Dr. Hsiung,
I am requesting that you close the Faith board. I am making my request because of the policy that could be seen as having the potential IMO as being established to allow posters to post statements that IMO have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings without you posting in your subject line to those posters that what they had posted is associated with the civility aspect of the forum by allowing posters to offer links that have statements that IMO have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings.
You ask the poster to revise or rephrase the statement in question but the statement still is there. If you deleted the original statement and the poster wrote a new statement, then that would be what IMO could be to be OK.
I am concerned that since you have not posted in your subject line that civility is involved, and only asked for a revision, that others could do the same and leave their original post on the board without being subject to you posting in your subject line to them that the civilty aspect of the forum is involved. This could mean that they could repeatedly post those type of statements by using links. I feel depreciated by this policy that allows statements that IMO have the potential to arrose antisemitic feelings to be addressed by you without mentioning the civility aspect of the statements in question.
I have also emailed you with other requests to address posts that IMO have that potential and I have not seen those posts addressed in any way, even to revise them. I feel that if those type of statements are going to be left unaddresed by you, that there is the potential for others to think that they are acceptable here.
