> I don't know Lou. I guess I just found it odd that Bob seemed to be putting conditions on his returning and/or staying. It's kind of like a cop saying he or she will only protect the community if all citizens try to be good. Frankly, I'd like to invest more time on Babble again someday because I hopefully will get something out of participating, not so that Bob will return.
Toph,
You brought out that Mr Hsiung's condition for him was that the members, like the people that the cop would not enforce the law unless there was a condition by the cop fulfilled by all the people in the community. What that could mean is that:
A. The cop would not stop someone from being beaten UNLESS ALL the community members fulfilled the cop's condition.
Now here it is conceivable for some to think that we could have that one is being a target of hate here and Mr Hsiung will not stop the posters of the hate because the members do not fulfill his condition, which he posts now, after the fact. And one could think that if one is being a victim of hate here, that the hate will not be stopped because the victim is to be blamed because he/she was a member that did not fulfill the condition. And to go further, the hate could not be stopped, not because the victim was in the class that did not fulfill the condition, but THAT THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE THAT DID NOT FULFILL THE CONDITION. There are historical parallels to this that Mr Hsiung's prohibitions to me prevent me from posting here.
