> > In your thinking, the meaning of "seemingly" could be understood as "not actually" under a specific literary use when an impossibility is what is "seemingly". For instance, suppose one was watching the Olympics on television and the high-jump was what people were watching. And one high-jumper broke the record. Then the commentator said, "He seemingly could jump to the moon." That is an impossibility.

> BobMr. Hsiung,' The idea of posting a repudiation is to post what could show that the statement in question is nit conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and is not in accordance with your rule that says that. In this case, your rule to not post what could put down those of other faiths comes into play.
Your repudiation is one that reasonably shows that.
The aspect of that the poster libels me in respect to the use of the phrase, {Lou's burden} is also involved in another one of your rules, to not jump to a conclusion about someone. The statement is false, for I do not consider keeping the commandments of God to be a burden and the statement outs me and Jews and those that keep the commandments in a false light as being enslaved by the commandments as the poster writes,[...a treacherous form of slavery imposed by God himself..].
I think that if you leave the statement to stand, that a subset of readers could think that you are validating the libel against me, so I am asking that you include that the statement about me is also not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and also not inaccordance with your rule to not jump to a conclusion about someone.
Here is my way of posting a repudiation of both:
[...Please do not post what could put down those of other faiths or jump to a conclusion about someone. A subset of readers could see what you posted as jumping to a conclusion about Lou as having a burden in worshipping the God in question and that the use of "treacherous" could be an insult to the God in question...] Bob
But be it as it may be, you could choose your own posting of a repudiation and I would like to go to the next post that puts down Jews and can foster anti-Semitism as in the two bible passages that have anti-Semitic statements as in John 5 and Matthew 27. There is also the post in the link that I offered here recently for you to choose from.
