Keeping questions up which stir a lot of controversy causes a lot of noise without much benefit for anyone. | |

For this particular question, I found Neil's position convincing. One thing that I regard bad for MO and I think moderators should, in general, not allow, is that when a problem was closed after a close/repopen war, the winning side will go on to delete the question altogether. | |
