You wrote,[...you..achieve by that?...]
Let us look at this thread's content.
I had asked the deputy here if I could post here a URL of posts that you have {let stand}. And if not, could a rationale for disallowing one here to post a URL of a post that has been let to stand be posted here.
A generally accepted meaning of the expression,{allow to stand}, is that what is allowed to stand is acceptable or approved. There have been new rules made here when I rejoined the forum about a year ago that I am unsure of as to what URLs can or can not be posted here. I think that you wrote that URLs that have an uncivil statement in them can not be posted.
Your question to me is [...what would you hope to achive by doing that?...] ( post a URL of a post here that has been let to stand).
Since I am unsure as to what URLs from here can be posted here or not, if posts here that have been let to stand could not have their URLs posted here (which means that those posts could be considered to be civil by some), what could be a rationale for such? This then could give guidance to members here that would like to cite a post for referrence in an administartive discussion before they post it, and if what is let to stand is also civil, could not those posts show what is being promoted here as being civil?
One generally accepted meaning of posts that have been {left to stand} could be those posts that have not been notated as uncivil {by the administration in the thread that they appear}.
