Sobriquet,
Thank you for your suggestion. But then, could I not just write a book?
You see, by me posting one thought at a time, I am giving the other members of the forum an opportunity to enter the discussion at its lowest point for them, which IMO is a sound educational concept. I base this on 27 years of teaching math to grades 7-12. I found that breaking things down to the smallest and then building on each concept allowed the whole to be seen when it was finished. This is my style and is ingrained into my writing and I do not want to change it, nor can I change it.
One here posted that he saw in my posting something like, incredible logic. Well. I do not think that I deserve to be in a catagory of being something like incredible, but it was a nice statement. What I do is to break things down so that they can be handled easier than if the entire matter was posted in one lump. Is that something that you think is something that could be labeled as uncivil?
Lou

I've heard that bitesize learning is one of the best ways to be taught.
>Is that something that you think is something that could be labeled as uncivil?
Bitesize learning, in general? Not at all.

Thank you for saying that. So are you saying that the 3 -consecutive- post rule here could have the potential to thwart learning? If so, is that civil in your opinion?

The thing is, I don't see anyone asking you to wear a badge. Can we forgive past indiscretions, move forward and all be friends?
You know how the bobster can be. There are a lot of posts he hasn't responded to, even when asked to clarify the rules. Sometimes it's up to us to figure things out by osmosis. I'm not saying I agree, just that that's the way it is.
What does that leave us to do but either deal with the currently flawed system or go elsewhere, knowing nowhere we go will be perfect?

I am not allowed now by the new rule to post URL's, so you could email me if you want and I will give you those posts.

Is not the administration going to expell me for a year if I ask for a determination to made as to if a statement has the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings if the poster of such is one that I have in the past asked about a determination to be made in three of the posts and Dr. Hsiung said that his thinking is that those posts were acceptable? And is not the administartion also going to sanction me if I was to post 4 posts that another was not between? And could not the administration sanction those posts that have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings that are left unsanctioned? Could you give me your opinion as to why they will not do that?

Do you think that it is conducive to civc harmony and welfare to have to figure things out by osmosis? And are you saying that you think that asking to clarify rules is uncivil because one is to keep the system flawed and asking for clarification could have the potential to unflaw the system?

Anything is possible these days.

As this site is educational, it would be civilized that people learning and people teaching, should be able to do so in a logical and commonsensical format.

You wrote,[...go elsewhere...]
Throughout history, the Jews have been told to leave, or had to leave their country. Even Sigmund Freud had to leave the Nazi Austria-Hungarian area because he had a Jewish relative and he would be murdered if he stayed in his country. He fled to England as the Nazis started their persecution of the Jews when it was a crime to be a Jew. The fact that he was a professsor and could have contributed to his country was not any priority for the Nazis. What would Germany be like today if they did not expell the Jews. In 1742, Empress Elisebeth of Russia expelled all Jews from Russia.What would that country be like today if they did not expell the Jews.
In 1492, Queen Isabella of Spain issued a decree to expell all Jews from all Spainish lands. The fact that many Jews could have contributed to the country was not an issue. What would Spain be like today if they did not expell the Jews?
[...go elsewhere...]? Really?

Well, could it also not mean,[...leave this forum...]? And then there is as to why one would suggest that I leave this forum.
Do you have an opinion, as to what that poster meant, that is a reson that I should leave this forum?

Lou no one's asking you to leave. Just that if you don't like the rules here. Just like the schools you taught in had rules then why not see if there is another forum you might feel you fit in better at. Love Phillipa

Phillipa,
You wrote,[...no one is asking you to leave.Just that if you don't like the rule here....].
Would you say that Dr. Martin Luther King jr. was wrong to challenge the rules that denied civil rights to his race and that since he didn't like the rules he should have left the country and went to a country that had civil rights laws to protect his race? If not, could you say why he was not wrong to stay?

> LouI had one other question, Lou, after reading some of what you've written in the past two days.
The question is as follows:
Do you think it's possible to arrive at a general understanding of what a rule is--ie how it will be applied-- after reading the rule and encountering a few instances of its application?
If you feel it isn't possible to arrive at a general understanding, do you know why it's so hard for you to do that?
thanks, Jost

The oppression of a group of people does not compare to following the rules on Babble.

ct,
You wrote,[...the oppression to a group of people does not compare to following the rules on Babble...]
The oppression of a group of people can start with the oppression of just one of those people in that group.
What I am wanting dialog about here is as to the rules being
A. well-defined
B. applied equally.
The rules here stress that one is not to post what could lead another to feel accused or put down or to post what could be insensitive to another, or to put down those of other faiths. If there are statements that lead me as a Jew here to feel accused or put down, and those statements are not sanctioned as other statements are in the same fashion, then I feel put down by the nature that the administration is unwilling to apply equally their own rules
In the case at hand, are there not statements that accuse the Jews of killing Christ and are not sanctioned as other statements that accuse someone here? Can I not exercise due diligence to stop this from being fostered on this forum by the nature that since those type of statements are not sanctioned as others are that accuse, that others could be led to think that those statements are civil?

Dr. Bob is not a governmental body, so comparing him to one is not a valid comparison.
You might also consider the fact that your comparisons could serve to inflate his ego, in turn, feeding his god complex, so please cease and desist! ;~}
