It may not make you feel any better, but I'm willing to bet the following things:

Post don't get removed unless they are reported by a member

Reports are taken at face value and the moderation team do not even read the post they are removing

The email you receive notifying of a post's removal is automated based on the reason chosen by the reporter

I know being "told off" by the mod team can sting a bit, especially if you feel the slap was unjustified, and it sucks (IMO) that there is such a poor system of moderation on a forum of this size, but (again, JMHO) I'd take it about as personally as I take the automated phone messages say "thanks for holding, we value your custom..."
