Holy crap, Red Bruce is going back and editing his posts now to make them read completely differently than they did yesterday.
This is beyond belief and I hate the fact that I have allowed myself to be drawn in to petty internet dramatics like this.
The only thing that tops my own embarrassment for being part of this is the embarrassment I feel for redbruce given the way he has and is continuing to act.

Guess that's all a personal perspective/point of view.
For the record, the edited component (post#43) was:
1. Where I alluded to/assumed an apparently overly sensitive button in Johnny relative to other (specifically Gay reference in the quoted thread link) potentially or actual contentious perspectives, and relative to the (well maybe me, based on experience with many other forums associated with my other interests) assumed role, accountability of moderator. A point I might add similarly commented on by another respondent, ie. "suggesting that consistency is lacking, that is the issue. So much shit and abuse on this site is let slide - especially sarcasm and abuse towards new members, but suddenly this one post in particular is an issue").
2. Background influence/assumption (based on stated education; political policy, multi language competency, and top 7 consultancy employment, and hopefully associated I hopefully associated social science) so the question, why you didn't leave it at post #36. And yes, there was an attempted association with the standard of policy analysts (who'm I should point out I work with frequently) and the confidence/ scepticism (or otherwise we place in them and the Politicians so advised.
In hindsight probably too much assumption and not enough evidence on my part (although it has caused me to re evaluate the validity/value of post editing). Everything else still stands.
Does that make a "substantial" difference to subsequent events and outcome?
And, yes, I'm a little embarrassed, though not exactly for the reasons you propose.
