You wrote,[...all that is necessary for the triumph of negative butterflies is that positive butterflies do nothing..]. That was your response to:
[...one person's negative influence can, like the butterfly effect, move through an entire message board...].
I could be thought to be the subject person as the negative butterfly in your post and be the cause of negativity in the entire site here . This of what you have written about me IMO could stigmatize me and I could be a victim of anti-Semitic violence.
Now that brings up that there could be IMHO a subset of readers influenced by you to consider me to be *negative*. And more than that, those readers could see me in a false light, for what I am supposed to be negative for is not specified by you. This means that anything that I post could be considered by them to be what is the subject of why I have this badge put on me as a *negative* in this community. This then could be that I post from a Jewish perspective as revealed to me. This could IMHO have the potential to arouse anti-Semitic feelings to a subset of readers. It also IMHHHO could induce hostile and disagreeable and disparaging opinions and feelings against me and decrease the respect, regard and confidence in which I am held. And much worse for me and other Jews, there is the potential IMHHHHHO for readers in countries where hatred toward the Jews is state-sponsored, and even in countries where hatred toward the Jews is not state-sponsored, for Jews to be targeted for harm on the basis that those influenced by what you wrote here about me could arouse hatred toward the Jews along with that those readers could think that it is supportive for me to have the badge put on me as a negative member of this community. I do not want readers to see me having a badge of shame put on me by you or anyone else
