“My position is rational, intelligent, and holy, and yours is that of a simple-minded, irrational, hypocritical and fundamentalist fool”
And that line that you use an example, is a perfect example of an abrasive comment that you are correct, should never be allowed to see the light of day. It’s calling someone a fool. The mods can put a stop to that by warning the poster privately that his or her post was rejected for that reason. I guess I was brought up to be a little more sensitive to people’s feelings, even when posting anonymously, and hnopefully I always do post respectfully. I just find it hard to believe it when I see some people who feel anything goes because it’s the internet. I find onaas devarim to be very offensive personally, and it is a great contributor to sinas chinam.

You have no idea why certain actions are taken.
We are unable to explain the reasons for many actions so as to not embarrass certain people.
We are not willing to make public, posts and edited comments that you do not see.
Go ahead and form your opinions based on misinformed speculation.
We will continue to try and preserve a Torah outlook and derech eretz as much as possible.
