Why was my "old people whistling" post deleted?

It was posted in GQ; an inoffensive question asking why most people I hear out whistling in public places are senior citizens.

@elmwood

Whenever I’m in a public place and I hear someone whistling, far more often than not it’s a senior citizen. I almost never hear younger people whistle. Was whistling considered trendy in the 1940s and 1950s, or is there some other phenomenon that happens as you get older that makes you more inclined to whistle some random notes?

Now the generic “No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster” message appears.

What the hell? Is the moderation getting that strict, or what? Did a certain user that trolls my posts report it as being racist or something? What’s going on?

Why do some senior citizens whistle a lot?

AKA “Why do some senior citizens whistle a lot?”

Perhaps your 346565 was a duplicate thread.

That thread. Strange. Maybe it was a dupe; I dunno.
