Probably oversensitive.

How long can a question remain on WikiAnswers?
A question posted to the community will remain in the website until a senior member of the community deletes it. Questions that are harmful or contain objectionable content may get deleted but otherwise all questions remain literally forever.
Who deems questions harmful and how can a question be harmful?
WikiAnswers is an On-line interactive Community where individual users can both contribute to by changing answers and report contributions that they deem harmful. An example of a harmful question could be where a derogatory remark had been made against another or maybe a Copyright or Intellectual Property had been violated, or on a more serious note that sexual offences are committed because of the content of a question. It is for this reason that WikiAnswers has an army of Supervisors who respond quickly to such reports and can also see where the Community itself has dealt with a "situation". It is for that reason that WikiAnswers is unique and can set itself aside from other online question and answer services.
What is the meaning of a 'protected question' on WikiAnswers?
A 'protected question' is a question that you temporarily cannot answer or edit.There are two reasons a question is protected on WikiAnswers:1. The question is a catch-all. Catch all questions are where we "catch" potentially harmful questions or questions that violate our Terms of Use to keep them from obtaining potentially harmful or illegal answers that will violate our Terms of Use. We keep these questions in a safe place - the catch all - rather than deleting them from the database. These questions generally remain protected indefinitely.2. The question has become a debate. This includes questions with answers that may contain inflammatory remarks that are being "updated" by various users, which, in turn, creates a debate. WikiAnswers is not a debate forum. It is a question and answer - social knowledge - website. These questions are likely to be unprotected after some period of time - when users have had a chance to cool off and move on from the topic - in order to reopen the question to improvements for a better, updated answer.If you feel that a protected question should become unprotected, please contact Reopen @ answers.com (remove spaces).

Why is asking why on WikiAnswers identified as harmful?
I don't know exactly what question you're referring to, but if the question had only the word "Why?" and no other words, it would have been deleted because it is not an answerable question, since it is not a complete sentence. Why WHAT? No one would know what the question was asking about. This site exists for real questions, not just silliness. It might be silly but it's not harmful.
