Why do people dismiss valid questions as rants?

[RationallyImpossible]

Countless times I have asked questions, trying to be as respectful as possible and avoiding strawmen while challenging those who answer it. Yet people dismissed those questions as rants, and make loaded accusations towards me.
Quite a few of the answers i get are gems, on both sides of any argument. And also quite a few of them also make false accusations, like "ranting post", etc.

Not knowing your questions, I can't comment to that. I assume you must get at least SOME valid responses, yes?

 

[MojoeJoejoe]

it's a tactic they use to discredit you

They probably don't understand the question fully, or they just don't have a good answer.

Stop ranting! you're trying to solicit us again.

If your question turns into an essay, then it is a rant.

Careful parsing of words and magical ceremonies determining the intent of the author.

Hello,

Unfortunately, even in my day there are many people not educated in the fundamentals of logic, hence they walk into the fallacies of emotional appeal and ad hominem not realizing they are making invalid arguments.

Cheers,

Without giving an example, it's pretty much impossible for us to give you an informed answer.

It typically means you have hit upon a "truth" the opposition does not wish to acknowledge...so they call it a "rant" to justify their hitting the report button. In reality is really is nothing but censorship.

I see the christians do this on a regular basis...just try to post a question concerning the fact that christians worship a baby murdering god (egypt's first born)...they will censor it so fast their heads will spin because they do not want that Truth to be spread around very much because it is an embarrassment to them.

Take it as a vindication that you have hit upon something that the opposition is afraid to answer or acknowledge because they know they are wrong.

What may seem dispassionate to you is an excuse to be offended by one who really wants to be anger. Keep asking...

 

[PastorGreg]

What is your question?

 

[snowflake]

Your questions hit too close to the truth, which they desperately want to be wrong so they think they don't have to be accountable to God.

They're afraid. And cowardly.

When they can't answer. Frustrating innit.
