> Have you considered the possibility that the purpose of a question is to discover what other people think?
Except that I directly answered your question, rather than avoiding it or dodging them which is what you are still actively and currently doing with my question:
'Given that it is true that Mr Trump said "Defund the FBI", What is your point then? What point are you making on your question in the first place?'
What part of this question don't you understand if my first seemingly 'complicated' question "What is your point on this?" was very difficult for you to answer?
> There are many interesting possible answers to the question. You are welcome to offer one, or as I have already said ask a clarifying question if you don’t understand.
You: "Isn’t this the view of former president Trump?"
Me (Second reply): "Even when he said he wants it defunded, what is your point?"
Me (Second reply): I do not care if Trump, Biden, Jan 6 rioters, BLM rioters, Antifa, or anyone says that. The point is, that it is quite clear that the FBI doesn't care and is on no-one's side.
I have already answered it. Everything else is you dodging my question and your inability to even directly answer it.
> “Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.”
So assuming you took the time to read the guidelines, surely your question wasn't flame-baiting, or was it since you still don't have a point for asking your question?
"Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies, generic tangents, and internet tropes."
> I suggest that you might want to stop looking for political ‘points’ to argue against, and consider just having an open discussion.
That starts by answering basic questions, like I did. Rather than dodging them like what you are doing, which isn't good in a discussion. I already told you what I think. Now you can begin by giving a direct answer to my basic question to continue this "open discussion".
