Friends,
It is written here about volunteer moderators of mental-health forums and volunteer firefighters. what is the subject that I have introduced is as to if Dr. Hsiung's policy that says that moderators here do not have to intervene, is a reasonable policy.
There is a test for if something is reasonable or not that is used by many universities and affirmative action departments.
One test is to ask if the policy is {just}. Another test is to ask if the policy is {rational}. Another is to ask if it is {appropriate}. Another is to ask if it is {generally acceptable}.But the most impotant test, is to ask if the policy disregards one's Human Rights.
The Human Rights of people are those that are basic standards without which people can not live in {dignity}. To disregard someone's Human Rights is to treat that person as though he or she were not a human being. To advocate Human Rights is to advocate that the human dignity of {all} people be respected.
I ask you to put any policy to that test.
Lou
