If someone asked a question (which is highly uprated) accusing you of advocating rape & many members discuss it would you leave the site permanently?

No, I would just get over it.
-
I would contact the site moderators using the 'Feedback' link at the bottom of the page asking them to resolve the issue preferably by deleting the question. Questions should not accuse other AB members of anything - that is an inappropriate question and it should be rejected.
-
No I would just be more cautious about the questions that I ask!
-
I'd contact the AB staff right away. Be very hurt and confused how someone could say those things about me.
-
I would want to set the record straight. Most of these issues are simple misunderstanding.

Yes, I would undoubtedly flounce off in a sulk, but not before I drew attention to the fact I was flouncing off in a sulk by posting a question about how I was thinking of flouncing off in a sulk. Actually, I wouldn't do that at all, but I just wanted to show my support for your course of action. Personally, I would debate questions that have been asked in the appropriate threads, ironing out any misunderstandings if possible, and if anything offensive or possibly libellous were posted against me I would report it to the AB staff and make a note to avoid entering into dialogue with the idiot who said it in the future. Flouncing off in a sulk suits you well though.

Wow, this came up last night also. It is very hurtful for all concerned parties. I believe the end results of the conversation were the questioner did not intend it that way.

I doubt it, since it'd have to be a lie ; ) If it were true, I still wouldn't leave because they're just telling the truth... 'Problem solves itself. I hate censorship as well, so I wouldn't even try to get it removed (unless it was just overtly abusive for the sake of abuse, that's just unnecessary... But that also wouldn't happen because the people on this website are better than uprating and highly 'discussing' such a post.)

Say hello to the mob mentality of Answerbag. Report it on the blog and send emails to the admins. If you were not convicted of rape or did not come out and say "I think rape is great", this person had no business posting such a question about you. No, I wouldn't leave. I'd stay and be a thorn in the side of the ahole who accused me.
-
No. I would answer the question and I would say in no uncertain terms exactly what I thought of the person asking the question. I would also mail Answerbag admin and ask them to remove the question.

While I don't think you should have posted the question you posted regarding rape, as this is a site composed of thousands of people, some of whom have been affected by rape, and have been victims themselves. Seeing a question like that is bound to cause some pretty intense emotions for people, and may be taken as a slap in the face to them. ESPECIALLY if it is something they have experienced themselves. I didn't see where you were advocating rape. I don't believe your intentions were to be hurtful, but they were nonetheless. I can see how it would be misconstrued. I think you should contact the staff and see how they respond, then make your decision...Or you could post a public apology to those you may have unintentionally hurt, state that you don't advocate rape, in any form (I assume you don't), and ask them to accept your apology. Thats just an idea.

I think I know what you are referring to. A lot of the answers to the original question which asked if a person could get pleasure from rape, were downrated when the answer was no. I think the question you are referring now was directed at the person who did the down rating not the person who asked the question.
-
No sir I would not leave. I saw the question you are referring to and I didn't answer it but I did leave a comment on the answer I agreed with. This type of question is one of the biggest problems answerbag has in my opinion. One users launches a character assignation on a user who disagreed with and or down rated them. This is made a public play ground with others jumping on board the bully express because the question is skillfully worded to suggest that to disagree with said question is to advocate rape, child molestation, etc... it's master manipulation and unfortunately it's not all that uncommon here on Answerbag. Report it and Stop this type of behavior by refusing to participate on any level.

don't leave. I read your question last night, and while i thought you worded it wrongly and it came off insensitive but in no way did i think you advocated rape. the question you're referring to must have been hurtful for you to read, i personally didn't feel it was necessary, but please just try and forget about all of this.
-
That is an untrue question. You were not accused of advocating rape. You chose to misread the answer and question. No I would not leave the site I would accept the apology that had been proffered for any misunderstanding. If you feel you need to report it that is your choice and perogative..
-
I wouldn't leave. I would just take the accusations, and let them go. I would stay.
