Friends,
It is written here,[...I believe..a {suggeation} not a {requirement}...suggestion made to others..not limited to you...].
The statement to me by Dr. Hsiung to [...ask others for an independant perspective...] was made to me in reply to my request to him to review a URL from the Anti-Defamnation League that is their response to the posts here that have statements that accuse Jews and IMO have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings. This is my request and not a request from others here. My request is for him to tell me if he will allow it to be posted as being OK or not. If DR. Hsiung wants to make his determination on the basis of what some others think, that is one thuing. But is not asking me to do that another thing?
Dr. Hsiung's reply is to me is,[...how about you {ask others} and {then} ask me again...]. The TOS in the FAQ indicates to me that Dr. Hsiung has in his policy that [...one can >always< ask me to find out if a post is OK...].
As to if he is saying that he will not allow me to have him tell me if the post is OK before I ask others their perpective, is what is the question here. There are those that think he is making a suggestion. But if someone thinks something, that does not absolutly mean that what they think is {fact}, does it?
There is a test to determine if an administrator's statement to someone is a request or a requirment. This went to many State Supreme courts and the answer may surprise some.
