Friends,
It is written here that one thinks that the statement after Dr. Hsiung'd email, ie {owned and operated by Robert Hsiung and not the university of Chicago} means that the university has nothing to do with the site.
Really? Does that statement say that the university does not endorse the site? It says that they are not the owner, but IMO that does not mean that they are also saying that they do not endorse the site.
This is why I am asking the university to include a disclaimer that they do not endorse the statements that have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings and foster defmation toward Jews that have been allowed to stand unsanctioned.
I would like for a university representative to enter the forum and post after each and every post that I send them that could foster antisemitism to post something like;
>>U of Chicago's repudiation of Dr. Hsiung's allowing statements that could foster defamation toward Jews>>U of Chicago rep
To all forum members,
As a representative of the university of Chicago, we want you to know that we do not endorse this being allowed to go unsanctioned because it has the potential to foster defamation toward Jews.
U of Chicgo rep
Now if the university was to do something like that, then I think that they would be showing that they are separate from the forum. As of now, it is my great conviction that the disclaimer as of now is not sufficiant to say that the university does not endorse those statements.
You see, could we keep in mind that there is that members could be led to think that those type of statements are civil, according to DR. Hsiung, on the basis that he has let them stand and not wrote that they are uncivil. Thearfore one could conclude that the statemnt,[...he that does not honour the Son does not Honour the Father...] is a civil statemnt here, for it stands unaddressed, even after I have requested that it be addressed. So one could cite that here and it is civil according to this forum, because it was allowed already to stand unaddessed. One could also cite that [..you must believe in Jesus Christ and that he was slain by the Jews..], for that quote has been left unaddressed also, so it is civil according to this forum's convention that if Dr. hsiung allows it to stand, even after I request for it to be addressed, then it is civil.
Now there is much more to that than I can post here now that I am still investigating. You see, that quote was altered or minipulated to revert to a page that said,"not found" after it was posted and is in other data bases throughout the world as it was orinally posted. I have talked to the technical department of the LDS and they say that they would never do anything like that and that it could not happen on its own.
I will say more about this when I get back more infomation about it.
