Why was my discussion topic deleted

I wrote a piece on my thoughts concerning the act of loving versus the state of being in love. I spent a lot of time composing and when i was finished i felt very proud of it. I do not understand why it was taken down. There are alot of seemingly inane discussion topics that i can see, some of which have nothing to even do with philosophy (such as "what are you watching right now" and "cat person.")

I am disappointed because i was really hoping to hear other peoples thoughts and experiences on the topic.

Shame on you moderators.

It was picked up by our automatic spam filter. It wasn't deleted by a moderator. I've restored it.

There's a "Lounge" category for off-topic discussions. Unless you specify so in your settings these will be included on the front page.

Neither of these topics are inane. There's a social element to the site which covers the first one and the second one is an analysis of a short story. But obviously feel free to ignore them. You can click on the "Categories" option in the left side-bar to organize your front page in such a way that off-topic discussions won't be immediately visible.
