The author's statements in the post that I am responding to could have the potential, IMHO, to lead others to see me in a false light which could decrease the respect and regard and confidence in which I am held and induce hostile disagreeable opinions and feelings against me. This is because the author does not cite any URLs to substantiate what he posted here about me so that readers could know what he uses to write such about me, nor do I have the opportunity to respond accordingly and show the context as to what his statements are in.
You see, the author writes that there is a drama here, and I could be thought to be a subject person in that drama since the persons are not identified. And more than that, the author writes that there are many reasons for fewer posts here.
But it is much more than that. You see, the author writes,[...even sls is gone for a bit. (I) don't BLAME him...].(emphasis mine)
Now an association has the potential to be formed with sls leaving for a bit and that there was a "drama", which I could be thought to be a subject person in such. The author does not state why he doesn't {blame} him for leaving. This could induce, IMO, the thinking of some here that he is {justified}, since there is no blame to sls, for him to leave here. This could IMO transfer blame being attributed to me as a cause for him leaving since there is not a reason stated as to why the author does not blame him for leaving and I do not know why the author states that he left {for a bit}. How does the author know that?
The summery of this is that IMHO I could be thought to be the cause by some readers of that there are fewer posts here, which could IMHO stigmatize me and lead some others to consider me to be used as a scapegoat for the real or imagined ills of this community and lesser posting here. For if sls is to be not blamed for leaving, then there could be the arousing to some to think that there is a blame, and that blame IMHO could be put on me by the nature that the drama could be thought to be between me and sls in particular, but not limited to just us.
I do not want to be thought to be the blame for anyone leaving here. I abide by the prohibitions to me by Mr Hsiung and try to abide by the rules here as humanly possible as others here. As far as to my mission here, to save lives and prevent life-ruining conditions and addictions and post to counteract statements that could arouse anti-Semitic feelings, it comes from a Jewish perspective that I am prevented from posting here due to the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung. Since I am following those prohibitions to me, I fail to see why anyone would leave here because of what I write as the author here states that he does not blame sls for leaving {IN RELATION TO THE DRAMA} (emphasis mine). Now let's look at what could be thought to be the "drama" since it is not specified what the drama entails.
The last exchange between me and sls was concerning that he posted that I was {challenging the health of the community}. In the 1300s, the Jews were blamed for bringing the bubonic plague upon Europe where 1/2 of the population died from the black death. The Jews were blamed by the false charge that they {poisoned the wells}. The plague was, unbeknownst to those that persecuted the Jews and killed them, caused by a flea that lived on a rat so it was impossible for the Jews to cause the plague. So when you read here that I am {challenging the health of the community}, remember the rat flea.
