You wrote,[...you are saying that statements posted here (by Babble posters)have the potential...]
Let us look at the whole statement by me. The whole statement was,[...staements posted here {that are left to stand}...]. It is the {that are left to stand} that is IMO the issue here.
You see, if statements are{ left to stand}, could not a reasonable person think that an accepted meaning of that phrase is that the statements in question are acceptable?
