Forum:Effects of face down monsters

I'm a little confused by this... while a monster is in face down defense position, is it considered to have an effect (excluding flip effect monsters and "when destroyed by battle" effect monsters)?

For example, if Obnoxious Celtic Guard was face down and then attacked by a monster with say 2100 atk, would Obnoxious Celtic Guard be destroyed? Also, the same goes for a monster like Spirit Reaper or Marshmallon. Would they be destroyed by battle if attacked face-down?
