Reply #44: Ugh, not what I meant at all.

"Please note that there are strict limits on how long an option in a poll may be. It would be difficult or inconvenient to provide, along with each poll option, a detailed argument in support of it."

For instance, in this poll you don't appear to be asking about what the term Muslim means, but presuming some definition and asking people whether or not Jesus fit that definition.

When I meant provide context, I meant a few words at the start of the poll about the particular problem you are trying to address.

In this case, you might have said. "In thread zzz we were having a discussion about the meaning of the word Muslim, and I wonder if it is even properly defined. So, if I were to present the argument (for the sake of argument) that Jesus was a Muslim based on yyy, then would it be valid? What criteria do we use to judge, and why? Are we even talking about the same thing when we use the label?"
