I wonder why so many forum users frame statements they want to make as questions which challenge innocent comments.
- gilrain 5y agoThere is a term for it: JAQing off. Just Asking Questions. It's used to put forward a distasteful argument without actually standing behind it. As in, "Why are you getting heated? I'm not condoning [whatever], I'm just asking questions."
- vtail 5y agoYou may well think so, but I was asking an honest question. I don’t think it’s distasteful to doubt any allegations, esp. when missing some context, in this case, 10 years old judgement against B&H.
- spoonjim 5y agoBut you should probably examine why you were so quick to assume that the allegations were baseless.
- vtail 5y agoAs I tried to point out, a mere fact that someone is suing someone is not enough to conclude anything about which side is right; that’s why I was asking someone who seemed to have more context. I’m not sure why people are reading too much into my honest question.
