| May 28, 2016 at 11:52 | comment | added | Lee Woofenden | @Nathaniel Perhaps you're right that a new meta post is needed. But my views are about as popular as mud around here, and I've already been slapped down several times for raising this issue. So if one of you guys wants to put up a new meta post about exegesis questions, go for it. | |
| May 28, 2016 at 10:54 | comment | added | Flimzy | I think I agree with both Nathaniel and Lee on this... I think it would be good to bring that topic up in another meta post. Re-visting the topic is probably due again. | |
| May 28, 2016 at 10:50 | comment | added | Nathaniel is protesting | @LeeWoofenden That's certainly related, but perhaps the best approach to addressing it would be to bring it up in a separate meta post, perhaps with examples of how you would answer some of the "basic" exegesis questions that are often left open. | |
| May 28, 2016 at 2:14 | comment | added | Lee Woofenden | And the reason I think they should be off-topic, even though I would be happy to answer them, is that they inevitably become "popularity contest" questions in which the questions that provide an exegesis from the perspective of large, popular churches get voted up while the questions that provide an exegesis from the perspective of smaller, less popular churches (such as mine) get voted down, regardless of the actual quality of the answers. | |
| May 28, 2016 at 2:10 | comment | added | Lee Woofenden | I have been told by old-timers that unscoped exegesis questions are still on-topic here. In fact, I've had enough "off-topic" flags on such question declined that for a while I was regularly getting messages about how my recent flags had been declined. So the situation for exegesis questions doesn't seem to be as simple as what you're saying. For consistency's sake, I think unscoped exegesis questions should be off-topic. But apparently they're not. | |
| May 27, 2016 at 1:13 | comment | added | Andrew | Thank you for this helpful answer. I have developed a tendency to judge questions by comparing them to questions that have already been asked, answered, received a number of up-votes, and have accepted an answer, assuming that they are good questions. I now understand that's not a reliable method, and that some questions that were good no longer are. | |
