Darabont is much more blunt on the issue, as per the interview below. I think this is the best we can do at the current time, but let me know if you're looking for anything else. (Also, I'm disappointed to see that your question has as many downvotes as upvotes. It's a good question.) | |

We seek good questions and we seek good answers. It doesn't matter if they come from the same person. | |
| Oct 9, 2015 at 14:59 | comment | added | Anthony Grist | If somebody asked a question, was given an answer, and then turned around and said "I already knew all of that, but I don't think that satisfactorily answers my question at all, because of reasons X, Y and Z." I'd think they'd not done sufficient work in asking their question in the first place. It's even worse if the question and answer comes from the same person. Ultimately, if you know there are potential answers to your question that you're not going to accept when you write it, that needs to be made clear in the question. That's what he's done. | |
| Oct 9, 2015 at 14:56 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | ... Think about how it would play out in the first scenario. Wad asks Why did DeMunn Leave? He gives his answer (1) and (2). Then he leaves a comment saying why those answers are not satisfactory and that he's looking for more. That would be entirely normal if the answer can from a different user. And it's therefore entirely normal if they both come from Wad. There's nothing wrong with asking and (partially in this case) answering your own question. | |
| Oct 9, 2015 at 14:52 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | ... If you think it's ridiculous to ask a question and answer it so you can ask a more focused question, then one could go for the first option I gave. However, there actually nothing ridiculous about it. | |
| Oct 9, 2015 at 14:51 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @AnthonyGrist: It's kind of absurd the way Wad asked the question to begin with (Sorry, Wad). All I'm doing is suggesting cleaning it up. The question I'm suggesting asking is exactly the question he's already asking right there in bold text at the bottom. It's just that the main title is misleading because half the answer to the more general question is already in his description text. IMO, this is not how questions and answers are supposed to work. If Wad has significant answers to some question, they should be in an answer.... contd. | |
| Oct 9, 2015 at 14:47 | comment | added | Anthony Grist | @ThePopMachine I was referring to all of it - your previous comment and the general idea you're suggesting - but you're right; not really a useful comment so I'll delete it. Suggesting that he should ask extra questions and post answers just to get to the question he actually wants - which is essentially "Given all of this conflicting information, what's the real story?" - seems totally absurd to me. | |
| Oct 9, 2015 at 14:27 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @AnthonyGrist, Wad is making two main points here (1) Munn only did the series because of Darabont, who left, and (2) the other evidence is Riggs, who is a kid. IMO, the question should be Why did DeMunn leave?, and those two point should be in an answer by Wad. Then he could either add to the question that even though he gave answers (1) and (2), it isn't satisfactory because they are hearsay and a kid, so he's looking for more. Alternatively, he could ask Besides Chandler Riggs, did anyone comment on why DeMunn left The Walking Dead ? as a separate question. | |
| Oct 9, 2015 at 12:54 | comment | added | Anthony Grist | @ThePopMachine What other question? | |
| Oct 9, 2015 at 4:43 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | This is awfully long for a question. Shouldn't it be an answer to a different question? | |
