muel Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 So I ran across a forum where someone had asked a question but received this reply: closed as not constructive As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question. How boring would this forum be with rules like this? Avoiding debate or extended discussion? Yuck! Answers supported by facts, references, or expertise? Heh heh! Now that's just crazy talk! Whoops, pardon the ad hominem attack! Gee, if I was not allowed to share narratives of my own experience with particular equipment or set up I wouldn't be saying much of anything. Personally, I think well considered anecdotal evidence can be quite useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 You mean I can't use my perfected innuendo or expanded ramifications of non facts? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Of course you can. Just be prepared to solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. Oh yeah, and warning points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
