I just saw that. Someone asked about a change in society, from a point of view that disagrees with it based on religion. I saw several very nice and rational answers that were not in agreement with the questioner's point of view. I just went back to look at it again, and all of those answers are gone. Only the answers that said, yes, isn't this change against all religious principles are remaining. Very interesting.
That is their choice. A stupid choice but their choice nonetheless. Some who disagree with answers only vote them down.
As far as I know, individual authors have the power to delete answers. I find this ridiculous and one reason I haven't bothered with the new setup of Questions and Answers.
I agree.. it defeats the whole purpose of gaining objective and relevant answers which help to draw the question out into some significance which has then the ability to drive traffic.
Of course we mustn't overlook the fact that there are an ever increasing number of Fools using the net and therefore sites like this!
Aren't we lucky that we are able to spot them by such actions as you refer to?
True. True. I also agree with Cagsil. When someone asks a blatantly leading question, then deletes all of the answers that provide any view that isn't very much in agreement, that isn't a place for discussion. It's just a cheap new place for propaganda. And I'm sure they thank HP fervently.

Why do some people ask a question then delete the answers they don't like?A number of times I've gone back to look at an answer I gave and the questioner has deleted it. Do they wish to embrace censorship or silence the opposition?

Has anyone noticed that the "Related Discussions" feature seems to show threads that are years old, many of which the folks who started them are no longer here or don't even participate in the forums anymore? Are we supposed to resurrect these old threads? It seems a rather useless...

Why do all of my questions get DELETED!Every time I ask a question that gets lots of responses, it gets deleted. The email says: Your recent question has been removed because it encouraged a discussion rather than a Hub or short answer. Surveys and poll-type questions do not belong in the...

In YOUR estimation, when it is okay to delete an answer from your questions? Do you delete an answerwhen the answer is totally& aberrantly irrational & illogical in its premise &/or presents a basis of inverse logic at its worst? At what point do you delete an answer from...

Why are some of my questions being deleted?I few of my questions have been deleted, and I want to figure out what I've been doing wrong so that no more of them get deleted. Apparently the HP moderator team removed them; were they too similar to other questions? I was asking about the highest amount...
