Posts can be flagged by users. If you were overtly offensive, I wouldn't be surprised.

there was a decidedly sexist article overnight (1AM-ish PST) which I (apparently among many others) flagged... and it was gone within a couple of minutes!
I wasn't offensive at all.
Whether you think your post was offensive and whether it actually was seen as offensive by other readers are, well, very different questions.
