    Wouldn’t you like it more if you got an actual explanation? Maybe you should look into that instead of dismissing others as “oh look its mr questioning over there”. Maybe they got a point… authority, especially that of reactionaries, is questionable.

      Sure in an ideal world you’re right. The other side of that, is when I’m in a professional or learning environment, and it’s constantly being interrupted by arbitrary questions by people.

      I had a college class that got entirely derailed by two people like this, and they were actually things I dearly wanted to learn. Instead, we were constantly interrupted by people wanting these questions answered.

      Is that fair to me, who paid like 2500 dollars to be in that class? I’m sorry, but I don’t think it is. It’s disruptive, and it is wasting the time of the (in this case) lecturer and the people there to learn.

        And you think they didn’t pay either?

        View what they ask as something positive instead. You also learn from them.

        Lectures aren’t there to just sit and listen. They’re there to listen and talk together, discussing the content. To me, that’s better than a class full of yea-nodders. I want people that question. People that learn. Not people that just repeat.

          The questions were not on topic in the slightest, unfortunately. Even with prompting of ‘this is not on topic lets get back on topic’ they wouldn’t do it.

          I’m sorry, but someone disrupting an environment is not the only one who has rights in this situation.
