This is why when we remove problem posts, we remove the whole thing, rather than edit out the bad. That would be destroying evidence.

The problem which exists as currently proposed, is that taking away (censoring) posts previously accepted without censure from current public view, constitutes the destruction of evidence. The text is no longer available in the event of future/subsequent argument and has been suppressed.
The immediate censorship of objectionable language falls into an entirely different category.
