Aha, ok, well the site is represented by the people in it and what is said.
I would have prefered that the poster had DECIDED to change what he said.
However rules must be enforced, and if it's not clear that there are concequences of breaking rules, then they might as well not exist. The rules ARE needed... i hope you agree?
I'm sure that if you had repetative abusive pms from someone, you'd want them banned? And if someone argued (futile) that the persons freedom to say what they wanted has been taken away... that would be abserd.
This is nothing but a less extreme version of that, and in response there is a less extreme reaction to it. No-ones getting banned, but the owners of the site, (and so the site itself) don't want what has been said to represent the site, so they have changed it.
If there was a big wall, that someone said "you can't paint on this, but don't use the colour green" and then someone drew a green stripe.
There'd be nothing unjustified about the owner painting over the stripe in blue.
And that's not even a matter of offense!
