- pmoncada 5y agoThe conversation was very civil though. I spoke to the moderators and they say that the flame-war detector was triggered, but when I asked him to read the comments he agreed that there wasn't a flame-war. He said that since it was already taken down they would need "a good reason" to put it back up. And that the article's topic was "generic and sensationalist" so they don't feel like they should keep it up. In my opinion, I think one of the moderators is more athiest and maybe it conflicted with their values and rubbed them the wrong way, so they decided to bury it when the "flame-war" detector went off, even though there was no flame war.
