Well, I'm not going to respond to everything you've said, mostly because others have done this already. There's no point in impugning each logical fallacy made...

But anyways, about moderators and the rules.

A new draft of the rules has been written and posted (not on this wiki, but you can guess where it is). The new rules provide definitions of bad language, spamming, etc. They also deal with the contradictions between our rules and the LMB rules. However, we did not totally remove the MB rules. Why? Because when we had a community vote, the majority wanted to keep them.

We have also recognized and are taking steps to solve the problems with moderators. Moderators need to understand that respect should be earned, not demanded. Equal respect should be given to everyone, regardless of whether or not they can ban or kick you. A moderator training has been written up (not sure when Drew's going to give it out to the mods...) that addresses these issues and more.
