The posts disappear quickly because, by and large, the community here doesn't want to have a discussion on that topic. (And when it does, its very often not a productive discussion. Too many sacred cows, on all sides of the issue.)

Understood, and I agree that often there isn't very much productive happening by the end. Hopefully that will eventually change.
