Absolutely not! It is abundantely clear that there are only a handful of trouble makers amongst the thousands of SR "residents".

Another valid question.
When a person writes an offensive post the entire post has to be removed. If the offensivie statements are left on the thread, more and more people will become offended and the situation escalates _very_ quickly. It only takes removing a handful of insulting posts to completely derail the flow of conversation.
If a mod leaves a note such as "post removed by xxx" then the offensive poster becomes even more irate. If the mod does _not_ leave a note then other posters start PM'ing wanting to know what's going on. Many times a mod will simply lock the whole thread in the hopes of preventing escalation.

That is exactly what the mods are attempting to acomplish.

Confidence building is an important skill for many of us on SR. As one of the mods for the "Friends and Family" and "Adult Children of Alcoholics" I would be honored if you would consider us as hosts for your comments on that confidence building site until the SC forum re-opens. Although F&F and ACoA are not concerned with "secular" issues, we are always interested in Confidence Building. We also don't care _which_ program, if any, is followed by the membership.
