I am gobsmacked that you are asking this here and saying that you
haven't received answers when you asked in a different forum (which

Removal of vicious personal attacks depends on the nature of them.

If they are potentially libelous, suppression[1] can be used.  In
other cases, "poor mans oversight"[2] is often used by admins and
oversight volunteers.
