I remember this being the consensus of prior discussions on the subject – what changed? I think the question is perfectly on topic. Editorially it’s not great but it’s a valid question, interesting at that, and got great answers. | |

And popularity is not always the correct metric, if simple "this is popular, therefore it must stay" was the rule, our sites would be 100% pornography. That's popular therefore it must be correct? | |

| Mar 20, 2011 at 10:00 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | The question crops up from time to time and I like knowing how to answer it. And the accepted answer is great. Furthermore, and please don’t take this personally, it’s irrelevant what you think. You don’t have to like the question but there’s a big difference between not liking a discussion and deleting it. | |
