Bad edits accepted despite already being rejected

The review process does not seem to work like I thought it did.

I've seen plenty of bad edits where users have added superfluous information just to try and get reputation or changed the English so it is no longer valid or even reworded it so badly that the questions meaning has been changed entirely, in many of these cases I've seen conflicting accept/rejects but not really understood why.

Today a user edited my own question. He changed one sentence so it was no longer good English and incorrectly prefixed a method name with 'the'. To anyone reviewing it properly it would be obviously wrong.

I received a notification of a suggested edit so I thought that meant I'd get to review it myself, however it had been auto-accepted by 'Community'. Following that accept, somebody had correctly rejected it as a bad edit, but after that another user had accepted it, despite its being wrong and despite another user's having already rejected it.

Aren't edits only meant to get rejected or accepted once? How comes the second user can incorrectly override the decision? And are all edits initially accepted (by Community)? And is there a way for me to reject edits to my own questions or only the 'rollback' option?

Thanks for your time (Edit in question: https://stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/5475063)
