I still think StackOverflow is one of the best sites out there for programming and development information, but I am increasingly finding that the posts that attracted me to StackOverflow in the first place are closed as not constructive by SO mods. These posts, almost inevitably have a significant number of replies and discussion.

I actually think that it is rude and disrespectful to your community to shut a topic down that has nothing blatantly wrong with it (like flaming/cussing/banality) just because it isn't the correct "fit" and might (shocker) involve an opinion.

I can't help wondering that if SO continues in this vein, how relevant it is going to be in the near future.
