I can take your concerns seriously, but still not agree with you. For example, I don't agree with you about how likely it is that those statements will infuse hatred in readers.

I am asking that you immediately post in the thread that the statement is not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of this community. For if it is, then hate is good for this community as a whole, and you say that you want to do what is right. Now is a time for you to declare what you think is "right" by either taking remedial action on that post or allowing it to stand as supportive.

I took action after Lar posted that. Again, I disagree with you about how likely it is that that statement will be seen as supportive and good for this community as a whole.

This isn't the first time a poster and I have disagreed about whether I'm listening. I think part of it may be semantic. The poster may mean "listen" in the sense of "give heed to attentively in order to obey", whereas I mean "attend to closely".
