> LouSpriggy,
If this question of yours to me {are you saying}, is related to the statement that Dr. Hsiung and AM are approving, allow me to explain further.
The grammatical structure of that stetment has the potential to be interpreted various ways. That is why I asked the author so that she could have the opportunity to rule out what could be an interpretation.
The grammatical structure of that statement in question has the conjunction {but} which could have the potential to join the two statements together with
A. except for that there is this other fact
B. unless
C. Yet
D. with exception that
E who not
F other interpretations using the conjunction {but}
I feel inferior when I read that quote because of the grammatical structure having the potential IMO to have one think those questions that I asked the author to rule out .
I asked because it was unclear to me what interpretation the author wanted to be meant because there is the potential for the conjunction to mean various meanings.
But historically, the quote has been used to arrouse antisemitic feelings and has the potential IMO to lead a Jew to feel put down and I wanted to give the author the opportunity to refute any possible potential for someone else here to think that they could interptret it differntly from the author's intention.
It is the potential for the interpretation that is the issue. But as the quote stands by itself, it has the potential IMO to arrouse antisemitic feelings and the potential to lead a Jew to feel put down, because of the conjunction {but}, in the quote.
The quote could be put into a context that could not lead a Jew to feel put down and I could do that, but the rules here made to me by DR. Hsiung say that if I was to post the foundation of my faith, in relation that I have a commandment to me from my God to me, that that would be uncivil.
The statemnet in question using the conjunction {but}, could be IMO interpreted as being a foundation of that author's faith. And if the foundation of my faith can not be posted without sanction, then could not the foundation of that author's faith also not be posted without sanction?
