As far as image "post-production" editing, I think moderation is key, but a lot depends on the subject of the image. Every photo we take is subjective on a certain level, so we're "editing" in a sense all throughout the process - we choose where we point the camera, what the framing is, how the shot is composed, etc. Unless you're posting RAW image data, the camera is also likely "enhancing" the image by making color, white balance, contrast, exposure and other adjustments internally.
I've only adjusted two or three of my images, and this was only because the color of the photo did not adequately convey what I was seeing - One had a late afternoon background sky with very pink clouds against a deep blue sky - in the photo, the clouds just looked sort of orangey-brown and it failed to convey what I had seen in "reality". I've also cropped several pictures and taken HDR photos that I've been able to manipulate afterwards in order to bring out more shadow detail.
But it really depends on the subject. I'd photograph the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset with different artistic standards in mind than I would a pizza parlor menu board, but I don't think either of these images would necessarily be more important or worthy than the other. Some subjects beg for artistic interpretation, and some are more utilitarian, but both types have worth in their own ways, IMHO.
