> Friends,

> Friends, if I was to let go what is posted here by Dr. Hsiung ,[...not to read in the first place...]Yes, I did write that I find your references to the Nazis disrespectful to the millions of people who who experienced the horrors of those years. AND NOW YOU RESPOND BY DOING IT AGAIN???
It may not be stated explicitely in the civility FAQ for this site, but in many parts of the world, Lou, it is considered decidedly UNcivil to continue to do something which you have been told is so upsetting to someone else. That's something else to consider, Lou, the difference between the letter of the law, and the SPIRIT of the law. If you don't know the difference between those two things, Lou, ask someone else. I'm not going to explain it.
> In studying the causes of the Nazi Holocaust, one of the propaganda techniques used by the Nazis was to defame anyone jewish by stigmatizing them, making others feel enbarraseed to be associate with jews, make people think that the jews could harm them, that the jews are like rats carring disease, viruses that will infect them, that the jews are the cause of their problems.
Lou, one difference between what the Nazis did and what is happening here is that the Jews were singled out SOLELY because of their religious and ethnic heritage. Anything an individual Jew might have done or not done meant nothing. By birth alone, ALL Jews were targets.Here, though, Lou, we are judged by our actions, by what we write, by how we treat others. If anyone is suggesting that others not read what you write, perhaps it is because you have SHOWN us, time after time, through you own words, that you will ignore most of what people reply to you, in favor of picking out one or more picyune details to pick apart -- and will often bring up the Holocaust as if that somehow justifies your ignoring other people's expressions of distress at reading something you've written!
I guess I just don't understand how your response to my post can be seen as anything besides inconsiderate and ill-meant.
>I do not appreciate having others write that I could be the cause of anyone's problems and I do not consider that my posts harm anyone here by writing civil posts here and would appreciate it if Dr. Hsiung delete the part in question.
Lou, you may not be the cause of anyone's problems, but what you write here certainly has contributed to others' problems.
And can you see the contradiction between expressing your belief that everyone else should take responsibility for their own actions or reactions, and your utter refusal to do so yourself?
