I'm still confused, though.  What did frodocooper actually do to those members' posts?  We're not talking about a mod writing stuff that a member didn't write in his post, correct? 
frodocooper usually edited badly quoted posts and as far as know, he never edited the content of posts.

And sometimes, the size of images which was complained by notblox1 in the following thread.

OK, all of that would seem to fall within the duties of a moderator.  Editing the actual words of someone's post would be bad, bad, bad--and damned if I can recall any mod doing that.  If someone had, I think even Theymos might have a problem with that, not to mention the community.

So is there still something to bitch about here?

That's you in a nutshell.

About 10 people told you why the rule exists and you just powered through it all - with your eyes closed & fingers in your ears - for the sake of continuing to not get it. Its not a matter of personal interpretation here.

Ah, sometimes these heated Meta posts just make me giggle like times of old.  I didn't spit my coffee out just now, but it's as close as I've gotten to it in a long-ass time.
