I'm obviously not the professor, but I'd wage a bet that his statement about having been "lenient" about any "issues" (that you describe as him having said something is "wrong" with your paper - which he did not say) - anyway, I'd guess that it is something like sentence structure, grammar, spelling, citation format, or some other minor "technical" errors. It seems like an awful lot of energy to spend on an A- vs A, that has escalated to the point that you called a professor an a-hole to academic staff and got yourself in a disciplinary thing, and might face uncomfortable consequences for a long time. Energy that would be better spent developing coping skills to better manage real or perceived unfairness.
