| Nov 16, 2018 at 7:05 | comment | added | ram | @Rickross, if he does it one time, it's not hidden agenda. If he does it 5 times ? suppose you ask 'Doctor Quack says that Ayurveda states "snake oil cures diabetes". How much quantity of snake oil should I drink', and you get proper answer 'snake oil is crap. it doesn't cure anything. here is proof that whole ayurveda doesn't have the word snake oil'. Now, if you are a scientific OP, will you again ask 'Doctor Quack says Ayurveda states "snake oil cures cancer". How much quantity of snake oil should I drink?' | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 7:02 | comment | added | Rickross | @ram That is just different ways of asking the same thing. He has asked in that way anyone else would hv done it in a different way may be.. from that we can not suspect that he has hidden agenda. | |

| Nov 16, 2018 at 7:00 | comment | added | ram | @TheLittleNaruto, first, why do you call it a personal attack ? i'm simply quoting him. he himself has claimed to be atheistic. second, why should we not make personal attacks when he resorts to the same about rishis and scriptures ? what is this big invisible 'border-line' that we're not supposed to cross ? hinduism is all about personal lives. If this was his first time posting such question, or if he asks with innocent curiosity, or at least if he is truly scientific and neutral, I don't care. | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 6:54 | comment | added | ram | @Rickross, Like i mentioned in my edit, many his questions don't have any obvious bias, it's only the 10% that i'm talking about. the first question that he asked about ManuSmriti vaishyas and shudras, I didn't downvote or flag, I answered it saying that the person he is quoting cannot be trusted. now, if this user was scientific, he will not post another question quoting the same person with a different quotation which is also anti-orthodox. For e.g. if you don't know how many verses refer to 'taxes' in manu smriti, will you ask 'how many verses are there', or 'Are there 10 verses' ? | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 6:54 | comment | added | TheLittleNaruto Mod | I agree with @Rickross Don't make personal attacks. What he is, is non of our concerns. | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 6:50 | comment | added | Rickross | We can not blame any users like that openly saying he is an atheist so his Qs shd be viewed from a definite angle. That is like abandoning one user and that is very bad. I personally do not think that sv is having a hidden agenda at all. Moreover, by asking these Qs he is giving u the opportunity to expose that author, bcoz according to u and many others here, he is good at misinterpreting scriptures and misleading others. So, isn't it good that u r given a chance to expose him? Also Qs can not be closed "becoz it is coming from a particular user". We hv to treat the individual Qs & decide.@ra | |

| Nov 16, 2018 at 6:11 | comment | added | ram | @TheDestroyer, He asked lot of unbiased questions. He thinks that I downvote ALL his questions/answers, which is not true. I don't know if sv has an agenda or not, but there was another annoying user 'S K', who has been rightfully suspended. | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 6:09 | comment | added | The Destroyer Mod | @ram I know about Devdutt and his Guru Wendy Doniger. My point is we can use answers to inform users about devdutt or his interpretations. Even in future someone might ask the same question about devdutt. But if a user is here with some agenda, then it should be seen in different lens. | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 6:03 | comment | added | ram | @TheDestroyer, I'm ok with not closing atheist questions if the question was asked with innocent curiosity, not with hidden agenda, and if all readers of that question (not just regular users) know the history/character behind both OP (sv is close to atheist) and the person being quoted (devdutt patnaik is gay) | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 6:02 | comment | added | The Destroyer Mod | @ram No mod reopened that question. See timeline hinduism.stackexchange.com/posts/29924/timeline . Moreover, this meta question is very good. It needs discussion. IMO for these questions, instead of closing, we can outrightly say in answers scriptures have no such statements and they are his opinions and even in future it might be helpful as same questions can be asked other users. It would be also not proper to close as speaker in question is atheist or doesn't believe in core ideas of Hinduism. | |

| Nov 16, 2018 at 5:44 | comment | added | Agamas Tantras | @ram Mods should do it....After seeing the answer of this question alone, I understood the intention behind those questions.hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/29924/… | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 5:41 | comment | added | ram | @AkshayKumarS, thanks. I also voted to close the other questions. and my point is not to reopen my question, but close all similar ones because they're biased and affect site quality. | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 5:40 | comment | added | Agamas Tantras | @ram on what basis I put that question on hold is answered by Sarvabhouma. If SV question was opinion based (I voted to close it) but was reopened, all should be closed of similar type. I know on what basis you putforth that question | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 5:22 | comment | added | ram | @RaRa, it is the same nonsense going on in the name of 'sickular' in India. Chinna Jeeyar (JET)'s motto best represents the right ideal - 'respect all. WORSHIP YOUR OWN'. | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 5:21 | comment | added | ram | @Sarvabhouma, i know you & I are mostly on the same page, and in this particular case, i'm more interested in showing that all questions should be wrong :), not that all should be right. consistency is not a virtue in all cases | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 5:16 | comment | added | user16618 | I think you have correctly sensed the non sense going on in the name of objectivity. | |
| Nov 16, 2018 at 5:10 | comment | added | Sarvabhouma | How can one single question closed as primarily opinion based and others can't be closed? If one question is wrong, all should be wrong. Otherwise, everything should be right. | |
