Mar 8, 2018 at 11:53 comment added Zlatko I downvoted this for the same reason: this does not answer the question, it attacks the question. I did agree with the original poster, and I do disagree with the answer here on the key things. But that was not the reason for downvote, the reason is that this isn't an answer. To me, it comes out as answering a question "how do I add 2 and 2" with "you know, I work with binary system, there is no 2 there.". As nicely explained by Erica, that isn't an answer.

Mar 8, 2015 at 23:42 comment added Acire I did not say "not allowed" and was just suggesting a different approach if you're hoping to help R focus his question. See meta.parenting.stackexchange.com/questions/123/…
Mar 8, 2015 at 23:34 comment added David Mulder @Erica: In general on Stackexchange it's quite acceptable to 'attack' the premise of a question if that resolves the question (in this case the essence being that there might be no problem at all). If this is not allowed on parenting.SE, could you please direct me to the relevant meta post?

Mar 8, 2015 at 2:54 comment added David Mulder Additionally I hardly see how this is a rant. For a question as openly aggressive as yours I think I wrote quite a constructive answer both discussing the premise of the question and actually answering the question itself, though it's true that I did not give actual pointers for blind indoctrination like Erica did (though I did bring them up) and instead tried to focus on how to make sure a child finds a place in such society.
Mar 8, 2015 at 2:52 comment added David Mulder @R.. Your question was quite clearly grounded in a post modernist world view to be honest. Your question was complaining about religions specifically and their claim on 'the truth' and their supposed indoctrination, not about how to handle differing world views and only secondary brought up the topic of raising a child in a multicultural society.
Mar 8, 2015 at 2:44 comment added R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE And to clarify, I downvoted this answer because it offers little constructive and it's basically a rant against the premise of the question.
Mar 8, 2015 at 2:43 comment added R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE As written my question contains nothing about a "post modernist world view" or indoctrination as such; I believe it's equally applicable to religious minorities living in a place where there's an established dominant religion. One child telling another that they're going to hell is abusive behavior and when it's done by a group who's singling out one or a few children who are different from them, it's bullying.
