> The claim by Mr Hsiung that readers could think that I condone the libel against me by not posting a repudiation, which could mean that such readers make a conclusion, could misrepresent the terms of service to the members, for the rule by Mr Hsiung is to not jump to a conclusion about a member.
I'm OK with assuming everyone follows the FAQ or assuming not everyone does. If we assume everyone does, then the FAQ actually says:
> > Please don't ... jump to conclusions about others
which includes me. If we assume not everyone does, then someone could believe what was posted about you was accurate.
> But it is much more than that. Readers could think a lot of things as to why I did not post a response there. Readers could think that I was following the rules here by using some type of notification to Mr Hsiung about it such as an email to him. And readers could think that the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung could preclude me from posting a response because the response could be confrontational and the rule is not to return something wrong because two wrongs do not make a right. And readers could think that I was not reading the board then.
True, those are all possibilities. And another possibility, unless we assume everyone follows the FAQ, is that they could think what was posted about you was accurate.
> But be it as it may be, I do not see any denial that the post *puts down* Jews and those of other faiths that are Abrahamic faiths. That is one part of the post that is different from what libels me with the false statement that I have some type of burden because I am a Jew that has a God that imposes a treacherous form of slavery to those that give service and worship to that God.
Yes, that's a separate issue. But I see them as related. Since if you're not under any burden, then God didn't impose anything on you, and Jewish children won't think they have a bad God.
