And, I do the best job that I can, and that means enforcing the rules. That rule doesn't say "DO NOT post or request photoshop / edited fake photos, except for joke pictures". I don't consider enforcing a rule as written to be abusing my power, but you are entitled to your own opinion, of course.

First of all, I don't anger "easily" .... but when it's justified, I'll call something what it is. Saying I "anger easily" because out of the countless posts I've made and hundreds of THANKS and praises and respect I've given for the fine work of so many here that less than 1% of what I have ever posted here has been "angry" is at the very least an overstatement and an obvious intentional dig. Just because I'm not so fixated on spankin' it or trying to garner clout with the self-appointed "in crowd" here that I won't take pause at arrogance is hardly justification to label me "easily angered". You, however, have angered me.
I thought my pic was pretty cool and worth sharing as an interesting (and very topic-relevant) "what if" more than a "joke picture" as you call it. And it's better work than the vast majority of hacks can manage in Photoshop. That having been said, I understand that no one wants to see any of these fine threads degrade into altered pics as any kind of regular thing. This is where you chose "letter of the law" over SPIRIT of the law.
All over this site, there are "violations" of the rules. There are watermarked pics, HC in the Softcore section, pics of girls that every decent pervert knows as a pro being posted as amateurs. But you know what, I really don't mind those minor violations of the letter of the law because if they started any kind of undesirable trend, I know you mods would (and do) axe it. I just think that picking on me is a bit petty, considering.
So when you make veiled threats like, "pick your battles wisely". To you, I say, I do indeed.
