Alsalam alaykum wa rahmatullah,
A couple of brothers have been contacting me in private asking me to debate a member here called WhoaretheShia, and as some of you have noticed, I have avoided debating this individual. Today, I finally got some free time to write up a post as to why I never debated this individual. I will include some of my reasons below inshallah.
Apart from the usual problem of time constraints, I have noticed issues with this individual, which is why I disliked wasting time with him.
Point #1 He is a jahil in ilm al rijal and is trying to debate me in ilm al-rijal. He claims that I am biased and that I am not following proper rijali standards. He said in one of his responses to me:
In his article, or the article he uses on TSN,he claims Ibn Hiban and two other medium/lower tear scholars have weakened him. This is not how Rijal works and Farid knows that well.
Ya miskeen... You talk to me about ilm al-rijal and you refer to Yahya bin Ma'een as a "medium/lower" tier scholar?!
Point #2. He wants to argue with me about texts and yet he doesn't know a word in Arabic.
He quotes Ibn Uthaymeen who allegedly said: ”اخراس شٛخ ا س و اتٍ ذًّٛٛ سحًّ انرفصٛم ٔقال إرا دػد انحاخح إنٗ إسضاع انكثٛش ٔأسضغ ثثد انرحشٚى

Point #3: He expects me to respond to his threads, but he will not respond to threads that I create. I am not a defendant in a criminal court, and if he has the choice to not answer, then I have the choice to not answer. My choice not to answer this miskeen is NOT due to my inability to respond to him, and all the old members on this site know my level.
Point #4: He first joined the site as a fake Sunni and made a post asking about Rijali matters. See his post below. He used the same username on Shiachat. He also used the same material on Shiachat for his site. Why should I even entertain someone who is posing as a fake Sunnis?!
