Most people know that. Lou is more sensitive than most because he is wholly holy. I am helly, however, so I just wanted to add a little Jewish rah-rah to even it out after that crazy double-chinned guy's web site.
Really, he looks a lot nicer than that--sort of Willard Scott-y. Who'da thunk it?

Thank you for your comforting post. You said more than you think you said. "---for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."

The jesus of Nazi Germany? I really hope and pray you aren't referring to Hitler....
There's only one Jesus...Jesus Christ, heard of Him? I'm curious as to why you didn't add Him...
'Which' one says all Jews are going to hell, or that Noah was white?

I don't agree with that....you have to look at the entire post, know the 'person', etc.....sarcasm, disagreement, etc., are valid reasons to add a URL to a post without adding an "Official Disclaimer".
May I ask why you "need" Kid_a to post a disclaimer? How can you say that by posting a link without a disclaimer means Kid_a hates you? Isn't that a little extreme?
Don't you find that statement a little 'accusatory' and overgeneralizing?

Kiddo,
Thank you for joining this discussion. Here in Cincinnati, each year the Klu Klux Klan puts up a white cross on our public square. They say that their jesus condemms all black people, jews, catholics and all other religions to hell. They have a perverted doctrin that Noah was white and thearfor all of his decendants were white and thearfore only white people are "saved". I fought the Klan for years and had to learn about their jesus. The Noah doctrin may be to only some Klan members, for there are numerous off-shoots. I have also run into the White Aryan groups and have found out about their jesus. They worship Hitler. They display the swastika and openly kill jews and blacks. Hitler said that he was doing God's will in his "final solution to the jewish problem. And when anyone raises that ugly head of anti-Semitism, I will try to put it down.

1. The increase in your posts re: the abuse/addiction, etc. of meds even when prescribed for valid uses such as the illnesses the people on this site suffer from.
2. Your continued "preaching". I cannot for the life of me see what is different re: your posts as they swerve into continuous religious territory and Sal's comments that got him banned, a couple of times I believe. In fact his were less intrusive - they tended to concern an organization, not a belief.
I just wanted you to know I am doing this. Hopefully you will not come back with "It's my right", etc., etc. It's Dr. Bob's decision, obviously, but I don't Think it is your right here.
I truly Believe you are becoming dangerous to the board, dangerous to people whose very lives may depend on the meds that they take. Dangerous to those who are feeling weak and depressed because of their mental illness, and who may seek solace SOLEY in religion, rather than approaching it from all angles, including a Dr.'s opinion.
I would like it if we all, especially myself, would just ignore you, but that doesn't happen. You occasionally post witty and insightful, non-crown threads, and I'm GUESSING that folks hope it's a sign you're getting off your high white horse.
Such is not the case.
- kk
p.s. I mean no disrespect at all to Christians, which is still what I would call Lou based on his "teachings". I would love to have a discussion about religion here, but have finally realized it's not the place, except in the broadest terms, i.e. terms of faith, meditation/prayer, spirituality, or non-spirituality. And even that is tricky.

Kiddo,
I asked for a disclaimer for without one the post stands for what it says. Are you saying that anyone on this board could post anything that they want to, including hate , and then just say that they were kidding?
If that were the case, than there would be no end to the hate, the ridicule, the taunting, the jeering, and evrything else that comes from a hatefull mind. I thought that my request was in good faith because it allowed the poster to determine his/her intent. I hope that all the posters here give me the same consideration. I am not asking for any discipline to be taken towards the poster, but only clarification.
Thanks for your interest in this matter,
Lou

Lou-
What I'm saying is that this is an online forum-no body language, tone or facial expression to discern what the poster is intending. If you are familiar with a poster, their style, sense of humor, etc., then it's much easier to understand.
I think that anyone can post anything they want according to the FAQ. Since a lot of that is very general in nature, I guess the ball is in Doc Bob's court.
You are welcome on the thanks for my interest in this matter :-)Kiddo

Im sorry to say this Lou, but I'm persoanlly sick and tired of all the Gates, the Horsemen, the Crowns, and whatever logic you construe as your personal twist of saving grace.
------------------------Hi Kid_A,
I don't want to stir this pot further, and I do not want to offend anyone. Therefore, please categorize this post as "informational only".
Due to the fact that the University of Chicago receives federal (US) grant monies, it is illegal to discriminate against public speech on this site solely due to the fact that the speech happens to be religious in nature. In other words, the law does not allow for censorship of religious speech merely because some, or even most, of the public forum participants vote to discriminate against said type of speech.
Having said this, I can also see the other side of the issue. For example, what if someone were to flood this site with a bazillion posts daily that contain religious speech? In this hypothetical case, it would be legal to, for example, limit the number of allowable posts per day of ALL POSTERS, but it would be illegal to selectively censor only those posts that contain religious speech.
Best Wishes.
-- Ron

In reply to Lou - I'm asking Dr. Bob to review two things..., posted by krazy kat on May 22, 2002, at 15:07:47
Krazy Kat,
In my post that you referr to, I stated that there were people that I knew that had overcome their afflictions and...some kept using their drugs untill they got the power to go without them...
At the end of that post, I also made the disclaimer that I was not advocating that people stop their drugs "unless they do so with their doctor".
You see, what I am telling people here is that there is a power that they can get to help them overcome. this isn't something that I read or was told. What I have been telling in the Road actually happenend to me. I was filled with the power of God and I had never read a bible.I know nothing of the new testament for I am jewish. The Rider in the Road is not the world's jesus. But this will become evident when I finish the last 2 Gates. Then a clear picture will emerge.

Dr. Bob's rules and regulations have been checked out by several authorities (including Lawrence Lessig, a constitutional lawyer, law professor, and author of at least two books on cyberspace and law). The speech he restricts here--including those posts by your Salvation Army friend--are perfectly legal. Your sign-up at this site is based on your willingness to follow the rules here, University of Chicago funding or not.

As I said in my previous post I have neither the time, inclination, or desire to preruse the entire context of a site that for all purposes I had no advance warning had any amount of anti semitic remarks contained within... And, given the context of what I post, I do not feel it is within the realm of my responsibility to provide some sort of disclaimer concerning the possible offense that someone may take against some part of content that I neither ENDORSE nor did I WRITE... And where did you get the notion, from what context of my post did you infer that I DID endorse said content???I am not posting what I feel may be possibly OFFESNSIVE material, by and large the site is just an amalgamation of crackpot conspiracy and idiocy, and I found it humorous in that context... I DO NOT, TO SATISFY YOUR INQUIRY find antisemitism the least bit amusing, and I find your acusation to defend my innocense unjust and insulting...
to quote you "I asked for a disclaimer for without one the post stands for what it says."
yes it does, it stands for the fact that there is a lone and disturbed individual in this world with too much time on his hands, fanatical ideas not just inclusive of anti-semitism, with unfortunate access to a html editor... thats about it Lou.

Kiddo,
Funny you should ask since about five minutes ago I was lamenting the fact that I failed to include a disclaimer at the end of my prior post.
I am not an attorney. The information in my prior post was communicated to me by an attorney. He has argued numerous cases before the US Supreme Court and has won a couple of important landmark cases. Therefore, he should know what he is talking about.

2 points:
1. Ron: these Boards are *not* publically funded. Dr Bob has made it clear that he pays from his personal money for the server space, and all the work on the boards is done in his own time. So no U of Chicago funding is used. And the civility policy is explicit. So can you please consider that really carefully before bringing this up again? If you feel that any sort of civility policy is a breach of free speech in general and want to discuss that, fine(tho any of us may choose to disagree). But the legal perspective does not appear to fit the facts.
2. We dont have to read Lou's posts, and get drawn into these debates. Of course, we can choose to read them. But I havent regretted stopping reading these threads, personally. It does concern me that they may put off people new to the board, or 'lurking'.
Sorry- this sounds stroppier than I meant it to. I would just like things to calm down a little, and also dont want people to be bogged down when its avoidable.
I dont need a reply from either of you, tho of course you may want to post in response. Lou: please dont take the time to reply to this post with a post for me, as I wont be reading any more posts in this thread.
