None of my deleted posts fell into those categories.

I used to believe that too. But what I have witnessed with my own eyes (and described in general terms without naming people by name or calling anyone names) and what I have experienced personally (having that post, and others, deleted) have caused me to change what I believe, and have made everything I read "over there" seem utterly believable.
I also think you are mistaken to assume that people hadn't raised complaints through proper PM channels prior to this blow up. I think the blow up is largely the result of complainants' frustrations with a lack, or at least perceived lack, of serious response to their complaints. Which is to say that even if the lack of response was merely perceived, the blow up was not just a mass tantrum.
