Any user has the right to edit their posts for two hours, that is why the function exists. All post iterations, every edit, are always on the record.
To be clear---we consider posting properly edited content to be quoting inaccurately, especially when done to try to 'out' someone for content that they fixed or changed on purpose. That is why the post was snipped. We don't take editing any user's posts lightly.
I'm thinking that the original post speaks something to the poster's mindset. I also think that "Mrs Tibs" having such a thing done is horseshit. The original post was caught on the fly, as has happened plenty before with no such editing, and at that point it seems relevant to me.
Is there a rule against quoting edited posts in order to show meaning or motive? Once you hit "send", it's out in the wild. I've edited many posts, mostly for spelling, and sometimes to take out rudeness. And unlike some people, I'm willing to own that.
