I noticed that too. I also noticed that a lot of them seem to be using "removing potential flame bait" as an excuse. Looking at both sides, I did notice more borderline flaming comments upon revisiting some of the pages. Which is, as you said, where the mods come in. Or maybe that community of editors who'd delete such comments if they gave a clear set of guidelines as to what should be deleted. Or just asked for the help. It seems like they're far too eager to just up and delete the stuff, instead of trying to make it work and get some gorram mods in there and put up some guidelines, they're all "... screw it, DELETE!" Methinks the vote was just a formality and for show.
Sorry. I tend to have terrible timing (hee! alliteration!) with attempted jokes. (Hence the joke label, this being the internet and all.) It's ok, I'm not mad or anything, it was more of a 'hee! ... oh, wow, I shouldn't have laughed ...' moment. Dark Humor FTW, and all. (Alliteration is awesome!)
