Which 6 publications do you run? I've no idea if I write for them... but the two you mentioned, I don't.
I have withdrawn drafts recently due to contentious topics. I was obviously feeling brave in the moment, but later, I worried there might be a backlash.
After waiting four days, I didn't think the editor had noticed one of them was there, frankly, let alone noticed if it disappeared!
I'm trying to think it through more, if I'm in two minds about whether publishing is a good idea!
I don't think anyone did any editing though. Never sure HOW to contact an editor, to be honest. Never had a reply to a private message yet!
