DR. Hsiung,
In your response concerning the ongoing discussion here that involves posts here that have been used for centuries in tactics of historical state-sponsored antisemitism, and have IMO the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings or IMO to foster defamation toward Jews due to that those posts in question are not sanctioned IMO as other posts of the same nature that accuse or put down others or are not sensitive to the feeelings of others, I have asked that those posts be notated as being uncivil. You have posted:
[...the question for me hasn't been whether they're discriminatory, but whether it's {more helpful} to focus on the past or on the present...].
I ask if you could clarify:
A. Are you saying that you not concerned at all about discrimination here?
B. Are you saying that even if there is discrimination, you will not notate those posts as uncivil because it is {more helpful}to not notate them as being uncivil?
If so,
1.could you clarify as to what you mean by who, if it is members, it could be {more helpful} to, by not sanctioning the posts in question as other posts are?
2. Are you saying that some members here could be helped here by continueing to leave posts of the nature in question unnotated as being uncivil? If so, how could those members be helped by that?
3. Are you saying that it would be more helpful to the Jewish community to leave posts of the nature in question unnotated as being uncivil? If so, how could it be more helpful to them?
4. Are you saying that it would be more helpful to the community as a whole to leave posts of the nature in question unnotated as being uncivil? If so, I am a member of the whole, so could you write here how in your opinion it could be more helpful to me?
5.something else
C. Could you clarify as to why you were willing to remedy a post that used language that put down Christians, and are not willing at this time to remedy posts that IMO have language that puts down Jews?
D. Have you rescinded your statement here that says that one match can start a forest fire?
E. other clarifications
