Lou now I'm concerned about you. It's just my feeling that you have possibly crossed the line into delusional thinking. No one sent you here. Did Dr Bob write you and ask you to come to babble and save people from taking medications? Are you yourself now off your medications? If so I seriously feel you should see your doc and be evaluated. Who is this white horse? Do others see the white horse? Phillipa

Well, I can see where that would pose a problem. Most of the rest of us consider ourselves part of a community, and value the ties with each other. Therefore we try to be respectful of each other, and consider the impact of our words on each other.

Maybe at some time, I could consider it appropriate to do so, but not now.

You wrote,[...most of us consider ourselves part of the community...try to b respectful..].Mr Hsiung has laid the foundation here of what it means to be respectful. I do not want people to adopt his views about Jews. If it is a condition for me to accept Mr Hsiung's attitude toward Jews here that accuses the Jews of what follows in the link to come here, then I would be rejecting the God that I give service and worship to.
Now Mr Hsiung states that what is allowed to stand could be considered to be supportive and good for this community as a whole. And Mr Hsiung states tha he does not wait to sanction uncivility, for one match could stat a forest fire. Yet today, the requests from me to Mr Hsiung here are still outstanding. And the fire of hatred toward the Jews is still burning here.
Now Mr Hsiung states that what he does also something like what is allowed "reflects the posting policies here." Our Scott brought this up here in his post about Jean Jacques Rousseau. There is much that has been minipulated by Mr Hsiung, or someone that has the password to change the post's content here, that if those posts were restored to their original, more of this could be seen here. But the hatred toward those that worship the God that the Jews worship is still posted by clicking twice. Mr Hsiung opted for his own reasons to leave Rousseau's statement that is an insult to those that worship the God that the Jews give service and worship to on the board and could be thought by some to "reflect the posting policies here." Just click on the table of contents on the faith board provided by Mr Hsiung that brings up Rousseau's wrting that is the foundation of fascism shared by Mussolini and other fascists that added promulgation of hatred toward the Jews.
Well, I say to you, that if I have to accept Mr Hsiung's attitude toward Jews and others that believe in the God that the Jews do, then what does that say "respect" means here?
Friends, I have asked for those that want to comment on posts like this in the link here to go to the admin board and post on those threads there so that I can respond to you there. If you could, then I could have a way to know if you also do or do not support Mr. Hsiung's attitude toward Jews, for schleprock has done so, and some others also. Then I could have some way to know who my brethren are here.
Lou

The key word is "brethren".
In my estimation, it is productive to acknowledge that we are ALL brothers and sisters. I don't like the term "tolerance" so much. It serves to perpetuate the notion that we are more different than we are alike, and that it reinforces in our minds that there exists a segregation of peoples to be tolerated rather than embraced.

> And the fire of hatred toward the Jews is still burning here.
I find that unbelievably offensive, Lou. There's no fire of hatred burning towards Jews here. This is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about.
And I don't know what on earth gave you the idea that Dr. Bob has any notions at all about Jews. I've never known him to have any particular feelings about any religion at all, or to show any particular familiarity with any religion. I have no private knowledge of his personal beliefs, but I'd tend to believe it's not a prime concern to him if he's religious at all.
Moreover, to my knowledge, while Dr. Bob deletes posts from blocked posters, and occasionally removes private information from posts, he doesn't alter posts otherwise.
I suppose I believe you believe that. But that's part of the civility rules, Lou. You can believe whatever you want, true or false. But you're not allowed to make accusations - no matter how true you believe them to be.
But Lou, have you not noticed that Dr. Bob is ignoring everyone's notifications? Mine included? He's not monitoring the boards! I suppose it's barely possible that he might deign to honor us with his presence on an irregular basis, and that might keep us somewhat in line. But he's not routinely replying to anyone's notifications. I've pretty much quit trying. Learned helplessness.
Lou, I'm giving you the credit and dignity of holding you to the same standards as everyone else, no matter how unlikely I consider your beliefs on Dr. Bob or anything else to be.
But Lou, his prohibitions against telling everyone who doesn't believe as you do that they're wrong or evil or going to h*ll is not limited to the Jewish faith. Plenty of Christians have been told that as well. As have Democrats and Republicans. His rules were made to keep divisive topics like religion and politics to interfere with the primary purpose of the board.
Really, Lou. I wasn't feeling overly fond of Dr. Bob, and you've made me not only defend him, but actually like and support him again.
This is what I meant by pragmatism. You started out with one goal but achieved a different one - Dr. Bob's goal.
We're all your brethren Lou. Being your brethren doesn't mean we have to agree with everything you say. Perhaps you could use the phrase "followers" instead.

The fire of hatrd toward the Jews is still burning here. And as long as members here want to defend Mr Hsiung for allowing the post to go unsanctioned, then the longer the fire hate burns here.
In this post, which is in the archives that people can access at their will, hatred toward the Jews is spewed out upon the members here. And as long as members here deny the reality that the statements are there unsanctioned that stoke the furnace of hate, hatred toward the Jews, then longer the flame burns.

It's a very lucky thing from your point of view.
Perhaps you should stop complaining about his lack of replies to notifications.

If anyone wants you to believe that there are not posts here that defame Jews and Islamic people and stoke the fire of hatred toward Jews and Islamic people and others, that is simply a lie. And the lie will be perpetuated as long as the posts remain unsanctioned..
Here the insult to Islam and Juwdaism and other faiths is allowed to stand. Yet Mr Hsiung states that suport takes precedence. So the top ten worst reasons for a religion can be seen as being supportive here as in the second list , #5.
I do not accept Mr Hsiung's rationales/excuses or whatever else he wants to use to justify allowing hate to be promulgated here, hatred toward the Jews, hatred toward Islamic people, hatred to others for any reason, to be spread in this community. And for those that want to be on Mr Hsiung's side to allow him to let the posts stand, you support what is allowed. And what this post in the link here purports is a lie, and anyone that wants to support Mr Hsiunhg is supporting a lie. Look at the 2end list, #5.
Lou

Maybe we'd all feel better about Lou if we thought of him like that. It's not as if he's a walking advertisement for what he espouses - not taking medications no matter what the circumstances.
If I were of a suspicious disposition, which I'm not, I'd wonder if he was being paid by Big Pharmaceutical.
Ok, I'm off to lie down and let the klonopin calm my nerves. I may stay off babble for a bit or my interaction with Lou might get me addicted to benzos.

I have become dispassionate to the writings of Lou Pilder, and do not take them personally. I generally avoid his posts because I find them to be generally misinformed and wholly uninteresting. My only concern is really how his posts affect others, particularly with regards to psychiatric medicines and death. In my estimation, Lou Pilder is spreading the disinformation that he finds elsewhere on the Internet. So, from time to time, I will challenge him and present my own fact-checks and ask him to validate his conclusions. Invariably, Lou Pilder does not address my challenging questions, but rather, obfuscates my line of questioning by ignoring it or by changing the subject.
The previous paragraph may contain what Dr. Bob considers to be uncivil put-downs. If so, I would really like to know from him which statements are uncivil and why. Perhaps Dr. Bob could do the same thing with Lou Pilder. The appearance of selective enforcement is to be avoided, though. I believe that there is a fine line to be navigated by Dr. Bob should he decide to enact a posting block against Lou Pilder.

It is written above. And it could lead people to have antisemitic feelings toward me . This is because of the use of {scapegoating}.
There is historical parallel to this post as in the fallacy called, {poisoning the well}. You could research that fallacy and see wheer it came from and how it is used toward Jews. The plant in your mind that could happen here could cause me to be a victim of antisemitic violence.
You see, there are people that read here that could take what Dinah has said about me as truth,but it is a lie that she has to take psychotropic addicting drugs because I have had dialog with her here. Dialog with her in relation to that she innitiated the dialog. I am responding to the accusation that I have caused her to take an addicting drug.
Scapegoating can be a part of fascism. The historical record is undeniable in that respect. Here, I am responsble and blamed and scapegoated.
You here that want me expelled, blocked or whatever sanction to be made to me fall into the realm of scapegoating also. For you are blaming me for whatever, but Dinah is allowed to use me as a scapegoat and the people that want me sanctioned are not addressing the scapegoating that leads me to feel accused and put down.

It's generated from a place of hatred that you project on others, not just here, but society in general.
Look in the mirror Lou and you will see your problem.
You are obsessed with finding fault in others that don't exist but I don't ever remember you saying, maybe I was wrong, maybe I misjudged. No, it's your way or the highway.
Man up Lou, you are trying to make people admit fault when the fault lies within you, not them.
You are the hater, you're ego trumps your mind. You can't love because you have to be right. You can't support others because they are wrong.You are tangled in a web of hatred and self-deception. I know as I write this that it will fall on deaf ears and a closed mind.
There can only be one God and you aren't him. Fact is you hate people because no one knows the answers like you do. Are you proud to be king?
You use words to hurt people and you are the one that will ruin this board because others admit faults as you assign blame.Dozens or more have left long ago not just because of Dr Bob but because of you. Are you proud of chasing mentally ill people away because you are never wrong and your ego has turned your heart to coal?
It's ironic that the person here in most need of professional help is the one twisting others' words and telling them that they don't need meds, they need you.
Do you ever stop posting, take a break, take a walk and see the beauty around you? Or do you plot and plan your next one thousand posts that make no sense to anyone but you.
You hate more than anyone you accuse and it's only hurting you.
Have you ever laughed? Have you ever apologized?
Have you ever thought, wow, I can't believe I said that? Have you ever said you're sorry?
Even though I'm trying, there's is no getting through to you. You want the world to follow you and quite frankly you are the scary one. SCARY.
You believe you are superior to others.
You will miss out on opportunities to learn from other people's opinions.
You have to be right to feel important.
Your thinking is linear or one-dimensional.
You have a tendency to dominate a conversation, unable to converse properly, listen or have a normal back and forth dialog. You are only fixated on your opinion and cannot wait for the other person to finish speaking to counter their viewpoint. In some cases you may even interrupt the other person to interject what you need to say.
You have to prove you are right as a way of putting others down or criticizing them. It gives you a feeling of winning, which empowers you.
If you are wrong you feel flawed, inferior, or upset.
Your identity is dependent on your need to feel that you are right.That's all I have to say, buddy. I don't want to be hurtful but I have to wonder if you can feel. These are the last words I'll ever say to you.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Bob. When he did show up above, it had to do with the technical problems with the board. He saw what was going on and his reply held no hint of his being interested in moderating.
Basically Lou can accuse us of whatever he likes. We can accuse him of whatever we like.
Oh happy day at babble.
I get really offended at charges of antisemetism, no matter who makes them. Sure, I usually decide Lou's not worth dealing with, because it seems pretty clear what is going on with Lou. But over time he's gotten more and more open in his accusations. It makes the place unpleasant. And I'm frankly mad as fire that Bob has left us to deal with things as best we can while giving us no tools whatsoever to do so.
The best choice for me is to go back to being mostly gone from this unmoderated board.

Phillipa,
I have had one encounter with some of Hubbard's lieutenants many years ago. I remember that night in May. Something came over me and I spoke to them for a long time without interruption. After I finshed speaking to them, they fell on the ground and one said, "Surely there is a God."

It doesn't really matter what we do. Whether Lou is uncivil to us and we're uncivil back, or if Lou is uncivil to us and we just sit and eat it, Babble wouldn't be a pleasant place to be.
I don't actually like being uncivil any more than I like receiving incivility. Lou will never stop no matter what. I guess that's not his fault. This is, after all, a mental health board. It was the same way with my family. You can feel all the compassion in the world for someone disruptive, but that doesn't make it easier or more pleasant to be in their vicinity.
The only thing that could possibly make the place bearable, I think, is if we all found humor in Lou's behavior. That's not really likely to happen either.
What's the use? I just don't like unmoderated boards. Never have, never will.
