groundwork for hatred toward the Jews to be developed here. And there is the possibility that readers here could see the statement as socially acceptable so that in their real life a foundation for real world hate and violence toward Jews could be fostered here. For if the statement is allowed to stand, more postings of the same nature about how Jews are characterized and more insults of the God in question could proliferate as posters could see that the statement could be thought to be ratified by you and your deputies of record then.
The statement as I contend, does not rest on what you want readers to think about what is in the book called, "Job" as to if what you posted is what you think after reading it or if you are using someone else's interpretation of the meaning of the book. The book has various interpretations, but so does the book called "Jonah". And so does the book called "Noah". And the scriptures that the Jews use do show that the God in those scriptures does choose particular people for a particular purpose. And because Jonah was in the belly of a great fish for three days and three nights, and we see that there has not been another person swallowed by a great fish, or another person to build an ark to save humanity as the animals from the Great Deluge, or another father to be told by God to take his son and kill him to be tested to this God, the study of those scriptures could give a different perspective from the one that you want to propose here concerning Job. For those scriptures show a progressive revelation and it is even written that this God said that He would never destroy the Earth by flood again. And when we read about Jesus of Nazareth, we see what happened once and for all time. And it is written, [...it pleased the Lord to bruise Him...]. And as Jonah suffered three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so did The Anointed One suffer for three days and three nights in The Heart of The Earth. And yet this same Jesus said, [..."Take up your cross and follow me"...]. Are Christians today to be under the same statement that I am objecting to here in that they have imposed into them a treacherous form of slavery by the same God?
The aspect of the statement in question as being used in theological anti-Semitism goes back to around 300 CE by those in Egypt that persecuted the Jews then. Almost the exact same line as the statement in question was used in a campaign to discredit the Jews and distort the meaning of Judaism to legitimize hatred toward the Jews then.
I contend that the statement in question is inconsistent with the forum's purpose, which is for support and to not post what could put down those of other faiths. You have posted that regardless of even if there is some truth to something, or even if the bible says it, being supportive takes precedent and if something is not supportive, not to post it. And worse than that, the book called Job is a book that revelation to the readers can come from. And remarkable, what I have been attempting to show here, that is prohibited by me to post due to your prohibitions posted to me here, is the revelation parallel to Job, in particular concerning what I have been attempting to post about The Great Gulf and The Great Deception.
If you are going to leave the statement to lead people that it is supportive, then let us go to the next post that I object to you leaving it unsanctioned to have the potential to be seen as supportive by a subset of readers.

> BobMr Hsiung,
You wrote,[...to me it (seemingly) implies "not actually"...].
The word "seemingly" could mean for all intents and purposes. In your thinking, the meaning of "seemingly" could be understood as "not actually" under a specific literary use when an impossibility is what is "seemingly". For instance, suppose one was watching the Olympics on television and the high-jump was what people were watching. And one high-jumper broke the record. Then the commentator said, "He seemingly could jump to the moon." That is an impossibility.
But that is not the usage in the post in question, for what is "seemingly" is not an impossibility. The author of the post is commenting on me as a Jew because the author associates the commandments in the scriptures that the Jews use and also associates my work here to save lives and free those captive to mind-altering drugs that they take in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor. The author uses the term, "saving souls" and what a "soul" is, is not defined by the author. The word "soul" has a particular biblical meaning that those ignorant of Judaism could be mislead about without the word being defined here by the author. But whatever the author had in mind, he/she says that it is {Lou's burden}. Then the author connects that with {a treacherous form of slavery imposed by God Himself}. That could be seen by a subset of readers as an observation, but the conclusion is jumped to because it is a false statement that I have a burden and lead readers to think of the God that the Jews give service and worship to is a liar and can not be trusted. That could lead a subset of readers to feel put down when they read such as it is an insult to the God that the Jews, and others, give service and worship to. It is not an impossibility for one to post an insult to a person or the God that they give service and worship to. Your rule is to not post anything that could lead one to feel put down or accused or jump to a conclusion about someone. I see no immunity here to allow what a subset of Jewish readers could feel as being ridiculed for being a Jew and feel put down when they read the statement in question, be it with or without the word, "seemingly", which in this context could mean for all intents and purposes.
You also wrote,[...you have a point there...].
It is plainly visible that by the author using the word, "imposed" by God, there is more to this as he/she is using a form of ancient anti-Semitism sometimes called anti-Judaism or theological anti-Semitism. This was the first tactic used historically to foster anti-Semitic feelings in the historical record, around 300BCE. It was used by those in Egypt then by promulgating that when Moses gave the commandments that he received from God to the Israelites and then the Jews later became a religion 1000 years after the Exodus, the anti-Semitism that was spread to arouse hatred toward the Jews said that the Jews had a inferior life because that they kept the commandments. That became later as "slaves" to the Law of god that the Jews obeyed. That later became, "slaves" in the 17th century and even applied to other faiths that are Abrahamic. The concept of ridiculing those that keep the commandments is also the basis for much more in the history of anti-Semitism that I am prevented from posting here due to the prohibitions posted here by you to me.
But be it as it may be, you say that I have a point that you see. And others could see it also. And it is what can be seen that is what can lead someone to feel put down. I do not want a Jewish child that finds their way here via a search and is in depression and sees the statement standing so that the child could think that you are validating the insult to the God that the child gives service and worship to that the child could understand as the word "seemingly" could be seen as "for all intents and purposes", not what you think it could mean. Then there is the potential for that child to commit suicide by going deeper into depression after they read that a psychiatrist that says not to post anything that could lead one to feel put down and that a statement not sanctioned is not against his rules, could think that the psychiatrist is ratifying the insult to that God which could destroy the faith in God of that child resulting in suicide.
I say to you that as long as you leave the statement outstanding, there could be more of a chance for that type of situation to happen. You say that you take responsibility for what you post here, so if you want to leave the statement unsanctioned on the basis that you think that the word "seemingly" could immunize you from responsibility of the hypothetical child's suicide, then so be it and let us go on to the post in the link that I had just offered to you here and I will have clean hands in any deaths resulting from you allowing the statement to stand, for I have attempted stop you from fostering anti-Semitism here by allowing anti-Semitic statement to stand, which put down Jews.

> BobMr. Hsiung,' The idea of posting a repudiation is to post what could show that the statement in question is nit conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and is not in accordance with your rule that says that. In this case, your rule to not post what could put down those of other faiths comes into play.
Your repudiation is one that reasonably shows that.
The aspect of that the poster libels me in respect to the use of the phrase, {Lou's burden} is also involved in another one of your rules, to not jump to a conclusion about someone. The statement is false, for I do not consider keeping the commandments of God to be a burden and the statement outs me and Jews and those that keep the commandments in a false light as being enslaved by the commandments as the poster writes,[...a treacherous form of slavery imposed by God himself..].
I think that if you leave the statement to stand, that a subset of readers could think that you are validating the libel against me, so I am asking that you include that the statement about me is also not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and also not inaccordance with your rule to not jump to a conclusion about someone.
Here is my way of posting a repudiation of both:
[...Please do not post what could put down those of other faiths or jump to a conclusion about someone. A subset of readers could see what you posted as jumping to a conclusion about Lou as having a burden in worshipping the God in question and that the use of "treacherous" could be an insult to the God in question...] Bob
But be it as it may be, you could choose your own posting of a repudiation and I would like to go to the next post that puts down Jews and can foster anti-Semitism as in the two bible passages that have anti-Semitic statements as in John 5 and Matthew 27. There is also the post in the link that I offered here recently for you to choose from.

You wrote that the idea of the faith board is to be supportive of religious faith.
But it is much more than that. For your rules for the faith board state:
[...please do not pressure others to adopt your beliefs or put them down for having theirs...].
Hatred toward the Jews and others can be fostered here by you and your deputies of record simply by not following your own rules in relation to Judaism that can foster anti-Semitic feelings and also foster anti-Judaism that a subset of readers could think by the nature that you state that unsanctioned posts could mean that what is in the posts are not against your rules and then they are supportive because you also state that being supportive takes precedence.
Now let us look at this post that I am asking that you post a repudiation to:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20130903/msgs/1055904.html
There we have what could be thought by a subset of readers as me being pressured by the poster to adopt another faith. And also a subset of readers could think that Judaism is being put down, and that I am being put down for being a Jew, as Judaism is unable to grant a Jew to be saved, for the poster states to save myself first by converting to Christianity.
And it is much worse than that IMHHHHO. For you see, a subset of readers could think that the poster is in concert with your to defame Judaism and foster hatred toward the Jews here by allowing anti-Semitic statements to be fostered here, as being supportive because they are unsanctioned. And the subject line reads....Convert-Lou Pilder. And even more, I am prevented from responding to the poster in the manner that I need because of the prohibitions posted here to me by you.
I am asking that you post a repudiation to the post in question here.

> BobMr. Hsiung,
The aspect of that you want me to post a repudiation to the first part is something that I do not think is my responsibility to do. And your rules could cover that it is you or your deputies that have the function of repudiating a statement that could put down or accuse another or jump to a conclusion about someone. You state that your procedure to follow is to use your notification procedure to point out statements that put down and/or accuse another. But then you state here that you will honor your policy but you give yourself the option of not honoring your policy when it comes to posts by me that are requests, which could be notifications, so that in your posting, it may be good for others to see that you do not have to respond to me. I do not think that by you saying that you will honor your own policy to others, but give yourself the option to honor your own policy in regards to my requests to you, any immunity from following your own rules in regards to the statement here that libels me as a knowingly false statement that decreasing the respect and regard and confidence in which I am held and could induce hostile and disagreeable opinions and feelings against me as being what could be seen by a subset of readers as being ridiculed for being a Jew here. That type of statement goes beyond the intent of the forum's purpose and could encourage third-party postings for further anti-Semitic statements to be posted.
The fact that you are unwilling to post a repudiation to the statement against me here could enable and encourage others to post hatred toward me and other statements that could arouse anti-Semitic feeling and foster anti-Semitism here. The fact that you sanction other statements that put down other members shows that it is possible for a subset of readers to think that you are not neutral in respect to sanctioning anti-Semitism so that a subset of readers IMHO could think that you are being oppressive or malicious in respect to your moderating of this site in respect to libelous statements where I am the subject person or Jews are the subject people. If others could see your conduct as not neutral, they could think that you are ratifying the libel and/or anti-Semitism which if I was to post my own repudiation, could not annul the fact that you are leaving the statement to stand, thus creating a further contributing of the objectionable content as a subset of readers could think that you and your deputies of record are validating the hate.
You want to go on and so do I because as long as these statements that put down Jews can be seen as being validated by you and your deputies of record because they remain unsanctioned, there could be IMHO deaths and murders in diverse places because this site goes to many jurisdictions. And the humiliation that can be seen in these posts in question to the Jews and others, could cause depression in regards to a subset of Jewish children could think that you and your deputies of record, and the members that could be seen as being in concert with you to allow ridicule and debasement and stereotyping of Jews and me as a Jew here, to be what will be good for this community as a whole by you, for you say that readers are to try to trust you in that you are doing what will be good for this community as a whole. I do not thinks that you allowing hatred toward the Jews to stand here to be what could be good for this community as a whole and I consider it your responsibility to post a repudiation to all anti-Semitism that can be seen here that you have allowed, not me, so I consider it your responsibility to undo it.
But if you do not want to repudiate both parts, then go ahead and post what you want. Then we could go on with the offered links here concerning anti-Semitic statements being allowed to stand by you and your deputies of record and statements that libel me and put me down that as a Jew can be seen as a disregard for your rules to not put down someone.

I see what you're saying, but IMO that wasn't pressure to adopt another faith or a put-down of Judaism. For one thing, Christian people may also convert to Judaism just as, or even more, frequently.

You wrote,[...IMO that wasn't {pressure} to {adapt}another faith or a {put down} of Judaism...]. (emphasis mine)
Your rule is to not post anything that could put down or accuse another or overgeneralize of jump to a conclusion about another ...and in matters of faith that means to not pressure another to adopt a different faith or put them down for having theirs...].
Now you say that it is{ your opinion} as to if something puts down or pressures.

> Lou PilderMr Hsiung,
Your past practice here clarifies what one can post as if it is supportive or not, or if it puts down or not or pressures or not.
One of the aspects that define this that readers could see states by you:
[...To say that one belief should be embraced is to say that others should not which puts down those of other beliefs...].
Now the statement in question states that I as a Jew should convert to Christianity in order to save myself. Now the poster does not state what {save} means, but it is generally accepted that when others attempt to convert another to another faith, usually theirs, as used in this case, it is The Wrath of God that is what readers could think that the person should be saved from. This generally is what Christians that attempt to convert others to Christianity use to lead the ones being attempted to be converted to think that they will suffer excruciating torment in flames for all eternity in what they call "hell" if they remain Jews and do not convert to Christianity. This is a generally accepted meaning of what {pressure} means in relation to pressure others to adopt Christianity, for the implication could mean that if you do not convert to Christianity, you could go to hell.
You also state that telling others what to do is not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare here because telling others what to do is different from telling others what to believe. Here in this case, I as a Jew am being told what to do, to convert to Christianity, so that I could save myself first.
You also state that making statements like the one in question could be determined as to if it is OK to post it on the basis of determining if it is {necessary} to post it. Is it necessary to post to me to as a Jew convert to Christianity to save myself first?
You also state here that it is fine to post what you believe-as long as you don't put down other beliefs. The concept that I as a Jew am being told to first convert to Christianity to save myself first, is contrasting Judaism as a religion that can not save Jews with a religion that one could be saved as converting to so that what can be seen is that Judaism is {inferior} to Christianity because Judaism can not save but Christianity can. This is one of the generally accepted meanings of what {put down} means.
The aspect that you are allowing the statement to be seen as supportive and will be good for this community as a whole could lead a subset of readers such as Jewish children to feel put down, insulted, humiliated with no hope of being with God in Paradise, but to be consigned to hell because they are Jews and have not converted to Christianity to save themselves first as the poster writes here. This could lead those readers that come here via a search in depression to go further into depression and commit suicide as they could think that you are saying that the statement will be good for this community as a whole and I supportive because it is unsanctioned.
You say that you take responsibility for what you post, and by you rejecting this opportunity to post a repudiation of what puts down Jews and others that do not convert to Christianity first to be saved, readers could think that you could be using your power to foster anti-Semitism here for you do have a choice to post a repudiation or not, for your rules state not to post anything that could lead one to feel put down. I feel put down, and if you want to say that I should not feel put down, then go ahead and post that here. But when you do it to me, you do it to the other Jews that feel put down when they read what you are allowing as not against your rules to post here.

White people always want to know what I'm doing travelling with "injuns". I don't take it personally.

I believe that you could be an very effective leader if you could see a way to stop posting about being jewish and take the time to offer support to other posters.

> and then here is a post saying not to pressure or put down: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20020918/msgs/7724.htmlMr. Hsiung,
Your forum is meant to be supportive of all faiths. In the post in question, the implication in the statement is that Judaism is not a religion that could lead to one being saved and that Christianity is. This is all because the statement can be seen by a subset of readers as putting down Judaism as a faith that is inferior to Christianity because the statement implies that I as a Jew need to convert to Christianity to be saved. And that is a jump to a conclusion to say, in any form of implication, that as a Jew I am not saved and need to convert to Christianity to be saved.
Your past practice here defines what puts down, be it in your TOS under "civil" as to matters of faith or other matters. One such post is,[ faith, 766183].
Here in another post the past practice is that when someone tells another what to do, that could be putting down that person. Now it is what the person is telling the other to do that is relevant in any determination as to if the statement constitutes {putting down} the other person. In the aspect of what the person is told to do is IMHO analogous to that the poster in question in this post,[ admin, 4418 ], says to do. The analogous concept is that in 4418, the poster is told to change his/her behavior to a different behavior as one being more mature. But what if the person likes being immature? And your deputy did sanction the statement as {putting down} the other person and rightfully so, for people telling others to change can be a put down. And in the post in question, I as a Jew am being told to change my belief in Judaism to the belief in Christianity and convert to Christianity so that I can save myself first. I feel put down when I read that.
Then there is the concept of being sensitive to the feelings of others as exemplified in,[faith,799315 ], and not put down the beliefs of others in [ faith, 690854 ].
Now be it as it may be, if you are going to allow the statement to stand, a subset of readers IMHO could think that you are using your power to contribute and intentionally develop anti-Semitic feelings here by allowing others to think that you are saying that the statement is supportive and will be good for this community as a whole by the nature that you say that posts unsanctioned have statements in them that are not against your rules. This could enable and encourage IMHO others to post analogous statements that could lead a subset of Jewish readers to feel put down which distorts the intent of the forum to not post {anything that could lead} another reader to feel put down or accused or jump to a conclusion about someone.
And worse, IMHO a subset of readers could think that you are validating that Jews are not saved unless they convert to Christianity. I base that on the fact that what can be seen in the statement for me to convert, could lead a subset of readers ignorant of Judaism to accept the statement as fact. It is a false statement that Jews are not saved unless they convert to Christianity and defames Judaism itself if it is allowed to be considered conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of this community and supportive. The concept of how one is saved is not defined by the poster. And worse, your prohibitions posted to me here prevent me from posting what could vindicate the Jews to show that they do not have to convert to Christianity to save themselves. That fact alone could lead a subset of readers to think that you are not neutral in regards to this issue, and that you are ratifying and adopting the statement as fact which could encourage further statements that could lead a Jew to feel put down, which are anti-Semitic statements, and statements that could induce hostile and disagreeable feelings and opinions of me which could result IMHO oppression and malice toward me and other Jews.
But if that is what you want, let us go to the next statement that I want a repudiation by you posted to. In this post, a subset of readers could think that you consider the statement to be accurate that puts down Jews, as that the statement could be thought that Christianity has grace and truth but Judaism does not, because grace and truth {came by} Jesus Christ. I am prevented from posting a repudiation due to the prohibitions that you have posted to me here which could lead a subset of readers to think that you are preventing me to do so that could have a subset of readers think that it constitutes malice toward me as a Jew here

I am prevented from posting a repudiation due to the prohibitions that you have posted to me here which could lead a subset of readers to think that you are preventing me to do so that could have a subset of readers think that it constitutes malice toward me as a Jew here

> Lou PIlderMr. Hsiung,
One aspect here is that a subset of readers could think that you are intentionally developing and/or contributing to fostering hatred toward the Jews by the nature that readers could see statements that put down Jews, which are anti-Semitic statements, in posts that are unsanctioned. This is because you state that in an unsanctioned post, the statements are not against your rules.
In that you add your own comments that could lead a subset of readers to think that you are ratifying statements that put down Jews, that could lead a subset of readers IMHO to be encouraged to post anti-Semitic statements which is something that could seriously mislead a subset of readers that could culminate in deaths by the nature that when anti-Semitism can be thought to be validated by the owner of a site, some readers could have hatred toward the Jews induced into them. This hatred I have posted about and you posted that you do not disagree with what I posted about hate, yet today statements that could induce hatred into some readers by the nature that they could think that anti-Semitic statements unsanctioned could mean that you and your deputies of record then are ratifying what those statements could purport. Then it is conceivable that a subset of readers could think that you are designing your site to be a portal for anti-Semitic expression since there are anti-Semitic statements that are not repudiated by you or your deputies of record then.
Here is another post that I am asking for you to post what could repudiate that you and your deputies then let stand. The statements about the Jews in the post I can not see any justification for you and your deputies then to have allowed to stand. I am asking that you post a repudiation of the statements about Jews in the post to show that they are not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and are not in accordance with your rule to not post what could put down those of other faiths.
Here is the post.

You also state here that you do not substitute your feelings for someone else's feelings in matters of feeling put down when they read something here.

But it is much more than that. For if you are deviating in this case from your past practice, a subset of readers could think that you are attempting to accommodate the statements in question here as being conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and supportive, which could also lead a subset of readers to think that you are in concert with the poster to allow what those readers could think what is not supportive and pressures a Jew to convert to Christianity in order to be saved. That could lead to a subset of Jews feeling put down and insulted on the basis that those readers could think that you are allowing the statement in question that says that Jews are not saved and need to convert to Christianity to be saved. This could then lead a subset of readers to think that you are attempting to foster anti-Semitism here by not sanctioning what could be seen by a subset of readers as Jews being put down and pressured to adopt the Christian perspective because you state that posts not sanctioned have what is in them statements that are not against your rules.

Now the poster does not state what {save} means, but it is generally accepted that when others attempt to convert another to another faith, usually theirs, as used in this case, it is The Wrath of God that is what readers could think that the person should be saved from. This generally is what Christians that attempt to convert others to Christianity use to lead the ones being attempted to be converted to think that they will suffer excruciating torment in flames for all eternity in what they call "hell" if they remain Jews and do not convert to Christianity. This is a generally accepted meaning of what {pressure} means in relation to pressure others to adopt Christianity, for the implication could mean that if you do not convert to Christianity, you could go to hell.

The concept that I as a Jew am being told to first convert to Christianity to save myself first, is contrasting Judaism as a religion that can not save Jews with a religion that one could be saved as converting to so that what can be seen is that Judaism is {inferior} to Christianity because Judaism can not save but Christianity can. This is one of the generally accepted meanings of what {put down} means.

This could lead those readers that come here via a search in depression to go further into depression and commit suicide as they could think that you are saying that the statement will be good for this community as a whole and I supportive because it is unsanctioned.

I feel put down, and if you want to say that I should not feel put down, then go ahead and post that here. But when you do it to me, you do it to the other Jews that feel put down when they read what you are allowing as not against your rules to post here.

In the post in question, the implication in the statement is that Judaism is not a religion that could lead to one being saved and that Christianity is. This is all because the statement can be seen by a subset of readers as putting down Judaism as a faith that is inferior to Christianity because the statement implies that I as a Jew need to convert to Christianity to be saved. And that is a jump to a conclusion to say, in any form of implication, that as a Jew I am not saved and need to convert to Christianity to be saved.

Now it is what the person is telling the other to do that is relevant in any determination as to if the statement constitutes {putting down} the other person. In the aspect of what the person is told to do is IMHO analogous to that the poster in question in this post,[ admin, 4418 ], says to do. The analogous concept is that in 4418, the poster is told to change his/her behavior to a different behavior as one being more mature. But what if the person likes being immature? And your deputy did sanction the statement as {putting down} the other person and rightfully so, for people telling others to change can be a put down. And in the post in question, I as a Jew am being told to change my belief in Judaism to the belief in Christianity and convert to Christianity so that I can save myself first. I feel put down when I read that.

I agree, it wasn't sensitive to your feelings, but that's different from putting down Judaism. And I usually don't consider telling someone what to do once to be pressure/harassment.

There are many parts to the post in question that says something like: [..Convert-Lou Pilder and save yourself first...convert to Christianity...] that are at issue here. You wrote,[...I agree, it wasn't sensitive to your feelings...]. That alone could be a way to post a repudiation in the thread where the post appears. But it is much more than that, for the statement you say is not sensitive to my feelings but you also say that is different from putting down Judaism. Let us look at this post from the past practice of your to see what {putting down} of a faith could mean here by you. The post {implies} that if one road is right then others are wrong and is considered by you to constitute {putting down} other faiths. The key in your past practice here in relation to posts that put down other faiths is by {implication} as to what can be seen. In the post in question, the poster telling me to save myself first by converting to Christianity from Judaism has many {implications}.One implication is that since I am a Jew, that Judaism does not lead to being saved and that Christianity does. That constitutes a generally accepted understanding of what putting down of another faith implies. The implication is that Jews can not be saved unless they convert to Christianity so that the implication is that Judaism is an inferior religion to Chrsitianity and by further implication the Jews will miss out on salvation because they do not convert to Christianity. I feel put down when I read that implication. And your rule is to not post {anything that could lead one to feel put down}. By implication, a subset of readers could think that the statement in question also puts down Islam, and all other faiths that are not Christian. For if Jews need to convert to Christianity for salvation, then would not Islamic people and all other people that are not Christian also have to do the same? So the statement not only leads me to feel put down when I read it, but there could be others also led to feel put down by the statement.

> Lou Pilder
> [ faith, 602 ]Mr. Hsiung,
When a statement is not sensitive to another's feelings, the person could feel put down. I feel put down when I read the statement because you admit that the statement is not sensitive to my feelings. In your rules here, when one rule is broken, many other rules could also be broken, like if a statement is not semsitive to another's feelings, the one that the statement is directed to could feel put down. This is because in your rule to not post what could lead someone to feel put down, the {feeling} is a result of what is posted and that could even be a jump to a conclusion about another or something insensitive or accusative. All of those could lead the subject person to {feel} put down and your rule is not about what is seen, but what the recipient {feels}. And I feel put down by the statement that you say is not sensitive to my feelings when I read it.
But it is much more than that. For {pressure } is defined more than one way. One way is by repeated questioning or repeated statements, but another is by what any consequences could be to the recipient if they do not do what is said for the subject person to do. An example hypothetically could be if one poster tells another poster that they are to convert to Christianity or they will not be saved. The {consequences} of not being saved could be considered by a subset of readers to be {pressuring} the subject person.
Let us look at your post from the past practice here which shows that when another's faith is put down, that could constitute pressure by you. And the {putting down} in your past practice here could be considered by a subset of readers as analogous to the statement in question as putting down another faith because in the statement in question Judaism could be thought by a subset of readers to be made out by the poster as {inferior} to Christianity because the statement says to convert to Christianity for me to save myself first. It also jumps to a conclusion that Judaism does not lead to salvation which a subset of readers could think is an insult and criticism of Judaism as being a faith that lacks a way to be saved and by implication could mean that Jews all over the world, not just me as a Jew here, can not be saved unless they convert to Christianity. To criticize a faith is to {put down} that faith. So a subset of readers could not only think that the post puts down Judaism, but those readers could also feel put down because the post remains unsanctioned and you say that unsanctioned posts have statements in them that are not against your rules. So a subset of Jewish readers could feel humiliation not only when they read the statement, but to see that you say that the statement is not against your rules because it is unsanctioned. And to say that one religion is to be embraced as in this case to be saved, is to demean all others as you admit.
This stance that you show here has historical parallels that your prohibitions posted to me here prevent me from posting about. But I say to you, that as long as you allow statements that could lead a Jew to feel put down, which are anti-Semitic statements, there could be a subset of readers to see what you are doing as an invitation to post anti-Semitic expressions here that could lead to Jews being victims of anti-Semitic violence as that those readers could act out hatred toward the Jews in the community where they reside for you say that you do what will be good for this community as a whole and those readers could think that it will be good for their community as a whole also.
Never again.

It also jumps to a conclusion that Judaism does not lead to salvation which a subset of readers could think is an insult and criticism of Judaism as being a faith that lacks a way to be saved and by implication could mean that Jews all over the world, not just me as a Jew here, can not be saved unless they convert to Christianity. To criticize a faith is to {put down} that faith. So a subset of readers could not only think that the post puts down Judaism, but those readers could also feel put down because the post remains unsanctioned and you say that unsanctioned posts have statements in them that are not against your rules. So a subset of Jewish readers could feel humiliation not only when they read the statement, but to see that you say that the statement is not against your rules because it is unsanctioned. And to say that one religion is to be embraced as in this case to be saved, is to demean all others as you admit.
> This stance that you show here has historical parallels that your prohibitions posted to me here prevent me from posting about. But I say to you, that as long as you allow statements that could lead a Jew to feel put down, which are anti-Semitic statements, there could be a subset of readers to see what you are doing as an invitation to post anti-Semitic expressions here that could lead to Jews being victims of anti-Semitic violence as that those readers could act out hatred toward the Jews in the community where they reside for you say that you do what will be good for this community as a whole and those readers could think that it will be good for their community as a whole also.

> Lou just a question are you telling Dr Bob how he should run his website? Just curious? Phillipa
Phillipa,
You wrote the above.
The site represents what is supportive and good for this community as a whole by the nature of Mr. Hsiung posting his philosophy of what he wants readers to consider before they post here. One such philosophy is that if what is going to be posted is not supportive, it should not be posted here for being supportive takes precedence.
I agree with his philosophy in a sense in that to go along with such, the administration of the content is neutral by the moderator and his deputies. It is when discrimination happens in the moderation of this site, which Mr. Hsiung states is an abuse of power, and I agree with him in that respect. And when statements that could lead a Jew to feel put down when they read it are unsanctioned, then I think that it is my responsibility as a Jew to do what I can here to stop him and his deputies of record from leaving anti-Semitic statements unsanctioned. For a subset of readers could think that those statements are not against the rules and are supportive according to Mr. Hsiung and his deputies of record which could lead to fostering hatred toward the Jews in a subset of readers by the nature that Mr. Hsiung states to try and trust him in what he does here because what he does in his thinking will be good for this community as a whole.
I am prevented from posting the historical parallels to that type of thinking due to the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung. But I say to you, never again.
Lou
