Strange email from iVillage

So the other day, someone posts about "Cheating while Married" on our little board and I post the following response:
"Interesting. I previously believed marriage meant "for better or worse". Doesn't that include symptoms of boredom? Fix it or split"
Today, I get this in my email from iVillage:
"We are writing to you today because we have removed two of your messages (copied below) from one of our message boards. This is a gentle reminder about Terms of Service http://www.ivillage.com/about/0,,qr4p,00.html as well as Rules of Play http://www.ivillage.com/boards/0,,b46m,00.html and has not been logged against your account.
When you see posts that seem attacking or disruptive or otherwise violate Terms of Service please click on the ‘report a violation’ button within the body of that post to report it to the Community Team, we then ask that you ignore the messages while we have time to address them appropriately behind the scenes. All posts that are reported will be reviewed and if they meet the criteria in place they will be removed. Posts to the board to report problems could be considered board disruption and result in your own post being removed.
If there is a particular member who is bothersome to you, you can place that member on your ‘ignore’ list by clicking on their member name and then clicking ‘ignore’ in their member profile. This will prevent you from having to see posts by them in the future. We also want to take this opportunity to remind you that the Rules of Play ask us to “agree to disagree, respectfully” We ask that you refrain from name calling. Name calling is against TOS and becomes a board disruption and personal attack.
We are currently working behind the scenes to take care of the issue that has arisen. Please remember that further warnings can be counted against your membership with iVillage, and continued issues can cause your loss of membership with us.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me at relationshipscm@mail.ivillage.com

This has to be a joke, right? I didn't name call or attack...so needless to say, quite perplexed here. Also, I have no idea what other post they are referring to since this was the only thing I posted in well over a few months. Feedback, anyone?

If at anytime you feel that your post was pulled for a false reason you should immediately contact the moderator that sent you the notice of removal for clarification.
