Dr. Bob long ago decided that jokes based on ethnicity were not conducive to the supportive and educational environment he wanted at Babble, so considered them against site guidelines. He considers jokes about accents to fall into the same category, I would guess. He has also apparently decided fairly recently that jokes with explicit sexual content are against site guidelines, similar to cursing without an asterisk, and for the same reason I'd guess.

If Dr. Bob tells someone that something they are doing is against site guidelines, and they understand what he is asking them, and they continue to do it, the only recourse he has is to block that person. If they wish to object to the rule, they can come to Admin and try to change Dr. Bob's mind.

> I am unsure as to what then your rule entails in relation to the rule that says that one can not post what their opinion is about what Mr. Hsiung thinks, or it could be for all people as to that one can not post here their opinion of what another thinks. This brings up what I am unsure about so if you could post answers to the following, then I could respond accordingly.
> A. Is in your thinking, is it the same to write here that {my opinion} about what another thinks, is the same as writing {I Guess} that another thinks such and such?
> B. If not , what could be your rationale for separating one to be acceptable and the other to be not?
> LouDinah,
I am withdrawing my request for clarification. After reviewing the issues and thinking through the situation, I have found an answer to my request.
Please disregard the request.
