Whatever they were, I obviously can't go back and look now after the edits, I've used the same lines over and over again for several months with no complaints. To me, the edit is a very trivial application of the rules.

Why did that post get modded? Because the insults were completely unnecessary to the content of the post (which, quite clearly, I read),
But what's the rule? Is there a rule that states that insults that are necessary to the content of a post are acceptable? If not, what you just said makes no sense.

along with the largely respectful tone of the thread.
And other people's tone to me in the thread was highly disrespectful.

I don't remember, but I suspect another poster reported them to us as personal insults.
You don't have a copy of the message sent to you?
