My idea of "in context" is this: (it is the generally accepted journalistic view): The context in which a sentence appears is the surrounding text - the rest of the statement from which it is taken. The context of a sentence involves the buildup of meanings assembled from an entire utterance. One sentence's meaning is conditioned by those that preceed it and follow it.
The statement made by the member in question was not in any way amenable to discussion or debate. It represents a lowering to level zero of discourse here.
As to the rest of your statement. This forum is constantly moderated. Every single day mods discuss their decisions with other mods and admins. Decisions are made as regards the level of discourse. Periodically, it is decided to increase the level of moderation here because periodically it descends into rudeness and virulence.
That's sufficient explanation. I read what goes on here. I am in daily contact with the moderators who do daily duty here. I decided to take this opportunity to serve notice that this forum is from this point forward being more heavily moderated than it has been in the past.
The "community standard" you refer to is on its way toward improvement. You can be a part of that.
