How do we convey information through text to a person who clearly is illiterate (the article or links there-in lead to all the stories that tie the person to the crimes)?

How do we inform people that just asking question does not make one a Socrates?

How do we inform them that the Socratic Method was to actually find out information?

Do they know that the Socratic Method's purpose was to not to launch an inquisition against facts that make them uncomfortable?

Do they realize that people can plainly see when they abuse the method in order to make the facts presented appear unreliable in conveying information?

I mean, if people are asking questions, clearly the facts are not clear enough?

If we ask enough questions won't it cause uncertainty to onlookers?

I'll be calling that political methodology Socratic Rape from here on out.

Isn't it sad that this method has been used so much that I've felt the need to define it?

And yes, this comment is very much an example of Socratic Rape.
