Can someone please explain the controversy over my closed [question](https://superuser.com/questions/374708/creating-word-games)?

I followed the FAQ to the letter.

Random's comment: Do something and then ask as question about it. Current format is polling/list for Download.com

I don't understand where in my question it seemed like I was polling, and can't we agree that [this](https://superuser.com/questions/7739/windows-backup-by-imaging) and all other software rec questions are on topic (as long as they follow the [faq](https://superuser.com/faq)).
