Without seeing the P Ms I can't speak for whether or not he was rude to you.
What I can say is that he is absolutely right in his edit reason. Game difficulty is largely a subjective thing - it's opinion, and as they say "opinions are never wrong".note The only time when you're allowed to unilaterally remove such an example is if it is factually wrong.
For example, if he said "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is harder because you have to play it with a DDR dance pad." you could remove that because it's factually incorrect.
But if it's simply your opinion that the game isn't that hard then no, you're not allowed to delete it without taking it up in discussion first.
Edited by wrm5Keep in mind mods can see the text of P Ms. You're not the first to complain about My Final Edits -but complaining he was 'rude' has yet to be proven in public. Apparently he has a very firm tone when P Ming erring tropers, particularly several times, but nothing has been proven to be 'rude'.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettI've checked the PM. I've messaged My Final Edits since it was an unnecessary dig. That deletion reason is sub-par - it's too much reliant on personal opinion to be convincing. Game difficulty tropes tend be fairly subjective even when not flagged as such.

My Final Edits sent me an insulting private message over an example deletion he didn't agree with
.
Now, normally, when people challenge my deletions, I'm totally A-OK with discussing them, and that's what I would have done in response to his restoration (though to be honest, I think the objectivity of that trope needs to be brought into question).
But the problem here is not the example dispute, it's the fact that he decided to make it personal by attacking me via PM.
