You wrote in relation to that I asked Mr Hsiung that since he stated that it may be good for this community to see posts by me not responded to, and I asked him if then it may be bad for the community to see my requests not responded to, that in the past people do not have to read or respond to my posts.
The members have no duty to read anyone's post nor to post a response to them. Mr Hsiung has in his terms of service that he or his deputies will either post to the statement(s) in the notification or contact the one using the notification procedure directly via b-mail or email. I took Mr Hsiung at his word.
Also, Mr Hsiung states in his TOS that the notification procedure is the exclusive mode to express any part of a post that one wants addressed by them, and not to post on the board anything concerning what is in a post that one thinks is not acceptable according to the rules here.
The issue is in my concern, as to if or if not Mr Hsiung and/or his deputy now, have a duty to follow their own TOS here, and if the deputies past had a duty to follow the TOS for notifications. I see Mr Hsiung leaving a notification outstanding, which is different from posters not reading my posts, as that there are consequences, including the deaths of members or readers, from notifications and/or requests to Mr Hsiung to be allowed to remain outstanding.
The question may be eventually be answered by Mr Hsiung's claim that he does what will be good for this community as a whole. Time will be the judge of that. I already know that if the historical record is correct, and what happens to communities that allow anti-Semitic statements to stand also happens here, what the results to that will be to this community if the requests from me to Mr Hsiung remain outstanding. For Mr Hsiung states that he does not wait to put out the fire of hate, even if it is a small fire from a match, for one match could start a forest fire. That is so true, and people that see anti-Semitic statements being allowed to stand could get the idea in their minds that hatred posted here, in particular but limited toward the Jews, is acceptable here. That could induce hate, and the hate could be transferred to others that are not Jews, culminating in mass-murder of innocent children and the killing of their own families and other innocent people. There are many research articles that one can read that show how this happens. I have posted a little about the mechanism of hate that drives people to murder and to kill themselves, and a search can bring this up. There are good articles out of Yale University and Ohio State University and others. If you could read those, then you could ask yourself why my notifications remain outstanding and make your own determination as to if that will be good for this community, or any community, as a whole.
