It seems like WotC and Paizo both acted like a moderator on a forum and came to the conclusion "People arguing = bad" and shut the whole thing down.
They are not wrong tho ...
Definitions of Alignment are known for years, and yet people are unable to agree on ... well anything about them basicaly. Each person have their own way to work with it, own way to define it, own way to even demand to be true to it ...
I mean ... Personaly i see main problem with choosen names ... Good / Neutral / Evil ... Just as many other things in DnD, such names evoke wrong ideas in people ... there was several debates about "what it even means to be Good" here on this very foum, and i dont really think anyone agreed with someone else in the end. Alignment is imho usefull tool for guidelines, as long as you manage to unify single definition for whole group ... DM have power to just force it, if necessary ... but other than that, i would dare to say that we dont loose much. Devil will still be assholes. Demons will still be maniacs. Celestials will still be smug as ... well, celestials. :P
They just wouldnt have sticker with written Alignment on their forehead anymore.
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
