Mr. Hsiung,
In regards to that you write that it is fine to discuss actions you take, ask for your rationale, rules and policy here, I would like to have discussion with you here in this thread concerning your policy as to that one here is to [...not post anything that could lead another to feel accused or put down...].
My concerns are for clarification as to:
A. How do you determine if what is in question in a post as to if it could lead someone to feel accused or put down, as to what are the criteria in the statement that you use to make that determination.
B. In those criteria,if any, could you allow the statement in question, just because the poster writes that they believe it? If so, how does the fact that the member posting the statement in question that they believe it make the statement any less to the recipiant that {feels} put down or accused when they read it?
C. If a member objects to you that a statement here makes them feel put down or accused, do you have some way to say to them that the statement in question does not make them feel put down or accused, even though the member reporting writes that they feel accused or put down when they read the statement in question?
D. If so, do you take a survey of others in that group and ask them if they feel put down when they read the statement in question?
E. If a statement here is reported to you that it leads another to {feel} put down or accused, and if you take a position that is does not, by what authority do you use, if any, to tell the member reporting that the statment in question does not lead him/her to {feel} put down or accused {if the statement has in it the generally accepted criteria that constitutes a statment that could be of the nature that it puts down}?
If you could reply to any of the above, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly. Others could offer their conception of what they think constitutes a statement that could lead another to feel put down or accused if they like here. One of the generally accepted meanings of {to put down} is for the statement in question to lead someone to feel belittled when they read the statement in question. Then there are derivatives from that and other meanings.
