If I were to say "a car almost hit a man on his way to work" and you responded with "there weren't any cars out last night"

Would we be talking about the same thing?

Look.  Here are some of Linkz's statements on the subject: 
"About moreno's edit,I don't think he knew what he said looked scummy,nor do I think possible scummates would have pointed it out, causing him to edit it."
"I just didn't think anyone would be paranoid(and plain bad) enough to say something like "No, edit that!" or anything similar that would have caused the edit."
"I don't think many people would think it was bad and warn moreno in such a way that it would have caused him to edit the post."

So when you say, "if you're right, and somebody came on and warned him..." it just blows my mind how you came to that conclusion. 

I mean, it's true he also said, "Something  like "don't do that again" or advice on how to deal with any questions that might come up, sure."  But AFAIK there is absolutely zero reason to suspect any particular timeframe for mafia coming online and telling moreno off, if you discard the edit, which Linkz argues is not a result of a reprimand. 

Frankly this whole thing is IMO just a murky mess with no likely payoff, but if you want to keep going with it, whatever -- just keep your facts straight. 

You're completely missing the point.

But there's no point pushing the issue. You're not one for tells and meta.

I'll admit I tend to be a lot less twisty than you are.  But I don't know what "point" I could be missing that validates what you said about Linkz's claim that from where I sit appears to be the opposite of reality.  It's not like you were going to trip up a mafia-Linkz by confusing him about his own statements. 

I'd understand thinking that the edit DID result, somehow, from contemporaneous fellow-mafia action; and THEN you could make a suspect list based on who was online.  But that is not what Linkzmax has been suggesting; and if we go to the scenario that IS compatible -- that mafia-moreno edited based on a warning that had been given to him PRIOR to the edit, and he did it completely on his own (based on the preexisting warning) -- then I don't see how your post, "if you're right, and somebody came on and warned him...well...these are the players I remember being on at that point" can POSSIBLY make sense in that context. 

"If I were to say "a car almost hit a man on his way to work" and you responded with "there weren't any cars out last night", would we be talking about the same thing?"
That would depend on when he was going to work.
