Well Lou
Things could be worse. I remember a time when Christianity was antisemitic. Now, especially in the US, there is Christian Zionism. Is that Hal Lindsay? Anyway, I don't think there is much point in going through past posts. For myself, I would like Christians to take responsibility for their demonology, not only in Christianity, but wherever it spreads to, about which it would be uncivil to make further reference.

If we shouldn't even bring attention to something that's previously posted, due to how problematic it is -- why is such a problematic thing allowed to remain in place...?

Keeping in mind that the idea here is to be sensitive to those of all religions, could you please clarify or rephrase the above?

OK
Lou has been concerned with posts that he has felt to be antisemitic and have been allowed to stand, in contrast to the threat to block him should he mention what the Rider said to him.
Some of these posts have mentioned or been linked to the following passages
John 5, verse 16:
'the Jews persecuted Him and sought to slay Him'
verse 18:
'The Jews sought more to kill Him'
verse 23
'He that honoureth not the son honoureth not the Father'.The history of Christian antisemitism has been informed by such passages from the Bible. The relationship of such passages to the antisemitism of the Nazi regime is more tenuous, but many Christians, since WWII, have worried that the foundations of their faith may have been a contributing factor to the demonology of the Nazis.

I think this statement is fine.
But some of those verses should not be posted on this site, so you shouldn't quote them on Admin either. The fact that they're in the Bible doesn't mean that they can be posted on board.
Also, Babble might not be the proper place to express some of your views about the history of Christianity, for the same reasons.
Your freedom of speech is limited here.
Regarding the history on this site. It is unfortunate if in the past antisemitic statements have gone without censure. The deputies are very sensitive to antisemitic content, and we'll do our best to make sure that we enforce the already existing rules about sensitivity and civility to those of all religions. Dr. Bob is clear that he doesn't wish to allow statements that could lead those of any religion to feel accused or put down. But he doesn't go back years to add PBC's, and he just doesn't remove posts even if they are uncivil. There are some good reasons for this, including technical reasons such as the fact that a PBC is generally considered to cover all preceding actions. He has said many times that he prefers to look forward rather than go back, and I think posts that are years old will probably not be adjusted now, based on my knowledge of his traditional behaviors.
I don't know why Lou isn't allowed to post what the Rider said to him. My understanding of the rules is as I outlined in another post. If what he wishes to post falls into the what's allowable, or if it can be edited to fall within what's allowable, then he can post it.

Its a fallen f*ck*d world.
We may as well try and make the best of it and do our best to build up, not tear down, to be kind and try to not cause more pain than there already is. Just to try and do as best we can (which at times may not seem like much), just keep going.
WTF else can we do?

I am unsure as to what you are using as criteria to determine in your mind to constitute a belief. I am also unsure as to what you consider to be the administration.

I daresay I mean the administration of the site. The way it's run.
I know my fellow deputies better than I know Dr. Bob, so I can state affirmatively that they are not antisemitic.
I am not in Dr. Bob's confidence or his life, but I have no reason to believe that he is antisemitic.
I will assume that you did not mean to imply in any way that any of the administration is antisemitic.

Thank you for your clarification. I think that you are meaning now in my request {something else} which is the way the site is {administrated} which is what I was wanting clarification of and was not intending to imply that anyone is antisemitic.
The clarification request was because the word {administration} could have different meanings. One is that the word means the body of persons who administer, and the other is {the way the administrators perform which is generally the managemnet. I was wanting for you to declare what you were wanting to mean so that I could respond accordingly and others perhaps could also have a better understanding of what you were wanting to mean. Here is a dictionary definition for administrtaion:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/administration
Now that we have clarified that your statement that if the {administration was antisemitic means to you that it is the way the site is {administered}, I now have a better understanding of what you wanted to mean in,[...If I thought that the administration of the site was antisemitic...].

If you are considering being a discussant in this thread, I would like for you to email me if you would like to see what are generally considered to be the accepted criteria that determine as to if a school, or a club, or a government or some other body of members of some sort of community is or is not antisemitic as to how it is run. These criteria have been determined by the historical record from tranascripts of trials where this has been wanting to be determined.

I see that the administration (the system, not the individuals) here is fear-based, and thus various religious/spiritual beliefs get maligned, both intentionally and unintentionally (by various posters), and that a great many harmful things are swept under the rug, rather than resolved.
I see that those unresolved things fester, and do not remain under said rug, but breed there (much like a malignancy), and thus an atmosphere of distrust, unsafety, and repression is fostered, which backfires on the very purpose of this group.
I'm not sure that I would say that it's specifically *only* antisemitic, as I've seen other groups/belief systems maligned as well. I see it across the board more clearly, now that I'm no longer aligned with any particular religious group. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I can see that other dogs are indeed getting kicked to the curb, and that their pain is being dismissed (NOT that I'm calling *any* person here a "dog" -- just building on a metaphor).
Having said that, I am heading out of state for a wedding, and do not have time to comment further, nor to respond, should anyone reply to this.

I'm sorry, Lou. If you're looking for a written list of criteria, I fear I can't give you what you're looking for. I don't even think I could explain it informally without referring back to what I said before.
Thank you for clarifying that you weren't implying that any of the administration was antisemitic.
I think we all do our best. We all fall short of perfection, I'm sure.

Sorry for the delay, Dinah -- I've been out of town the last several days.
I'm also sorry that what I said hurt you -- that wasn't my intention. I tried to avoid that by saying that I saw problems with the *system* here in the administration, not with the *individuals*. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you, personally. I see you as a person trying to make a difference for others, trying to make this world (your corner of it, your sphere of influence) a better place -- but I see that you're quite hampered by a system that attempts (likely through good, yet controlling intentions) to keep things "in check"... I see that system backfiring, and actually causing more harm than it's trying to prevent.
Again -- my opinion, based on my experience, and my observations. YMMV.

> > If you are wanting to mean that the statement in question could be an accusation, because I think that you had previously posted something about {repeating the accusation},I do not see as identifying something as repeating what it says as an accusation toward anyone, for in her post I do not see where she is charging anyone with the statement in question, but wondering why it had not been addressed in previous posts. If you could give your rationale for asking her not to post what she is wondering why the statement has not been addressed in the past posts where it appears, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
> > In the subject line,[...why such things are allowed to stand..] is any part of your post to Zeba a rationale for allowing the statements in question to stand? If so could you post your rationale and then I could respond accordingly?

Thanks for asking, muffled.
I don't know how Dr. Bob feels about using proper titles. My reason for editing is not about Dr. Bob, rather, it's about how I was brought up and what I believe regarding addressing others using titles. And it's about inferences I've made regarding this specific behavior. It's a personal thing for me. I'm sure I'll get bored with it sooner or later. :)
Warmly,
gg

> Like the Mom likes to be called MRS. Muffled by the kids right? Like she don't like the kids using her first name cuz SHE wants a title, even LOL it just ol Mrs!!!!!lol, something like that, though I remember quite clearly meeting a new neighbor who said, "And the kids can call me [First name]" and my mom quickly said, "They'll call you Mrs. X." That's how I was brought up. Elders were Mr. or Mrs. or Dr. or whatever, not something other than the utmost respect. At least until they invited you to call them something else, and even then, not until we were adults ourselves.
> But now there's ANUTHER mystery cuz I be thinking bout the gg, and I thinking mebbe I know you!!!It's me. I got a bit worried about my privacy recently, and so I changed my name slightly. It looks weird to me, but I tried to keep it as something that would seem familiar.

Hey, glad to see you :-) Good name choice.
Sorry last post was unclear.
But I am the Mom and where we live the majority of kids call adults by their first names and I hate it!
I was brought up same as you. Even in adulthood I still felt uncomfortable calling adults by first name.
My Dad has a doctorate, but he rarely if ever used his title. he was a first name or just Mr. mostly.
He came from hardscrabble beginnings and worked hard to get his doctorate, but he also understood that others who worked just as hard didn't have titles for whatever reason.
So thats why I tend to avoid the Dr. title. Dr. Bob is not MY Dr., so he is Bob to me.
Cuz maybe I too had the smarts for a doctorate but I didn't have the mental health or money to do so.
Doesn't make me less than the guy with the title.
Doesn't mean the guy with the title doesn't got plenty of his own probs.
Just different ones.
We all got our own life path.
So I call Dr. R. Hsiung just Bob, because he is no better OR worse!!!! LOL! than me.
:-)
OK rant over!
Thanks for reminding me that my Dad is a good guy. I should visit.
This has been fun, thanks.
