It's always nice to see people showing concern for the way the forum is treated!
For the record, in situations like this, the member involved is contacted privately and requested to edit their own post. At times this may make it appear as though the site admin are not doing their "job" and contentious posts sometimes remain on the site for longer than they should. However, we prefer to treat our members with due respect and in situations like this ask them to edit their own posts, in their own words, rather than be censored publicly by the mods. It is also often the case that a short discussion arises between the Mods/Admins before any action/contact is made, which ensures that responses are balanced and represent the opinion of the whole team and not just an individual. In many respects editing posts directly and remonstrating people in public would be far easier and quicker, but it goes completely against the atmosphere we have tried to create. I hope this makes things a little clearer and gives people an idea as to how the site is run.
We like to think of TMC as a friendly place, open to pretty much anyone (we let Cakey in after all!). All we ask is that members respect each other and the forum as a whole.
Thankfully we very rarely have to intervene, which must mean that somehow we've managed to attract a decent bunch of people
