> It is ironic, but during your period of close moderation, people had very few fears of being hurt except for by the rigid sanctions administered by you. People felt safe otherwise. Safety was even provided for Lou Pilder, who posted in a civil manner at that time. There was a great deal more exchange of ideas, information, and support during this time. I can't imagine why you would not be able to exercise sanctions again, albeit to a more moderate degree. I don't think that a black-or-white or all-or-nothing approach towards establishing the level of moderation to be exercised is at all useful. I can't believe you would open a new board dedicated to protect people from a single person who behaves in a way that you have so often deemed to be uncivil. Were it not for the unfettered posting of uncivil content by this singular poster, we would not be having this discussion.

Scott,
You wrote,[...I can't believe that you would open a new board dedicated to protect people from a single person who behaves in a way that you have so often deemed to be uncivil.

The subject person in your post could be thought to be me.
This then has the potential to put me in a false light, for I am following the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung as humanly possible. I may make a mistake after the fact, and post an apology or correction. What is the {uncivil content} in your post here that people could think is in my postings, is not specified here. This could mean that any and all of my posts have the potential for readers to think contain uncivil content. This could then include my posts that come from a Jewish perspective as revealed to me.
But it is much more than that. For in your post here there is the potential for readers to see me in a false light that can decreas the respect, regard or confidence in which I am held and could induce hostile or disagreeable opinions or feelings against me.
Readers, if you want to know more about this ongoing situation, and how hate can be promulgated toward me here, I ask that you read the following.
Lou
