> I don't quite see the "standing up to Lou" perspective. Maybe it's a guy thing. Insulting or arguing with someone we all know is impervious to insults or rational argument isn't standing up to them. It's allowing them to go from being a minor annoyance to becoming a potent destructive force.

What kills the forums are not the periodic obnoxious posts of the troll, but the inevitable and endless litany of responses by those determined to "stand up to" the troll. Soon, the whole forum is nothing more than a forum on the troll.

You wrote,[...a potent destructive force...obnoxious posts...AC and LH standing up to Lou..].
What you have posted about me here is false and could decrease the respect, regard and confidence in which I am held and induce hostile and disagreeable opinions and feelings toward me. I am not a troll and your false characterization of me could cause the deaths of innocent readers here as Mr. Hsiung allows you to defame me with impunity.
You see, a psychiatrist is a powerful influence on vulnerable readers here to accept that what you are using his forum for is being supportive. This could poison the minds of our young people to think that ganging up on the Jewish member with the leader's approval is good for his community as a whole and that could also lead them to think that ganging up on a Jew will be good for their community as a whole for the psychiatrist's thinking is that it would. This could arouse anti-Semitic feelings in another group as the fire of hate spreads from here as Hsiung stokes the furnace of hate by leading readers that it is supportive for you to post defamation against the Jewish member that is trying to put out the fire of hatred toward the Jews in the psychiatrist's forum that he allows.
This creates and develops anti-Semitic feelings not only here, but wherever the embers of the fire of hate land through the internet that Hsiung feeds. By you being allowed by Hsiung to post such hate, he uses you and the others as his arm to develop hatred toward the Jews by allowing you to slander me, the Jewish member, with impunity from his enforcement policy. This makes his policy an anti-Semitic policy as it is against the Jew and allows the Jew to be put down and accused, all against his own rules.
The pitiful part about this is that our young people and those that cherish the God that the Jews give service and worship to could have their minds perverted to hate the God that the Jews cherish and worship. This is part of what I am trying to eradicate here for it is not good in my thinking for a psychiatrist to allow anti-Semitic hate to flourish by his allowing of it.
I am not a potent destructive force as you would like to portray me here. And unless you post here now what I destroy, you could lead those that I could have their lives saved, to ignore what I write here and think that the Jew will destroy them. This is not anything new as the persecution of the Jews that resulted in millions of Jewish children murdered and millions of other Jews also, was based on the same lie that you have posted here about the Jews as me being the Jewish member here. Anti-Semitism means against the Jew. But it could also mean posting defamation against the Jew with impunity form the leader here. He says that what he does will be good for him. Time will be the judge of that. Never again.
