Dear AskMe Wicca Experts,

I am an expert in this category myself and have recently spent sometime answering insincere questions from christians who are only using the AskMe service as their pulpit. Now we have a question from a Moslem. Did any of you who answered this question receive any negative or preachy feedback from the Moslem?

Also, as folks have to register with AskMe to use the service I have decided to click on their AskMe name and take a look at their profile before answering any public questions. I don't like be condemned for my faith and feel it is rather hard that these folks seek us out for this purpose. I do hope no pagans or wiccans are playing these games with the experts in other religious categories. I feel that we are bit more noble in nature than that.

What ought we to do when we feel that answering a question is pointless because the questioner is not sincerely seeking information?

Honestly the only thing we can do is either

1) ignore them, no one is forcing us to answer their questions

2) answer their question and pray to the god and goddess that they go away

3) answer them and when they get all preachy and try to poke holes in our beliefs, we can try and do it back to them. However that is not very mature.
