Ah, but the emails in question contained diffs which they claimed shewed that the administrators in question were "abusive". Should those have been let through?
If you get to the point where you need to ask the list if you should have moderated the message, you should send it to the list. Sending a message saying that you considered moderation because of its tone may be appropriate.
I.e., when in doubt, err on the side of transparency.
