[This question][1], which I posted today was put on hold within a couple of hours of its posting, seemingly based on [my answer to another question on Meta][2] and possibly, my interactions with a moderator on that answer.

What is wrong or offensive about this question? Please cite the rules that are violated. If it is considered a duplicate to any question, what might that be?

My views as a questioner: Each question needs to be discussed or debated on its own merit. Perceptions about the questioner should not be a consideration for the moderators' treatment of a question. Let the participating public speak their own mind by upvoting or downvoting, answers or comments. If they cannot relate to a question, they will completely ignore it, and only if they relate to it will they give positive or negative answers and votes.
