In response to that Mr. Hsiung wrote,[...a subset of readers could think that I'm supporting the community as a whole by giving it an opportunity to deal with issues like hate...], you wrote,[...to assess the presence of a narcissistic dimension, that subset of readers might consider whether a service provider...]
A. [...claims a right to be recognized as superior, such as by claiming an experimental project demonstrates the best of all alternatives...]
B. [...represents that prolonged conflict as beneficial by claiming the conflict better exposes those involved to the subject of the conflict...].
I think that you have a rational basis for posting those two in response to what Mr. Hsiung posted that a subset of readers could think that he is supporting the community as a whole by giving it the opportunity to deal with issues like hate if:
1. The target of the hate is myself and Jews by the nature that the discussion has me as the target person and that I am objecting to Mr. Hsiung allowing anti-Semitism and defamation toward me to be seen as civil where those statements are originally posted
and,
B. That if that was the case, a discussion of hate could take place here even if Mr. Hsiung posted his tagline to please be civil to the anti-Semitic statements that are in discussion.
But this could all be moot if what Mr. Hsiung posted ,to him means something else which I am awaiting his response to my questions to him for clarification of that.
But do you see the grammatical structure of the statement here by Mr. Hsuing to at least be taken as I see it by average readers, or do you see something else that I do not see? And also, do you see that what Mr. Hsiung posted here could be considered by a subset or readers to be a transparent attempt to justify leaving anti-Semitism and defamation against me to be seen as civil, supportive , and will be good for this community as a whole where no justification
is deserved?
