I’ve seen this happen a bunch of time now that people just ask a question and it’s deleted a day or so later. Do they delete the question themselves, or is that some automatic thing? If they do it themselves, why?

*edit*

Thanks for the great answers so far. Very insightful. Please keep them coming, I’m curious to more points of view.

    You shouldnt. Post and be downvoted. As long as you are not intentionally trolling anyone, it shows strength of character to stand up for what you believe.

    Its very different from work where you are not free to do what you want, because your entire paycheck is based on going along with the charade. You dont have to do that outside of work. :)

      Downvotes are not what I’m afraid of. I shouldn’t have to explain this to someone with your username.

        Ok I understand. There is no way someone connect what you write here with your real identity. Only your instance even sees your ip. And your internet provider I guess.
