Should the phrases hypocritical Christian or pedophile priest or drunken Irishman or Black drug dealer or white lynch mob or treacherous female be forbidden too? How would you word a rule on forbidden phrases? Were you offended that his tormenters were identified as Jewish or just the particular insulting phrases used?

If this comes to your email, I would like for you to email me. Also, since your obsevation concerning this ongoing situation, which is IMHO plainly visible, could help Jewery now, could you bring up the admin board and look at the threads that are concerning this situation? You see, I am in great fear now of being a victim of antisemitic violence and IMHO other Jews and non-Christians that do not accept the claim that is posted here on the admin board as being {OK} by Mr. Hsiung, could be targets of those that take mind-altering drugs that could induce a mind-altered state to want to kill themselves and/or others. And if they read antisemitic liturature or visit sites where statements that could put down/accuse Jews are allowed, I think that there is the potential for that person to target a Jew. If you could forward this to your friends that you think could be helpful in this situation, I would appreciate it.
