>>We're talking about men and women whose lives are being affected and worry for their safety every day

I was reading /r/FPH on regular basis for few weeks before it was closed as I've found it entertaining even if distasteful. I think you have very skewed view of what it was:

-posting identifying personal info was forbidden/removed by the mods

-linking to other parts of Reddit was a no-no

-I can't remember seeing anything threatening on it there was no discussion about threats or doing bad things to specific people; just over the top venting

That is unless you understand "safety" as it is too often interpreted today: hearing not politically correct opinions. If you think the decision has anything to do with removing harassing subreddit try visiting /r/coontown and think why it's still online.
