I am not in any way an official voice around here, but I am a longtime reader. Having a look at the articles on that site, I don't think it's the kind of submission that is appreciated around here. My guess is that it was killed by an editor.
If your next reply is "why not let people vote and decide for themselves," then the answer is that it doesn't work like that. People see that this site involves a lot of voting, then assume that it's a democracy, controlled by the readers. Nothing could be further from the truth. pg and the editors have the final word on everything. They kill a whole lot of submissions and comments for a variety of reasons: off-topic, spamming, inflammatory, insensitive, and so on. If they didn't do this, the site would have dissolved into anarchy long ago.
