According to Dr. Bob's rules of civility, I think Lou has a point. I guess it depends on how such a reference is worded. It would be nice if Lou were to receive some guidance from Dr. Bob as to how to view this apparent conflict. I remain neutral in this matter. Perhaps Dr. Bob has already addressed this issue. I don't know.

hummmmmmm.
Although that is part of this situation here that involves my requests to Mr. Hsiung and his deputy that are outstanding, the overiding request from me to Mr. Hsiung is for him to post in the thread in question as to if he considers the statement in question to be {supportive} or not. For as of now readers can think that the statement is supportive on the grouunds that Mr Hsiung's TOS states that support is what the forum is for and that support takes precedence. That could have the potential IMHO to mean to readers that what is seen is what is considered to be supportive unlesss it is notated by the administration as not being supportive, like all the other posts here that the administration has sanctioned on those grounds.
But it is much more than that to me. You see, the statement in question precludes Jews and others that do not accept the claim that (redacted by respondent) Jesus that are the {only} set of people that could have forgivness and eternal life. The use of the word {only} precludes all others than what set of people the statement includes. This could mean then that the 1 1/2 million Jewish children murdered in the years from 1933 to 1945 and all those that have ever lived and never heard of that Christian claim or rejected the claim in question are without forgivness and eternal life. The poster states that the bible says that. Really? And I am prohibited from answering the poster's claim because of Mr. Hsiung's prohibitions here.
So what I am asking for members to do is:
A. Post in that thread as to if or if not you consider the claim in question supportive or not.
B. And also to post there your concern, if you have such, as to that you also would like for Mr. Hsiung to post there the answer to my request to him.
You see, as long as my request remains outstanding, others could think that Mr. Hsiung allows the statement in question to stand, and then there is the potential IMHHHO for some others to take what is claimed to be considerd by the community in toto to be what the community wants to promulgate, unless members post there that they do not consider the statement to be supportive to them. You see, the community can also controll what is thought to be promulgated by the administration by protesting and speaking out and rising up to what they think is not what they condone by the administration.
So as long as there are not members posting there that do not want others to think that they condone what is seen, then there is the potential IMHO for other readers to think that the members are in agreement with the administration.
Now if the President of The United States appeared on national television and said what the post in question says, I would protest and let others know tthat I am not in agreement with him. In fact, I would use all my might to impeach him if he said that.
You can think about it, but the consequences to the Jews and others that do not accept the claim in question will be ongoing until Mr. Hsiung posts there to state as to if he does or does not consider the statement in question supportive. Those consequences could be the murder of Jews and others that do not accept that claim by those that visit this site and get their idea in their minds from reading the statement in question to murder those that the claim excludes fro forgivness and eternal life. Do you want to support that possibility? If not, could you take this opportunity to post in that thread your opinion as to if the statement in question is supportive or not?
