Mr. Hsiung,
I am requesting that you immediately shut down the archives here as that there are posts that could promote propaganda against the Jews. Those posts with statements that are anti-Semitic could cause harm to not only me as a Jew here, but to Jews all over the world as that a psychiatrist is allowing anti-Semitic statements to be seen as supportive by refusing to sanction them with the excuse that those statements are in the archives. I base this on the fact that your TOS/FAQ states that your forum is for support and that you do what in your thinking will be good for this community as a whole.
A reasonable set of readers could take from what they read here that your idea of support is to allow hatred toward to Jews to be promoted here as that anti-Semitic statements can be seen where they are originally posted as conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of your community and supportive and will be good for your community as a whole in your thinking. Those readers that have a knowledge of European fascism, could think that your use of what you call selective enforcement of your rules is parallel to European fascism as discriminatory against the Jews. They have a rational basis to think that because you state that notifications are sure to be known by you and that you are acting on them {except for some of Lou's notifications}. That exception could be seen by those readers as having two standards in your community, one for the entire community and one for the Jewish poster trying to stop you from allowing anti-Semitic statements to remain unsanctioned where they are originally posted. Those readers could understand that anti-Semitism means against the Jew, and that your policy is discriminatory against the Jew and then could be considered to be an anti-Semitic policy.
A long as you say that if something is in the archives you could not sanction it, and that you can selectively enforce your own rules through self-made rules of your own, then to protect the Jews the archives could be shut down.
