Sorry for the delay in replying to this! I appreciate that you were intending to follow the guidelines and apologize that I didn't pick up on that and instead interpreted your edit as abusive. I thought you were rage-editing, which is sort of the message-board equivalent of turning over the chessboard and storming off. That happens quite a bit and I erroneously pattern-matched your comment to that behavior.

The "edit out swipes" guideline is intended more along the lines of "please edit out any guideline-breaking swipey bits from your comment, while leaving the substantive point intact."
