When I was Staff, a number of people would PM me when they wanted to edit one of their IC posts after the ten-minute limit, and I would slip it in. I'm sure you could find a Mod who would be willing to do the same, if needed.
EDIT: Defensiveness comes because decisions are being questioned. How would you like it if you had someone busting your ass whenever you decided to develop Aqua into a new direction?
"Why the fuck did you have him break his nose? You should not have done that, you should have broken something more important. Breaking a nose isn't going to help anything, it won't do anything for your character. There is a void of bone-breakery that needs to be filled, and clearly, the nose isn't cutting the pastrami."
It's not just your post. It's the attitude of members in general. It's most definitely a cumulative effect.
