Jan 11, 2013 at 10:50 | comment | added | Fortiter | Rather than edit any one of the five answers (when my comments relate equally to all of them) I have added a sixth which I believe is probably "not an answer" in strict SE terms; but which the OP has accepted. Who'd have thought it? | |
Jan 11, 2013 at 10:48 | comment | added | Fortiter | I have not criticised the question or the (other) answers. I have sought to raise the issue of how questions of that type "fit" within the SE mould. There appears to be an emerging consensus that they do; or if they don't, then they should. I look forward to seeing that view implemented. | |
Jan 10, 2013 at 14:35 | comment | added | user104 | Fortiter, on reflection, this reads to me as if you believe we shouldn't allow subjective questions. Is this the case? | |
Jan 10, 2013 at 13:53 | comment | added | lkessler | Fortiter. I think you were being a bit overzealous in your criticism of the question. And here you are being a bit overzealous in your criticism of the five answers to the question. Please try to be a bit more lenient. We all are trying the best we can. | |
Jan 10, 2013 at 10:33 | comment | added | user104 | If anybody wants to edit my answer -- or any other answer -- to that question to highlight the pitfalls you've mentioned, that would be entirely appropriate and helpful. | |
Jan 10, 2013 at 10:31 | comment | added | user104 | My position is that -- if we agree to do so -- we can draft the genealogy.se rules such that it is compatible with them. It will need more watchfulness from all of us to ensure that the answers to such questions stay on-topic and constructive. | |
