Friends,
There is some part of this thread that writes something like that I am requesting a determination from Dr. Hsiung as to if some part of a post, or the whole post is {civil or not}.
The requests by me to Dr. Hsiung are for the determination as to if the post , or part of it, {is acceptable or not in relation to the guidlines of the forum}. I am not requesting if the part in question is civil, although the civility rules are part of the guidlines of the forum.
When I ask for this determination, I feel that {all} the members of the forum could benifit by knowing whether or not the requested part is acceptable or not. One way or the other, we could have guidance in relation to what is being requested for determination by having the determination from Dr. Hsiung given. The determination could be a lamp to our feet.
There are those determinations that I have requested resulting in a determination that something was {not} acceptable. I feel that that is good for the community as a whole, for now it is established in that way by Dr. Hsiung's determination. There are posts or parts of posts that Dr. Hsiung writes {are} acceptable. Now we all can follow that example as being acceptable.
There are posts and parts of posts that have been requested for a determination that Dr.Hsiung has not replied to as being one way or the other. Dr. Hsiung has now given a procedure to follow in order to remind him to that.
But Dr. Hsiung is only asked by me to give a determination as to the guidlines of the forum. He could just say it is or it isn't acceptable with out any comment, for that is the only thing that I am requesting of him to do. He could ask the poster to rephrase the statement. He could also make a notation about the civility of it.
If it is important to anyone here, I would just like Dr.Hsiung to give a determination as to {the acceptability or not in relation to the guidlines of the forum} and that is all. I base that on that the requests are made on the administration board and I feel that the administartive board could have something like an {immunity from prosecution} concept in it in order to alleviate any concern about being blocked as a result of this being requested for a determination. Also, these requests got to the administrative board because someone wanted to know about whatever it is and Dr. Hsiung has written that this is one of the acceptable ways to request that here. And I agree with Dr. Hsiung in respect to that.
