> This brings up the following concerns that I have in regards to what you have posted here about me. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly. In a previous post by you in this thread, you stated that discrimination along with genocide and such is an {abuse of power}.
> A. If by you leaving some of my notifications outstanding, does that or does that not constitute discrimination by you in your moderation here? If not, why not?
> B. If the leaving of any of my notifications outstanding is discrimination by you here, is that then an abuse of power by you?
> C. If you claim that you are doing what will be good for this community as a whole and for yourself to leave some of my notification outstanding, then does that in your thinking override an {abuse of power}, if you agree that by you doing that discrimination results?
> D. Then if you agree that you can discriminate, if you agree that by leaving some of my notifications outstanding constitutes discrimination, which you state is an abuse of power, on the basis that the discrimination will be good for this community as a whole and for you, then in your thinking could not a state commit genocide if they claim that by doing so their state will be better, or good for their state as a whole, or even for the leader? And would that also go for infanticide, slavery, segregation and such in your thinking?
> E. What "good" will come to this community or to you by you leaving some of my notifications outstanding?
> Lou PilderMr Hsiung,
Now you say that you will have a community that has a procedure for members to follow that alerts you to what a member using the notification procedure could consider a harmful statement and you say that you will attend to those according to your terms of service here. But then you stipulate that there could be alerts to you by me and that you have the option of attending to those alerts by me to you or not, which members here do not have what type of alerts that you are saying that you have the option to attend to them or not. You agree that this has historical parallels including slavery, genocide, discrimination, segregation, infanticide and such being an abuse of power and resulting in millions of deaths.
My overriding concern here now is that I am awaiting your reply to requests by me in this thread that could clarify what your thinking here is about your "exception" in relation to you giving yourself the option of attending to my notifications to you or not, which I consider to be included in the generally accepted meaning of discrimination. This option that you give yourself, IMHHHHHO, could cause the deaths of members and readers here. This is all because I have already told you that hate could be promulgated here if it is thought to be supportive and readers could think that what is allowed to stand is supportive by the nature that you state that support takes precedence and one match could start a forest fire. The fire of hate could spread way beyond this forum and I agree with you that the fire should not be given any time to spread and be acted on without waiting, and you do say that you do not wait.
The ability of members to see through what you are doing here, by you giving yourself the option of treating my notifications differently than other members here, varies in a wide range of individual differences. Some may think that you are justified in treating my notifications differently on the basis that they trust you in that it will be good for you and/or the community as a whole for you to do so. But if deaths happen as a result of your policy to treat my notifications differently, how could that be good for you or this community as a whole, if the phrase, "will be good for this community as a whole" is not understood by some members as to the historical parallels that have shown that discrimination, if you agree that what you are allowing yourself to do in relation to my notifications constitutes discrimination, was not good for communities as a whole?
And could not I become a victim of violence if you treat my notifications differently and leave (redacted by respondent) to me to stand so that there could be some readers swayed to think that you are doing what will be good for you and/or the community as a whole, and that overrides what is wrong to be right? You see, when you use the ancient thinking that there is no right or wrong, but only what will be good for the community as a whole, then that type of ancient thinking justified in the minds of those that committed infanticide, genocide, slavery, discrimination and such to be allowed, for they made the people think that had their children murdered that they were doing good by allowing their child to have their life taken by the state. But what if later the state was conquered and then what happened to those that claimed that they were doing good? The parents now see that the deaths of their child did not pay off, as the leader claimed. They gambled with the lives of the the children and lost. I do not want you to gamble with my life, my friend. I do not want you to have the option to treat my notifications to you differently than other members here. I do not want to be a victim of violence and hate that has the potential, IMHHHHO, to be promulgated here by you by you making the provision in your terms of service for you to discriminate against me here by not responding to my notifications to you as you say you will do to the other members here. I do not want to be stigmatized by you as IMHHHHHHHHO stigmatization could occur to me as a result of having a what I consider to be a discriminatory policy that the effects from such a policy could IMO extend way beyond this forum. I do not want others to think that I am being used as a scapegoat by you or anyone else for their real or imagined concerns, for your policy that allows you the option to not respond to notifications by me to you could have the potential IMO for some readers to see that, for another poster here posted to that concern.
Be advised that by members seeing years of outstanding notifications/requests from me to you remain outstanding, that they could have the potential to see what is the content that you are meaning to be allowed to stand by the nature that those are the ones that you could be choosing to stand by not responding to my notifications to you. And that could lead to IMO the justifying of hate in the minds of some readers here, for you state that there are even readers that are less-confident people and so could there not be readers that have minds that could be swayed to entertain hatred toward me, and hatred toward the Jews by the nature that statements that promote hatred toward the Jews are allowed to stand here by you? If not, why not?
You prevent me from educating readers here about how hate historically has been promulgated by the state. That prohibition, IMHHHHHHHHO, could lead to the readers here thinking that they can justify hate if it will be good for them, for you say that by you not responding to some of m notifications it could be good for you. I say that as I see the historical record, it shows otherwise.
