Dr. Hsiung,
In your FAQ, you write that the mission of the forum is for support and education. But are you now changing that by allowing unsupportive statements like the ones in question that I feel have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings to be posted here and not be considered to be quotes if they are in a link even if the link writes that what is in it is from a particular doctrinal body of their church? If so, what would prevent one from posting repeated statements in a link that were the type that could have the potential to defame jews? Could one post links here from groups that do not use a church name such as groups that have names like the White Arian Nation and the Klu Klux Klan and the others?
I feel put down and accused when I read the post in question. I feel that those statements in question are unsupportive and grossly offensive to me. I am a jew and I am not filthy, loathsome or full of all manner of abominations, and I do not want there to be posted here any type of statement that could have one think that the jews killed christ. You write that grossly offensive posts can be deleted, yet these that are grossly offensive to me are left on the board.
You write that, [...I've been thinking ther's a difference...]. Are you going, then, to add to your FAQ that quotes from a church's doctrinal body, such as the bible or the Church of the Latter Day Saints verses, that put down or even have the potential for one to think that the statement defames or accuses the jews of killing Christ will be treated differently as to the past practice of evicting those that use offensive language or post what could be considered to be putting down a group of people?
Below are some posts about your FAQ in relation to quoting others. I would like for us to examine these and see if there is a difference between the posts in question and these and if so, what that difference is. If we could do this, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
