Nick,
You wrote,[...promoting civility...].
Well, if suggesting to one that they are promoting civility by [..not to read in the first place...], could not there be the potential for some others here to also think that since it is the athority- host-moderator that is making the suggestion, that it could be for them also to [...not read in the first place..] also to be civil here? Could then that have the potential to have others not reply to my posts here?
You see, I think that there is a difference between if ,let's say, you suggest to another her to[...not read in the first place..] to be civil here and when Dr. Hsiung writes that. He is the authority and the weight is much greater to the recipiant of the suggestion than if a poster made the suggestion.
I had this happen to me in real life, so I am extreamly sensitive to this. That is why I am requesting that others here responding to this thread aquaint themselves with the causes of the Nazi Holocaust.
[...not to read in the first place...]? How does that promote civility? Could not the poster change his/her way of responding to my posts instead of being suggested to not read in the first place? If the poster does not read my posts, could that be something that could have the potential to promote something else?
