I do not think asking questions is bad per se. By "disruptive behavior" I mean people which just adds noise. It is a way to dilute the information available.

I think most of the people here are not following anyone. We are all intelligent enough to be able to get information and make up our own minds. And we all are probably checking other sources as well. I am talking about having a more focused source of information. Having an stronger 'flavour' is a good analogy. It doesn't mean there is only one right 'flavour'. That's up to each of us to decide. There are other places where other 'flavours' can be tasted.

That is a point. My point is that I would like to not find a McDonalds when I visit the Tibet. It would kind of ruin the mood. When (if) I feel the need to get a McMenu(tm) I can just go to the nearest mall. And I am not making a point only about quality but mainly about focus. I do not expect 'poor tibetans' to know it all, but to offer their knowledge their way.

EDIT: Anyway, we are going off-topic on this thread
