Holybandit, you were definitely in the wrong. You want a forum that allows dirty language, the Org is not it. Don't try to insult a good moderator by playing silly word games.

Some comments:
Firstly, I'd like to point out that in general you do not get any actual warnings for mild swearing and borderline cases.
What we usually send out is an "alert"/0-point warning that does not have any noticeable effect on the patron's account but just serves to point out to the patron that his/her vocabulary is not in line with what we consider to be appropriate on this forum.
Actual warning points are usually given when
a) a patron repeatedly ignores the alerts/0-pointers
b) refuses to edit the bad language in a post after being asked to do so
Of course it happens that certain words get pointed out by moderators in one case but are apparently ignored in another case.
Here I would like to quote from the Backroom sticky on bad language that Pape already referred to (some emphasis added):

Sometimes I can't see the points about the mod staff being too strict.
I'd say come with me to .com one day. imo the rules are far more relaxed here, ofcourse I'm not allowed to swear, well so be it.
I've been warned for calling RTW a bad game (well I used another word, has something to do with poopoo). If I would have made the rules that would have been allowed, but I didn't make them so there's little I can do is there?
