DR. Hsiung,
I can not find in your FAQ your new policy about members posting what another member posted by showing the post of the member. I understand that you have written that by bringing up the whole post of another member here, that that could have the potential to lead the one whose post is brought up to feel accused and that it is not civil to do so.
But are there exceptions to this new rule? If so, could you or a deputy list them here?

DR. Hsiung or deputies,
I am wondering if any of the following could be exceptions to your new rule.
A. bringing up a member's post that has already been determined to be civil to discuss an aspect of your rules
B. Bringing up a member's post that has already been determined to be uncivil to discuss an aspect of your rules
C. bringing up a member's post that could clarify something if it has been determined to be uncivil as something pertaining to the past practice going to determing another aspect of your rule.
D. bringing up a member's post that could support another aspect of your rules
E. Other good and just exceptions to your rule.

I don't know the answer, or even completely understand the question. However, as new rules develop, I prefer to let Dr. Bob interpret them.

Friends,
It is written here,[...I don't know the answer,or...understand the question...]
The question is about the new rule about showing a post of another member here.
In reading what is in the FAQ, I do find that it says that you use a report this post feature now, instead of posting the URL on the admin board. But that is for posts that you are wanting to have the adminstration review for acceptability only?
My question is can a member post another member's post here {for other reasons} because I guess it is concievable that if a member posts a post of another member it could have the potential to some to think to be bringing up the post so that the administartion could use it to sanction the poster of the post brought up even though no request was made for such for there could be the potential that just because the post was brought up, it could have the potential to lead the member of whose post it is that is brought up to feel accused or put down?
Does that make sense?
Lou

As I said, I prefer to let Dr. Bob make interpretations on new rules.

Dinah,
You wrote,[...I don't know the answer...]
The question is about the new rule that says that posting here a request for a determination from Dr. Hsiung is not allowed now.
But there are posts that bring up whole posts of others here and it is allowed. My question now is what are the criteria that could allow posts to be exempt from the new rule that you can not bring up someone's whole post like in the past to ask the administration if the post, in and of itself, is acceptable.
I find it hard for me to work within the rules here if they are not well-defined and applied equally. I feel discriminated upon when others are allowed to post what I would be expelled for.
You wrote that you did not know the answer. Then could it be reasonable to make the new rule {to be on hold} untill Dr. Hsiung defines the rule more and lists the possible exceptions to the new rule, for if you write that you who are a deputy do not know the answer, then could not the members that are not deputies also not understand the rule?

I think the answer, Lou, is to wait for Dr. Bob. You aren't the only one. I'm waiting for him to answer something right now, too. I'm sure there are others as well.
Moreover, I have no authority to put a rule on hold. You give me too much credit.

Dinah,
You wrote,[...I have no authority to put a rule on hold...].
I was saying that {could it not [be reasonable]} to put the rule on hold. And I think that if you could email Dr. Hsiung to request that he give you the authority ot put the rule on hold, that your request could have an effect to have him put the rule on hold untill exceptions to the new rule could be posted, for are there not always exceptions to a rule?

Lou, if Dr. Bob could be reached, this wouldnt be a problem. He'd just answer your question.
I have no special way of reaching him.

I guess it would depend on the other reasons?
