> Now you say that it is{ your opinion} as to if something puts down or pressures. You also state here that you do not substitute your feelings for someone else's feelings in matters of feeling put down when they read something here. You also agree that if something puts down Jews, it is an anti-Semitic statement.
> Now the generally accepted meaning of {put down} and {pressure} can be the determining factor here, when people read what is in The generally accepted meanings of what is in question could be seen forensically as in posts in the past practice here and compare those with {your opinion} as to if or if not {your opinion} is not in accordance with what your past practice shows as to what {pressure} or {put down} means. But it is much more than that. For if you are deviating in this case from your past practice, a subset of readers could think that you are attempting to accommodate the statements in question here as being conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and supportive, which could also lead a subset of readers to think that you are in concert with the poster to allow what those readers could think what is not supportive and pressures a Jew to convert to Christianity in order to be saved. That could lead to a subset of Jews feeling put down and insulted on the basis that those readers could think that you are allowing the statement in question that says that Jews are not saved and need to convert to Christianity to be saved. This could then lead a subset of readers to think that you are attempting to foster anti-Semitism here by not sanctioning what could be seen by a subset of readers as Jews being put down and pressured to adopt the Christian perspective because you state that posts not sanctioned have what is in them statements that are not against your rules.
> Lou PilderMr Hsiung,
Your past practice here clarifies what one can post as if it is supportive or not, or if it puts down or not or pressures or not.
One of the aspects that define this that readers could see states by you:
[...To say that one belief should be embraced is to say that others should not which puts down those of other beliefs...].
Now the statement in question states that I as a Jew should convert to Christianity in order to save myself. Now the poster does not state what {save} means, but it is generally accepted that when others attempt to convert another to another faith, usually theirs, as used in this case, it is The Wrath of God that is what readers could think that the person should be saved from. This generally is what Christians that attempt to convert others to Christianity use to lead the ones being attempted to be converted to think that they will suffer excruciating torment in flames for all eternity in what they call "hell" if they remain Jews and do not convert to Christianity. This is a generally accepted meaning of what {pressure} means in relation to pressure others to adopt Christianity, for the implication could mean that if you do not convert to Christianity, you could go to hell.
You also state that telling others what to do is not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare here because telling others what to do is different from telling others what to believe. Here in this case, I as a Jew am being told what to do, to convert to Christianity, so that I could save myself first.
You also state that making statements like the one in question could be determined as to if it is OK to post it on the basis of determining if it is {necessary} to post it. Is it necessary to post to me to as a Jew convert to Christianity to save myself first?
You also state here that it is fine to post what you believe-as long as you don't put down other beliefs. The concept that I as a Jew am being told to first convert to Christianity to save myself first, is contrasting Judaism as a religion that can not save Jews with a religion that one could be saved as converting to so that what can be seen is that Judaism is {inferior} to Christianity because Judaism can not save but Christianity can. This is one of the generally accepted meanings of what {put down} means.
The aspect that you are allowing the statement to be seen as supportive and will be good for this community as a whole could lead a subset of readers such as Jewish children to feel put down, insulted, humiliated with no hope of being with God in Paradise, but to be consigned to hell because they are Jews and have not converted to Christianity to save themselves first as the poster writes here. This could lead those readers that come here via a search in depression to go further into depression and commit suicide as they could think that you are saying that the statement will be good for this community as a whole and I supportive because it is unsanctioned.
You say that you take responsibility for what you post, and by you rejecting this opportunity to post a repudiation of what puts down Jews and others that do not convert to Christianity first to be saved, readers could think that you could be using your power to foster anti-Semitism here for you do have a choice to post a repudiation or not, for your rules state not to post anything that could lead one to feel put down. I feel put down, and if you want to say that I should not feel put down, then go ahead and post that here. But when you do it to me, you do it to the other Jews that feel put down when they read what you are allowing as not against your rules to post here.
Lou Pilder
Here is a post where you clarify about putting down other faiths and telling others what to do and if it is necessary and to say that one belief should be embraced is to say that others should not.

and then here is a post saying not to pressure or put down: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20020918/msgs/7724.html
