The statement, if it conforms to the truth, could give credibility to Mr. Hsiung's claim that he is doing what will be good for the community as a whole and not only that, but members are to try to trust him.

The aspect of that concept depends IMO on the member's understanding of what the statement means in relation to the mind.

You could see the numerous attempts by me to have Mr. Hsiung define things, and give his rationales, and you can see the ones that are still outstanding, you can see his reasons why they are oputstanding and you could ask why, as you have for your other concerns.
> You can see right now on this board a question that could lift an ambiguity, which I would like for you to trust me in that if the ambiguity is lifted, then that could be good for the community as a whole, and try to trust me on that. You see, having an abiguity could lead to being unsure, and I would like for you to trust me in that if people are allowed to be sure, then that could be good for the community as a whole.
> I am awaiting for Mr. Hsiung to post here to clear up any ambiguity concerning what he means by that support takes precedence in relation to have an antisemitic statement notated as unsupportive or not so that I can respond to him here. Does this help you in relation to your concerns about the credibility of the administration?

You see, if people think that Mr. Hsiung does consider the statement in question there, that could lead a Jew to feel put down, and others also, to be supportive, then how could that be good for the community as a whole, and why is there a request from Mr. Hsiung in his TOS to try to trust him in what he does when he states that support takes precedence?
I have a great fear that some others could think that the statement is supportive untill Mr. Hsiung posts there as to one way or the other and that great harm could come to me and others that the imperative precludes from Eternal Life and Forgivness. History shows such, could you trust me about that?
