I have seen snippets of some of the posts and I do see, sometimes, that the post could be upsetting to a Jewish person. However, if all of us took everything to heart here that another fellow Babbler said, we'd be up the proverbial creek without a paddle..because in that process we would be giving our power away to that poster.

And I am enjoying have that thread go on smoothly without having to try to tell you "why, how, where, when I pick a particular video from YouTube. I would have folded by now and left the thread had I been asked to clarify my choices of songs.

I've been discriminated against by people from organized religion but that doesn't change the fact that I am part Indian. In a nutshell, I could give a rats*** what others think of how I connect with my higher power. Being discriminated against comes with the territory of being American Indian. "drunk injun"..."savage".."backwards" "second class citizens"..all sorts of racial slurs have rolled off my back.

Friends,
It is written here,[...I know that the alleged posts in question (posts that have statements that could arrouse antisemitic feelings or lead a Jew to feel put down/accused) bother you greatly...I do see...posts that could be upsetting to a Jewish person...if we took..what other posters said..up the.. creek..giving our power away to that poster...].
There is much more to this. Mr. Hsiung has posted that if there is not a sanction by the administration to a statement that others could think that what is not sanctioned is acceptable here. (citation A)
By then the nature of Mr. Hsiung's administration in this matter, others could have the potential to think that the statements in question are what the thinking is IMO for the forum to be acceptable, and also others outside the forum's membership that read the posts in question in other data bases could also have IMO that same idea.
So I will continue to use all my might to have statements that have been determined in the historical record to be those that could have the potential to fuel antisemitic feelings or lead a Jew to feel put down/accused to have a notation by the administration placed in the thread where they first appear as to be not civil.
You see, the historical record has shown that psychiatry and universities have the potential to indoctrinate. And I think that when a university member, being a psychiatrist, is the owner of a forum that others could think that what is promulgated on the forum is some type of official line which is different from, let's say, a private indiividual that is not affiliated with a university, hosting a web forum like this one here. Those type of forums IMO do not have the same degree of potential to indoctrinate as one that is run by a someone of university affiliation and being a psychiatrist.
The member here has posted that the posts in question bother me and could see that. They do, for I see them as haveing the potential foe some others to consider that they have the potential to be an attack on Jews here and much more as having the potential IMO to be an attack on humanity itself. What is your conception of support? I would like those that would want to answer that question to email me with your conception by emailing me a post from here to show that. And for every post you send me, I'll send you three.
Lou
