> My own personal experience in dealing with Lou's notifications and personal communications of requests for administrative actions is that is was constant escalation once he got a "foot in the door" of sorts. Whether I acted on something at his request or on my own based on my independent reaction to something, it almost always resulted in multiple additional requests for action on past issues or on issues I'd declined to address on way or another. And as a volunteer here, I had the right to decline for any reason. Many times I declined because I didn't feel I had an adequate understanding or context about what Lou thought was uncivil to make a thoughtful decision. My recollection, which is not 100% accurate, I'm sure, is that this caution on my part was never satisfactory. And god forbid I actually disagreed with his interpretation. That was usually met with multiple, and I mean many multiple replies with increasing justifications and demands. After a number of these interactions, based on the language used, which at times took on a legalistic tone, I began to believe that this escalation could go as high as some kind of lawsuit. No volunteer could be expected to put up with that unsupported.

>gg,
Please do not post what could constitute defamtion toward me by you. There is a doctrin called {false light} that you are putting me in here with your posting about me as putting me in a false light. I followed the administraive policies in all the communications with you and the other deputies and Mr Hsiung. You admit that you did not accomodate my requests to you as it being {your right to decline}.
You may or may not have had that right. For just that Mr Hsiung stated that you could decline, that does not annul the fact that declining to respond could have the potential to leave statements that could arouse antisemitic feelings and could cause harm to a Jew or me as a Jew.
Now there is a prohibition to me here by Mr Hsiung that I can not post a link to these posts in question. This denys me any right for members here to hear my side of what you posted about me that I think puts me in a {false light}. This could arouse ill-will toward me here and advance the allowing of the other posts that could arouse anti-Semitic feelings and the lies about me that could do harm. Your "Dr Bob" allows you to post what is confrontational even though his own rules prohibit such.
