Phillipa,

Let there be no misunderstanding here. Mr Hsiung says n his TOS that he does what in hi thinking will be god for this community as a whole. And more than that, he asks readers to try to trust him.
The aspect of {doing what will be good for the community as a whole has ancient precedence going back to the Greeks that killed all the new born children that they thought would not be good for their state as a whole (infanticide). With tha type of thinking, a country can have slavery,by saying that slavery will be good for the country as a whole. And a country can commit genocide by the same type of thinking and the leaders said {trust me}. The historical record shows what happened as the citizens turned a blind eye to much. They trusted what was a hope that killing millions of people would improve the country. And those that objected were murdered or deported.
The European fascists used the motto {the common good} and also the laws stated that one could not publically say or print anything that was not {conducive to the national welfare}. So this is nothing new, some of the words are analogous and changed, but the concept is the same.
When the swastika is displayed, it could be an insult to Jews in particular for it to be displayed. The swastika in a mental health community delivered to the readers via a web site by Mr. Hsiung and his deputies that support him, says volumes. It is refreshing to see that at least one member here objects to it being displayed by Mr. Hsiung here, and I do not think that clothing the swastika in the language of art immunizes Mr. Hsiung for displaying it. For his own rule is not to post {anything} about Nazis. That is a very broad prohibition and includes {anything} that could conjure up Nazis.
But be it as it may be, the aim of this community can be plainly seen.
