My question regarding premium domainquestion regarding premium domain names was closed less than five minutes after I asked it for being "subjective and argumentative," with nothing but a single down vote to tell me why. I understand the need to prevent such types of questions, but I don't believe my question was either. I wasn't asking whether or not such practice was ethically right or anything, simply who sets the price of what appeared to be (on GoDaddy.com, at least) an unowned domain. I was simply looking for an answer such as ICANN or whomever owns the TLD, or, as @Iain pointed out, that it actually WAS owned by someone, just being resold.

I'm a little disappointed in the ServerFault community for what I see as a hasty and subjective decision to close my question, and wish my question was closed for augmentative discussion, rather than the unfounded fear of it.
