Forum:Not deleting everything offensive in comments

I've had this "idea" for a little while and kinda lived with it, but just now I decided to bring it to others' attention.

As I live in Special:RecentChanges, it's not new to me to see blog comments getting deleted by some blog patrollers because they are disrespectful towards other users, such as containing UTP breaches. While these comments are obviously bad and the people who leave them shouldn't be left without consequences, they usually have a point (some anons usually leave arguments with insults because this is the internet) which shouldn't be ignored.

What I'm proposing is that blog comments shouldn't be deleted even if they violate UTP or by other means are disrespectful, as long as they have something else to it, similar to talk page posts. It makes the place look communistic (or Applebees facebook page, lol), since most criticism is deleted, which has lead to numerous "Why was my comment deleted" posts, also because the deletion log is kinda difficult to find for an inexperienced user.

Obviously, consequences would still be dealt when necessary, and when the comment is nothing else than insults (in a fashion to the anon bombardments on Sam's talk page, now deleted) it can be deleted.

This had actually bothered me since ze Doctor talked to me about this some time ago, here.
