There is a concern here about {favoritism} which could also be referred to as >discrimination< as to if the criteria to distimguish between the two, are evident.
In determining as to if discrimination is being practiced in a community, one could ask:
A. is there an atmosphere of intimidation toward one group or even one member of a group?
B.Is there {indoctrination} by disallowing the {inclusion} of the perspective of the group in question?
C. Is there failure of the administration to apply their own rules to those that attack a group or one person of that group?
D. Are there special rules made that have the effect of stifiling dissent by a group or one member of that group?
E. And does the administration fail to apply their own rule to others while the group in question, or one member of the group, is held to that standard?
F.Does the administration delegitimize one group's perspective in their rules?
G. Does the administration fail to enforce their own standards to those that taunt and/or mock a group or one member of that group?
H. Are psychological tactics such as, but not limited to ,{stalling} and {evasion} used by the administartion to allow others in the group to go unsanctioned from what would be sanctioned to the group in question or one member of that group?
K. Can what is known as a {well -thought -out- plan} be seen that could show that the administration's attitude and actions are not as a result of simple negligence that results in mistreatment to a group or one member of that group?
L. Are there features in the community that a group or one member of that group are denied to use equally as the other members are?
M.Does the administration refuse to remedy what could be thought by some to be discrimination?
N. Does the administration foster defamation toward one group or one member of that group by failing to apply their own rules {in degree} to those that defame the group in question?
P. Does the administration >coach< others to shelter them from the sanctions imposed on the group in question, or one member of that group,that the member is posting what is defaming to the group in question?
R. Does the administration change their own rules to accommodate defamation toward the group in question or to one member of that group?
I am unsure as to if I can post links here due to the nature of the new rules made here when I rejoined the forum. If you are interested in making your own determination concerning the criteria here and would like to email me, then I could offer some aditional criteria for you to use to make your own determination.
