Friends,
It is written above about me as being (redacted by respondent). The statement is false, for I am not disturbed and the statement could decrease the respect and confidence in which I am held. It could also induce hostile and disagreeable feelings toward me.
But it is much more than that. You see, by the nature of the rules here that one match could start a forest fire, a subset of readers could think that the statement about me is conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of this community, and worse, that it is supportive and even worse, that it will be good for this community as a whole for not only that statement to stand but for analogous statements that are also false, to be welcomed here about me that could be equally of such nature as to decrease the respect and regard in which I am held.
And even worse, there could be a subset of readers that could think that Mr. Hsiung is validating the false statement about my character since one match could start a forest fire and Mr. Hsiung does not wait to sanction statements.
