Perhaps you can begin a discussion on the Medication forum regarding the differences between molecular benzene and compounds that contain benzene rings. I don't think the Administration forum is the most appropriate for, nor conducive to, such a discussion. Of course, it is Dr. Bob who will judge the desirability of redirecting these posts.

Friends,
It is written here that I could only find one post here that is in consideration as being anti-Semitic.
This could put me in a false light and induce hostile, disparaging and disagreeable opinions and feelings against me because there are many, many posts that I am offering Mr. Hsiung for consideration to purge the statement as that it could put down, at least, Jews and is an anti-Semitic statement according to the rules here. This is not a one-post issue at all, as I think that thereis the potential for some readers to think that after reading the post directed at me here that I am responding to, and I think that by me being put on a false light of offering Mr Hsiung just one post for consideration could harm my reputation and decrease the respect, regard and confidence in which I am held.
Here is a partial list of posts that have content that could be considered to be putting down Jews that I am bringing to discussion here for consideration by Mr Hsiung to reverse his thinking and purge the statement as against the rules by him. He has done so already and I am continuing to go on with him in this discussion in this thread.
Now here is a way to see some of the posts that I intend to present to Mr Hsiung in this discussion one post at a time. There are more after these and more than one already in discussion for Mr Hsiung's consideration in this thread. See[ admin, 1042501 ]for what is coming and some that have already been offered to Mr Hsiung by me for his consideration.
If anyone is led to think that there I have only one post here in consideration by me and Mr Hsiung in this discussion, be advised that the rules here are not to post anything that could put down or accuse another and not to post anything that could put down those of other faiths. And one that you might not know of is to not post a link to what has anti-Semitic content in it. To see that post by Mr Hsiung go to the search box at the bottom of this page and type in:
[ admin, 5164 ]
Now to see,[...do not post to anti-Semitic sites, period...] go to the middle or so of the page that comes up under [admin, 5164 ] and see that the statement starts with
[Are you saying that diatribes by David Duke...]

Your distinctions are not ones I see. I see no difference between stating that a poster has posted anti-semitic statements and accusing a poster of anti-semetism. At the very least you are accusing posters of posting antisemitic statements. Which I don't find particularly conducive to positive feelings.

D,
I see a difference between one posting a statement that could put down Jews and determining if the poster of such is anti-Semitic.
If a statement is posted that could arouse anti-Semitic feelings, it could also put down Jews. The rule here is that one is not to post what could put down those of other faiths. An anti-Semitic statement could put down Jews.
But is the person that posts such anti-Semitic? That could be a different. You see, I can not look into a person's heart to determine if they hate Jews and posted the anti-Semitic statement of of malice toward Jews to arouse hatred toward them. That could be determined by having more information than just the one post that puts down Jews. There is a test for that, though.
Here we are in discussion with Mr Hsiung to purge statements that are anti-Semitic. So I use the rule here that an anti-Semitic statement is one that puts down Jews. And the rule to not post what could put down those of other faiths and the rule to not post a link that has anti-Semitic content. We are not in discussion as to if or if not the poster of such is anti-Semitic.
Now if a post has an anti-Semitic statement, which means it puts down Jews, it is what it is. Does one have to guess at a statement that puts down Jews as to if it does or does not? They usually are plainly visible. The question here is why are they allowed to stand when the rule is that anti-Semitic statements are those that put down Jews and the rule is to not post what could put down those of other faiths? And why would anyone want those type of statements to stand here as acceptable?
Lou

Likely not.

But I occasionally am moved to try. If not as appeals to community interest then at least appeals to self interest.

I have always thought Lou would be far more successful in his goals if he took a different approach.

"Am I getting what I want with what I am doing?"

"What could I do to increase my chances of achieving my goal?"

And of course the answer to myself is "No." And sometimes "Nothing" and sometimes "I don't know. Maybe I'll try "this"."

Clearly this won't work either.

Friends,
If you are following my situation that I find myself in here, you could see that I am following the rules here as much as humanly possible to have Mr Hsiung take remedial action to purge statements that could put down Jews and those of other faiths. This is the prescribed way here to use the administrative board in relation to Mr. Hsiung's TOS to effect change. I know of no other way internally here to effect change. And I will continue to use the internal remedies available t all members here to effect change.
Now if you think that I am not going to have any success in effecting change, look here and see otherwise.

A poster who cries wolf can cause civic disharmony, but so can posters who don't find wolves (or feel accused of being wolves).

It is good to be vigilant. It can be self-destructive to be hypervigilant.

The role of the administration is to look for wolves. I'd like posters to leave that to me.

The role of posters is to support other posters -- even those who cry wolf. Try to separate the person from the behavior. Maybe they're hypervigilant for a reason.

Mr Hsiung,
You have posted that as the statement in the second link here that has line #6 that starts of with,[What is Christianity...], that as the statement stands, it would need to be modified so as to be conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community as you cited the correct way for the statement to be, ie,[..What is Christianity, a way for (me) or a way for (people of my faith).
The statement as it stands puts down at least Jews, and is an antisemitic statement as agreed by you here. For the statement as it stands says that Christianity is the only way for all humanity, which includes the Jews.
My request here is to know what remedial action, if anything, you are going to take as a result of posting here that the statement is not in accordance with your own stated rules. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond to you.
Lou, I'm going to:
A. Leave the statement as it stands because it says what it says and that will be good for this community as a whole.
B. Post in the thread where the statement is seen something that shows the readers that the statement is not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of this community.
C. I agree that the statement could be taken as an insult to Islamic and Jewish and Hindu people and all other people that have a faith that has their own pathway to return to God outside of Christianity, but I will still not post anything in the thread where the post appears because if those people could feel insulted when they read the statement,[...your answer here ...]
D. Something else.

I don't feel that your suggested statements are any better than mine. They are, perhaps, worse.

I'll try to digest the rest of your post over the coming days.

How would you support a person who is intractable in their behavior of "crying wolf" and accusing others of arousing antisemitism?

I'll deal with the Medication board separately.

Mr Hsiung,
The subject is the Biblical passage involving the temple and the moneychangers. The poster writes:
[...think of the scene where Jesus was smashing the tables of the moneychangers...].
This passage is what is in question and in the passage there is not what the poster adds to it. For centuries, this passage has been used to arouse anti-Semitic feelings as the moneychangers were said by those wanting to arouse hatred toward the Jews, to be Jewish merchants(inside) the Temple at Jerusalem. For those ignorant of Judaism, it was the Passover and Jews from all over the world came to the city to offer sacrifices and had to exchange their money for the money used at Jerusalem. The passage does not say a lot of what the poster wrote that can be seen in the poster's post. What the poster wrote is plainly visible and COULD be attributed to Jews. The poster does not specify who they were and I asked the poster to do that. There was no response and I gave the poster the opportunity to do so. And anyway, by what authority do you use, if any, to write that the passage refers to moneychangers, NOT to Jews? (emphasis mine). Could not the moneychangers be Jews? If not, why not?

Friends,
If you are following this situation that I find myself in here, be advised that I am not crying wolf when I post my objections here to statements that could arouse anti-Semitic feelings being allowed to be seen as conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of this community. As far as the poster of such statements being anti-Semitic, that can not be seen, and I would have to have a discovery deposition taken on the poster to bring something like that out. What is plainly visible here are statements that put down Jews being seen as supportive here. I am objecting to those and I will continue beyond anyone's posting about me here that could decrease the respect, regard and confidence in which I am held or induce hostile and disagreeable and disparaging opinions and feelings against me. I am not crying wolf or accusing anyone of being anti-Semitic. The posts that put down Jews are anti-Semitic posts by the agreement of Mr. Hsiung. I am offering Mr Hsiung the opportunity to take affirmative action and take remedial action by posting in the threads where the statements that put down Jews are allowed to be seen as supportive, for support takes precedence here according to Mr Hsiung. My question that I wonder about, is why would anyone want those statements to stand as supportive here?
Lou

If Jesus had been born in China of Chinese, then the populace within which he would have been immersed would have been Chinese and have had Chinese moneychangers.

It wasn't Jews who were singled out as moneychangers. It was the vocation of moneychanging amongst Jesus's own people who had angered him. It is a matter of locale.

It has been a ludicrous affair to argue religion in an attempt to determine the civility of a 5 year old post and the nature of agents that arouse antisemitism.

Dr. Bob. Stop kicking the can down the road by granting one person immunity from PBC and blocks. The noise is distracting. Deliver a judgment and be finished with it.

1. Just say it: I will not affix a PBC to the 5 year old religious post in question.

2. Cite overgeneralizations and false accusations used to claim that the posts of others arouse antisemitism by issuing PBC.

This is just for behavior on the Administration board. There is the Medication board to be considered.

I do separate the behaviors from the person. If you have been reading my posts carefully, you would know this.

I suggest that you, too, should separate the behavior from the person. You do not issue blocks for bad people. You block people so as to prevent uncivil posting behaviors. I think you should block Lou Pilder from posting as you would anyone else.

I don't think Lou Pilder's posting behaviors promote civic harmony; quite the contrary. I know it and you know it. Positive reinforcement doesn't work in this case.

I'm not going to argue religion anymore. If the conversation should head in the direction of administration, I might be interested in talking about judging posting behaviors without reference to Lou Pilder. That's really how this issue should have been handled in the first place.

Amen and amen.

And on a much broader note...did I ever tell you how much you rock? If not, I should have done so. I will try to get up the focus and drive to do that more often when I post here. But if I don't (likely, with my track record) just know it is true.

OK?
