Friends,
It is written here,[...this discussion incorrectly implies that Mormons consider Judaism an atrocity....I request that you refrain from stating or implying that the Mormon Church is anti-Semitic...].
The statement here does not specify what in a post is implying that Mormonism is anti-Semitic. By not specifying such, readers can not be informed as to what is the statement(s) that are being said to consider that the statement implies that the Mormon church is anti-Semitic. This could put me in a false light for I am not categorizing the Mormon Church as anti-Semitic at all. The issues here are statements THAT COULD AROUSE ANTISEMITIC FEELINGS that are in discussion. There are two sides to this, but if anti-Semitism is to be discussed , I think that whatever post it is that says that the Mormon Church is anti-Semitic, it being posted could go a long way for me to defend myself, for I think that readers could think that I am the subject person here and the implication that readers could get about my character could be that there could be a decrease in the respect, regard and confidence in which I am held and there could be hostile and disagreeable opinions an feelings against me. You see, I never posted that Mormons consider Judaism an atrocity, and I do not know what post implies that. If I was to know the post, I could have the opportunity to respond to it.
The question as to if the Mormon Church is anti-Semitic or not can be made by your own determination. In order to do that, one has in their mind what anti-Semitism is. And there are different opinions concerning the identification of anti-Semitism. One is simple, {against the Jew}. Another degrades and dehumanizes Jews. Another is the accusing of the Jews of(redacted by respondent) Christ. Another is stereotyping Jews. There are many others.
In a discussion, there are usually two sides.
Lou
