Why would a person who hides their Q & A and accuses identifiable groups be surprised that he gets deleted?
Is libelling a group not cause for deletion?
Almost forgot I had posted a question. Rare event for me. I usually impose my craziness on others. Anyway, to explain if anyone returns, somebody had asked a question to which I wanted to reply using logic and reason (when will I learn) but when I went to answer the question was already deleted and supposedly I was going to be the first to answer. I tried to find other questions and was blocked so I couldn't impose my views. I'm almost certain the same event had happened with the same question earlier. I will not choose just yet.

Just about all the old regular contributors hide their Q&A lists from anyone not on their contact list.
And almost everybody criticizes other religious groups on here, atheists calling Christians gullible and stupid, Christians predicting Hell for atheists and members of non-Christian religions, or people picking out one religion that seems "off" to them, like Scientologists, JW's, or Mormons.
We don't go around hoping to delete other people's accounts.

Whether or not someone hides their Q&A should have no bearing on whether a post gets deleted, as it should ONLY be about the nature of the post in question.
Libelling may be a valid reason for reporting, but surely it's better to meet the accusation head-on and take it apart? Show it up for being libellous and the poster for being disingenuous.
Otherwise people are in danger of using censorship to just shut down debate, which is against the whole idea of free speech.
Moreover, if people are known to habitually use reporting to shut down debate, they will get a reputation of being report monkeys. Lots of normal people will avoid them and likely block them, which probably does much more harm to their cause because its adherents may be seen to be thin-skinned and intolerant of disagreement.
So I advise to only use reporting very sparingly, e.g. for beyond-the-pale abuse and commercial spam, and use argument to deal with claims you disagree with.

Unless you haven't noticed, there's a war going on in R&S.
Supplying the enemy with ammunition is foolish.
