So, moving on...threads that don't violate TOS shouldn't be deleted just because they make the overly sensitive (perhaps this applies to the moderators and their spokespersons) feel uneasy.

As a general comment threads or posts that refer to deleted threads (indirectly or directly) often get deleted on Internet forums/mailing lists; this is because those threads otherwise then quickly degenerate to become similar to the other (deleted) thread and a problem in themselves.
On a different tangent to the above paragraph addressing your question, as you know interpretation of the TOS is a subjective thing of course and it is the moderators and administrators who have the discretion to interpret and act as they wish. In essence the policies are written in pretty broad terms so there's some leeway. But I think most people know what's respectful to others and what is not. As it is a site for adults there are quite few rules and threads are rarely deleted.
