right to reply?

Question answered by honorarykid in Scientology

remiel asked this question on 8/18/2000:

what do people here think of certain questioners who close their questions after starting a debate and thus denying the experts who anser the question the right to reply?

Personally, I think it is a dirty and underhanded point-scoring technique. What does anyone else think?

The questioner called "Freedom_of_Religion" (FoR) seems to want to make some subtle, yet damaging implications about us critics of his/her church. Unfortunately, the exact inferences FoR seems to want people to draw are just not very obvious. I wish FoR would come out and say bluntly and precisely what he/she believes about our criticisims, and about us critics. Then FoR could simply ask for our comments.

But, we're here as experts on AskMe.com to be helpful and truthful. So I would urge patience. Just answer 'Freedom''s questions as truthfully as you can, while you can.

If FoR continues to play these kinds of games, I think people will infer something alright. But what they infer will be very different than what "Freedom_of_Religion" is intending.
