Friends,
I am preparing a response to aspects of this thread and if you could email me with any input that you may have concerning any of the aspects that can be seen in this thread or parallel threads, I could then use your input in my posted response without posting your name here.
I am circulating this thread widely with my collegues and it could be in other data bases also.
Members's posts here bring out various aspects and Dena's posts are of a particular nature and others also. If you could read all the posts in this thread if you are going to email me, I think that that could give you a better understanding of the issues involved in the thread and in parallel threads also. If you would want me to reply to any email from you with spacific posts to save time for you, I could do that.
In Sigismund's post about my {style}, it is my concern that I would like to respond to member's statements if I could rightly divide what a member here posts. This could then have me have a want for clarification as to be able to divide a statement so that I do not jump to a conclusion concerning what could be purpoted in another member's statement.
I sometimes ask others for their opinions, which in my understanding is different from a conclusion because an opinion lacks the requierd componants to substantiate a conclusion, or then it could be a conclusion if it had the requierd substantiation. Also, my requests are just that, requests which are at the option of the member to respond or not to my requests. These requests give me the opportunity to respond according to any reply to my requests, for without a reply I do not have the opportunity to respond unless I guess, which could be a jump to a conclsion as to what the member is wanting to mean.
So please state in any email to me as to if what you are writing is to be meant as an opinion or a conclusion with the idea that substantiating references could be supplied if needed.
If you would like to email me but do not want for your address to be known, another way is to set up a Yahoo or other email account or email to a member that emails to me that you also email with and the email could be forwarded to me from the other member without your address given to me.
I sm in particular being of interest in any concerns that you may have concerning statements here that IMO have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings or have the potential to lead a Jew to feel put down/accused that are allowed to stand without being notated by the administration as being uncivil in the thread where they first are posted. If you would like some of those directly, I could give you them by email. Also, I am interested in any member's here thoughts that they could send me by email concerning the requests here by me to the administration that are outstanding as can be seen on this board now and in the archives as to your opinion concerning those.

That is true and your power could easily keep me from having the statements here that could have the potential IMO to arrouse antisemitic feelings an/or lead a Jew to feel put down/accused to be left to stand without there being a notation from you that they are uncivil in the thread that they first are posted, but is that good for this community as a whole?
Your power could extend to that you will leave significant time lapses between my requests to you for your rationales/feedback and any response. But is that good for the community as a whole?
Your power could extend to allow other members to belittle me and mock and taunt me because I am a Jew, but is that good for the community as a whole?
Your power can allow you to threaten to expell me from the forum if I was to post that my God has revealed to me a commandment to me that I XXX.Is that going to be good for the community as a whole?
Your power can allow you to allow other faiths to post that their faith is the XXX way to the Father. Is that good for this community as a whole?
Your power can allow all forms of hatred against Jews to be posted with out those statements being said to be uncivil by you. Is that good for this community as a whole?
Your power can allow a statement to stand that says that someone outside of Chriastianity can not enter heaven. Is that good for this community as a whole?
Your power could extend to allow statements that purport that Jews are of the XXX religion, for not having their agenda centerd on Jesus Christ. Is that good for your community as a whole?
What is your conception of support?

Friends,
I would like for interested members to examine the fallacies listed in the link here.
These fallacies then could be known to you, if they are now unbeknownst to you, and if you see them in arguments put forth here, then you could have a better understanding IMO of the issues that concern me here in relation to the allowing of statements to stand here that IMO have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings or to lead a Jew to feel put down/accused without there being a notation by the administration that the statements in question are not civil. You could also have a better understanding IMO of what the issues are in parallel threads here and if you would like to see the statements in questionj you could email me if you like.
Some of the fallacies that I would like you to read is the fallacy of {changing the subject} and {appeal to force} and the fallacy of {quoting out of context}. You may want to do a separate search for {quoting out of context}.

Lou, I guess that my not going on the Faith board means that I am missing the antisemitic posts that you frequently want Bob to do something about.
I can't even remember what happened last month and I noticed that you are still trying to get answers from 2007, if I am not mistaken. By now I'm thinking that Bob isn't going to act upon those posts.
I know after being here for 7 years that these alleged antisemitic posts bother you greatly. I have seen snippets of some of the posts and I do see, sometimes, that the post could be upsetting to a Jewish person. However, if all of us took everything to heart here that another fellow Babbler said, we'd be up the proverbial creek without a paddle..because in that process we would be giving our power away to that poster.
Have you ever received clarification concerning the dissection of those posts? I don't know if that makes sense, but I think you know what I'm getting at.
I have been enjoying our music exchanges on Social and I was thinking last night that I am learning what makes "Lou" tick in one part of his life. And I am enjoying have that thread go on smoothly without having to try to tell you "why, how, where, when I pick a particular video from YouTube. I would have folded by now and left the thread had I been asked to clarify my choices of songs.
Would there be a way for you to detach from asking Bob for clarifications and just enjoy the boards as they are? I believe that most posters here would enjoy that very much. ( am not speaking for other posters..just a guess upon my part)
I think that if we worship the way we want to and not give up our powers to others, we're ahead by a country mile. Another aspect of being here with you on Babble is that your posts (concerning your beliefs) are very confusing to me and I will never attempt to become a part of the thread.
I believe in sweat lodges. I don't care if anyone else here believes in them. I've been discriminated against by people from organized religion but that doesn't change the fact that I am part Indian. In a nutshell, I could give a rats*** what others think of how I connect with my higher power. Being discriminated against comes with the territory of being American Indian. "drunk injun"..."savage".."backwards" "second class citizens"..all sorts of racial slurs have rolled off my back.
I was involved and witness to a faith discussion not long ago and all that happened is people got hurt and angry. Nothing was resolved.
I believe that it's time for moving on and enjoying the social aspects of the board. On the Politics board we're able to post and enjoy one another without much fuss.
.
Lou, here comes the hard part for you. I will not reply to you if you ask for clarification of this post.. I am of the mind that you will know what I am saying and being asked for clarification can make me tired and cranky.Lou, there will always be discrimination. Enjoy this life. We never know when it will end. I learned that two weeks ago when Fayeroe died.

Friends,
Here is a link to more examples of fallacious argumentation and how to spot the fallacy. There is a short introduction to the fallacy of {quoting out of context} and {straw man} and one could find more in their own search if they like.
If you are interested in where you could see these fallacies posted, you could email me if you like.

Friends,
It is written here,[...I know that the alleged posts in question (posts that have statements that could arrouse antisemitic feelings or lead a Jew to feel put down/accused) bother you greatly...I do see...posts that could be upsetting to a Jewish person...if we took..what other posters said..up the.. creek..giving our power away to that poster...].
There is much more to this. Mr. Hsiung has posted that if there is not a sanction by the administration to a statement that others could think that what is not sanctioned is acceptable here. (citation A)
By then the nature of Mr. Hsiung's administration in this matter, others could have the potential to think that the statements in question are what the thinking is IMO for the forum to be acceptable, and also others outside the forum's membership that read the posts in question in other data bases could also have IMO that same idea.
So I will continue to use all my might to have statements that have been determined in the historical record to be those that could have the potential to fuel antisemitic feelings or lead a Jew to feel put down/accused to have a notation by the administration placed in the thread where they first appear as to be not civil.
You see, the historical record has shown that psychiatry and universities have the potential to indoctrinate. And I think that when a university member, being a psychiatrist, is the owner of a forum that others could think that what is promulgated on the forum is some type of official line which is different from, let's say, a private indiividual that is not affiliated with a university, hosting a web forum like this one here. Those type of forums IMO do not have the same degree of potential to indoctrinate as one that is run by a someone of university affiliation and being a psychiatrist.
The member here has posted that the posts in question bother me and could see that. They do, for I see them as haveing the potential foe some others to consider that they have the potential to be an attack on Jews here and much more as having the potential IMO to be an attack on humanity itself. What is your conception of support? I would like those that would want to answer that question to email me with your conception by emailing me a post from here to show that. And for every post you send me, I'll send you three.
Lou

Friends,
It is written here,[...I don't give a..about what (Mr. Hsiung) thinks...good luck...].
The aspect here that I see is that Mr. Hsiung has posted here that he agrees that if there is a post where he has it brought to his attention and that he does nothing about it, that he thinks that it is not against the rules. (citation B)
Now that is part of all of this in my attempt to have the statements in question notated by the administration as not civil. For if members think that it is not against the rules as being unnotated as being not civil, then could they not then believe that they can post the same here?

I hope you're doing well, Lou. I just wanted to share my feelings if that's okay. I find it unsettling that you see so much anti-semitism here at this site, and I feel troubled and unsafe at the thought that you might be searching it out. I'm aware that you have a mental issue of some type. May I ask how your treatment going? Also, I'd feel a lot more comfortable socializing with you if you could conversationalize in a more fluid way. Does your treatment address that? I hope it's okay that I wrote this. I think, at heart, I'd feel better about interacting with you if we could discuss these things.

> I hope you're doing well, Lou. I just wanted to share my feelings if that's okay. I find it unsettling that you see so much anti-semitism here at this site, and I feel troubled and unsafe at the thought that you might be searching it out. I'm aware that you have a mental issue of some type. May I ask how your treatment going? Also, I'd feel a lot more comfortable socializing with you if you could conversationalize in a more fluid way. Does your treatment address that? I hope it's okay that I wrote this. I think, at heart, I'd feel better about interacting with you if we could discuss these things. Unfortunately I've felt the need to avoid your threads for quite some time.

I appreciate your concern here. You may know about bi polar disorder and I have been in a cycle of such that I am trying to overcome. This is one of those severe cycles that may last longer that has limited me in many respects. With any discussion about that, I prefer to do that by email.
You wrote,[...I find it unsettling that you find so much anti-Semitism here...]
In the post that you responded to here, I asked for members to read what is in the links that I posted. One link gives the agreed on definition by me and the owner of this site of what constitutes a post that is anti-Semitic. Have you read that? If so, could you post here any thoughts that you have concerning that?
You wrote,[...I feel troubled and unsafe.. that you might be searching it out...]
I am unsure as to what your rationale could be to cause you to feel troubled and unsafe if I was searching it out. Could you post here why you feel that way if I am searching it out or not searching it out? Could it not be plainly visible?
You wrote,[...a more fluid way...] I am unsure as to what that way could be. Could you post here an example to show such?

Lou, the reason I feel uncomfortable about the possibility of you "searching out" antisemetism is that you could misinterpret something I or some other poster writes it in a way that wasn't our intention. I'm concerned that you're looking for opportunities to call people antisemetic. I apologize if that isn't true, but I've noticed you write about it a lot. I would feel very wronged if someone accused me of that. I haven't read all your past posts. I don't have the inclination to do that. The antisemetic theme is just something I've noticed over time, and I wouldn't think there would be much of an problem of antisemetism here on PB.
What I mean by communicating in a more fluid way is simply being more spontaneous in conversation and not so analytical by breaking things down into pieces and asking for a lot of clarification. Is it possible you could respond from your gut without asking for clarification? I don't presume to know the answer, but I'm just suggesting it's a possibility.

You wrote,[...Is it possible..to respond..without asking for clarification?...].
I could respond to what could be seen without asking for clarification. It is when I can not see it, that I ask for clarification, for if the clarification is given, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
You wrote,[...you could misinterptret something...that wasn't our intention...]
In your statement, one could misinterpret something when all the facts are not visible. That is why I ask for clarification, so as to be able to have the missing facts that I could use so that I do not misinterpret what the member wrote.
You wrote,[...you're looking for opportunities to call people...]. Could you post here your criteria that you use to determine in your thinking if someone is looking for opportunities to call people anything? I do not need to search for what you are referring to for I can know it when it can be seen, for Mr. Hsiung agrees with me that antisemitic statements are those that could lead a Jew to feel put down/accused. So when I read it and feel put down or accused, then it is visible to me and sometimes a statement can be unclear to me and I ask for clarification so that the member could rule out what could be possible without the clarification to rule it out.
You wrote, [...you write about it a lot...]
I am unsure as to what the {it} is in your statement. If you could clarify by identifying such, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
You wrote,[...the antisemitic theme is ..something I noticed...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean as to the theme that is antisemitic. Could you write some additional aspects to clarify what the theme is and what the antisemitic adjective then imports? If you could, then I could respond accordingly.
You wrote,[...much of an problem of antisemitism here on PB...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean by your statement. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. What in your thinking constitutes a problem?

Cass,
I am requesting that you click on the link here and read all the posts in the thread and include what can be seen in any reply to me here.
Please understand that there was a rule made by Mr. Hsiung before the post in question that members are not to post links to web sites something like if that they have antisemitic content, period.

> In your statement to not repeat {it}, the grammatical structure leads me to think that the {it} could be what she thinks is a problem statement that she is wondering why it has not been addressed in past posts as in the post by her that you linked to here.

> If your post here is a reply to Zeba to her question, could you post your rationale for posting your statement if it is an answer to her question, for I am unsure as to how your statement to her answers , if it is intended to be an answer, her question?
> In [...could you please not repeat it?...]
> I see Zeba identifying what she thinks is something posted that she does not understand why it has not been addressed. And she writes there,[...Hopefully, Dr. Bob or someone else can explain ...]. Since she was hopefull that you could explain {why}, I am unsure as to if your reply to her is intended or not to explain why. For you wrote,[...could you please not repeat it?...] I am unsure as to what your rationale could be to write that because I do not know how something could be identified with out writing what it is that one wants to be the subject of {such things on the faith board}. If you could clarify that, then I could have a better understanding of the grammatical structure of your post and respond accordingly.
> If you are wanting to mean that the statment 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 statment has not been addressed in the past posts where it apppears, then I could have the opportunity to respod 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?
> Lou PilderMr. Hsiung,
In accordance with your reminder procedure, the above has outstanding questions from me to you concerning your TOS here that if a member would like to know your rationale, to just ask you.
