3. I noticed that Board rules prohibited violation of International Law.
4. I then cited Laws of other nations (& the European Union) that prohibit Holocaust Denial.

You left out 5 &6 which were;

6.Well, since Holocaust Denial is a crime in many countries, Izzy's violated International law* & therefore, she's violated Board Rules.

I took this to mean the claim was she was in violation of the terms of use agreement and should be prevented from posting either such opinions or altogether in the future. Not an unreasonable assumption I don't think, considering statements like this;

Dr. Grossman, if I may suggest, a post from you may be in order stating that political discussions are not appropriate here.  There are other forums specifically for that purpose.

Of course this is an inappropriate place for her to post her junk.  Yes, I hope she finds another board & leaves us alone!!!!!!!!!!
 
If I misunderstood the point that was being made, my apologies.

I just don't see how this can be interpreted as a request to ban her from the board. It's a request that she post the off-topic material (conspiracy theories and such) in a more appropriate forum. She's welcome to discuss her N experiences here, since that is what the board's intended use is. I don't feel that this is an unreasonable request. I have an eBay business, and have another forum where I post my complaints, experiences, etc. with other eBay sellers. For me to post eBay rants here would be off topic and unacceptable. This request simply states that political discussions do not belong here and that they should be posted in a more appropriate forum. Quit posting the political junk, yes. Banned from the board entirely, no.

And now that I've typed that, I'm wondering why I'm having to defend myself and the person or persons who were quoted above. Izzy started this. Izzy is the one in the wrong here. Everyone on this board, including Dr. G, were well within their rights to point out how misguided her statements were.

It wasn't. 5 & 6 which I listed above were. The comments you quoted were cited as evidence that 5 & 6 might mean what I understood them to mean.

I am too. I said if I misunderstood the point my apologies. So what's to defend?

I made these two statements.  I was and still am of the opinion that the post made by Izzy were inappropriate for this board.  I highlighted the text I felt addressed the issue.  I never called for her to be banned, but to take her opinions to a more appropriate board.

This board is about dealing with being damaged by the narcissists in our lives. Period.

I was damaged by 2 Narcissists in my life, but I got over it. I kept my membership here as I had made so many good friends.

I made a mistake and apologized for it.

However I see that about three of you are out for blood: to chase me away?

I think you could keep this up forever, because you are so filled with hate, want to hurt and want revenge, which makes me wonder about your motives now, that you are Ns and cannot help yourselves, or to chase me away.

This has now become a bullying and harrassment thread

I am now locking this thread.
