> D. The good that could come to the community by me and my deputies of record leaving the anti-Semitic statement unsanctioned, is that I give a higher priority to the feelings of those that post anti-Semitic statements than to the tragic consequences that could come to a subset of readers by seeing that I have not sanctioned the anti-Semitism so that they could think that posting anti-Semitism is not against my rules.
Not taking into account the feelings, or in general the well-being, of those with different beliefs, or values, can have tragic consequences, too.
