I am really glad to see that the community resolved this issue on its own. Well done! I would like to echo a bit what others said and add a few more comments.

I agree with Mr_Green’s answer. As a company we ask users two things:

  • Follow the Q&A format. Hinduism Stack Exchange is not a discussion club:

    You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page.

    Even philosophical questions should be applied and answerable. Questions asking for justification of an action or seeking for opinions do not seem being on-topic on a SE site.

  • Adhere to the Сode of Conduct. The CoC is the same for all network sites. We do care about our users’ feelings. There are a lot of tricky areas where things can get easily and fast go south. If one is not sure about the outcome of a question, we recommend avoiding posting it.

Archit proposed an interesting way to handle this situation. Stack Exchange can help the community with implementing the plan. We can enable a “controversial post” notice feature on Hinduism SE. The “controversial post” notice is a special box at the top of a question that alarms the reader. We can add almost any text to the box. Only moderators can add this box to a question. Here is an example on IPS

If Hinduism SE wants to have this feature on, you need to get a community consensus on having this feature and the text in the box. I think the first good step would be holding a meta discussion about it.
