In your above reply to me, you wrote that you think that there are {fresh} matches and {used} ones.
That may be. But we here are talking about the >effects and reults of the match already struck <and the fire that has been caused by the match. I would like to show posts so that others could make their own determination as to if the fires are still burning or not.Could not the original match give off more fire that has could spread to another forum? And could there not be posts here that IMO are from those posts in question that I feel could have been not posted if the original posts were addressed as being uncivl? And I feel that all the posts that are of the nature that are statements that have been used for centuries to spread antisemitic hate and foster defamation toward Jews that could have been addressed here as being uncivil, could be addressed now to let people that read those post in question in the present know for sure that this forum repudiates all forms of antisemitism. Could not one here read in the present those posts in question and maybe get the idea that the embers are still glowing so that one could cause another fire to arrise from those posts?
Is not the fire still on this forum, not put out? Can I post the posts that are still able to be seen in the present and allow others to make their own determination as to if those posts has to potential to have come from those posts in question that were allowed to to be posted without them being notated as uncivil? I think that you have the abiity to address those posts and have a message posted that the posts are not civil. Then, I think that the fire will be quenched, at least at its source.
You have made new rules when I rejoined the forum that I am not sure of as to if I can or can not post posts here from other members, so I will not show the forum these posts at this time untill I know what your new rules entail. Those that have emailed me have seen only up to 17 of them. There are much more, each one with IMO the capability to start new fires here or somewhere else.
Your policy that allows your deputies to not intervene also allows them to be unwilling to post a repudiation from the forum's administrative team to those posts in question. Your rule that now prohibits me from posting content that shows historical state-sponsored tactics that have been used for centuries to spread antisemitic hate has the potential IMO to keep me from offering the support and education from my perspective that I could offer here.
I ask.(A) If there is a need to make new rules , could those rules be civil if they keep me from offering support and education from my perspective?(B)If the reader here would like to support DR. Hsiung here, could you take into considerstion that DR. Hsiung has just posted [..And it's actually *because* this site deals with mental health that civility is valued so highly...]. And also, he has posted something like that he has archives so that new people can see what it is like here. And also he writes something like to to trust him and that he does what in his thinking will be good for the community as a whole. Well, I am part of the whole. Is it good for me to have posts that have been used for centuries to spread antisemitic hate to remain here without them being notated as uncivil by the administration? If you could keep those things in mind ,and perhaps email me to see the posts in quesion if you like, then I could have the oportunity to respond accordingly to whatever you post in support of DR. Hsiung.
