Swaying them to your opinion is irrelevant. At any rate, I do not think the point of this forum is for readers. We are doing it for ourselves. This is a place for people to talk to each other. We are not the Alexandrian library of theism and atheism.
While it may not be censorship, it is condescending. Who are you or anyone else to say what is mature and what is not? Is telling adults how to behave in an open forum mature? Is passive aggressive asides telling others how immature they are whilst engaging in the same nonsense mature? Is wasting time debating with someone who is never, ever going to actually debate you mature? We all have different ideas of what is acceptable and what is not. In this forum, the only ideas that matter are the rules. Beyond that, people are free to behave as they want and free to be called out for it, particularly if they are being insulting.
