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?

I like to answer questions anyway because I can never really know what others are doing, thinking, feeling. I like to do this for me. So it is never pointless, because I did what I set out to do. It is terrable that people would do that to you, but remember, what they do is on their own karma and you can ignore any negativeity from them. If you still really think it is pointless don't answer the questions. Don't put yourself into the position where someone can make you feel uncomfortable. Good luck.
