Simply put, the point is that you shouldn't post something that's outright offensive or something that would logically offend someone. Especially on a site where you're intended to either masturbate or admire japanese anime artwork. A grab and go, if you will. I don't mean a well-meaning joke, or a harmless comment related to your sexual preferences. And I also don't mean something like a completely casual statement that could only possibly upset the most fringe of people who don't have very good intentions. But in terms of slurs, political beliefs that insult people, unverified statsics you post to spite certain people, or just insults, it's not needed whatsoever. It's just being a dick. Potentially a hateful one at that.
This debate is much better suited on a website like Twitter or Facebook where users are free to express themselves in ways they want to. A mod deleting a comment on gelbooru because they're being a dick to others is fully justified. It serves no purpose.
