IMHO the decision was fair, insomuch as the reason given was factually correct.

Immaterial of the reason given for deletion being factually correct, deleting the post was really quite needless was it not? It is worth mods remembering that people can feel quite offended when their posts are deleted/edited especially when it's for a pretty contentious reason.
That said, the mods generally do a great job on this site.
