I disagree there was A LOT of posting that crossed the line. You're right about certain posts which did. I'm sure I was one of the guilty ones using choice words. But if I recall correctly, posts that crossed the line of vulgarity or gratuitous insults were, in fact, deleted. I didn't complain about it then and I don't disagree with enforcing decorum now, as long as the debate is not being squelched because the topic is controversial. I still don't see the two situations as comparable, but I understand what you're saying.
