dirk5027's comment makes me wonder- Why the quick action to selectively ban artwork from the gallery, while leaving hateful comments to stay?

I'm so used to reading misogynous and homophobic text that I subconciously filter it out. I was shocked when I looked through Legume's gallery that death threats still stand there. That's not just offensive and irresponsible, to post it and not to remove it, but if I'm not mistaken it's quite illegal to threaten to kill someone in an electronic communication.
