If the "allowed questions" are already pre-determined and pre-selected, then there is no need for the thread at all, it is simply a soapbox for preaching. it is what many atheists on CD refer to as an "echo chamber." there is no discussion, there is no consideration for many views, there is no dialogue, there is no conversation, and there is no tolerance or allowance for dissent. It is instead simply a tract to preach the party line, bear witness, and evangelize. In my view, the format of ask-me-a-question-so-i-can-talk-about-myself-but-only-ask-me-questions-which-i-approve is a contrived artifice.
Nice job! They will not like the exposure of their intent, Tzaph!

QED!!!

As far as i know the only posters who can control what gets posted in any forum are the moderators.

The bolded is still your subjective opinion. Only you are responsible for your opinion. Change your opinion, change your life. There you go.
