| Dec 3, 2014 at 19:22 | comment | added | R. Barzell | @MatthewMartin I re-read my answer; it seemed a bit critical, so I softened the wording. My use of phrases like "beside the point" can definitely give a dismissive impression which was not my intent. Hopefully the new wording better reflects the relevance to your question (which I wasn't dismissing). | |

Answer may have seemed too inflammatory

| Dec 3, 2014 at 19:02 | comment | added | R. Barzell | @MatthewMartin tons of things. Questions about practice, challenges, chains of inference that connect the teachings. There's much more to Buddhism than doctrine (see the Kalama Sutra). Your question made an assumption, and I provided a valid answer, given that. If you really believe my response was not appropriate, then I recommend you rephrase your question to make what you want clear. | |

| Dec 3, 2014 at 18:43 | comment | added | MatthewMartin | What can we ask about Buddhism if not doctrinal pronouncements? Anyhow, your answer doesn't have anything to do with my question. The more appropriate place for this is on meta, where you can post on what sort of questions are suitable. | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 18:34 | comment | added | R. Barzell | @MatthewMartin I never said Q&A was incompatible with Buddhism, I said that treating Buddhism as a source of doctrinal pronouncements on things like politics is incompatible with Buddhism. | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 18:30 | comment | added | MatthewMartin | So you don't like Q & A websites because they are incompatible with Buddhism? They why are you here? | |
