You just continue to miss the point ...

Not at all. You're upset over what you call "inconsistent moderator actions" and want to have a hand in drafting changes to the rules here.

I'm happy with the rules as they stand. They're not perfect, but allow the moderators to exercise discretion.

To the extent that some feel there’s an issue, I’m fine with letting the moderators continue to manage the posts here. They seem to be doing a fine job.
