Is conflict of any kind allowed on Fluther?

I mean, does it seem ridiculously quiet around here to anyone?

I know we’ve done away with religious debate. And with the nonreligious question-askers gone we’ve lost a bit of the political side as well.

And now we’ve got Social questions being moderated for apparently no reason that anyone will openly admit to. Sure, we can ask a moderator privately what the reason was, but it was my understanding that the Fluther rules were an open book, so we all know how the moderation operates and what is and is not allowed, and that we shouldn’t be expected to discuss moderation decisions in PM, where different answers could be given to different people depending on how favored they are by the person doing the answering.

Really, at that point it’s little more than gossip.

I fully expect this question to be moderated, but maybe I’ll get an answer first. Who knows.
