Therefore, all fouls but this one, that is a foul by the offense behind the basic spot are penalized from the basic spot unless the spot is otherwise specified by rule. This one foul is penalized from the spot of the foul."
This discussion started referencing a player (presumed to be an opponent/defensive player) tackling by the facemask. The concept of, "All-But-One" applies EXCLUSIVELY to Offensive fouls

You have just posted the definition of all-but-one. The "ALL" is EVERY OTHER FOUL, both offense and defense.
The "BUT ONE" refers to offensive fouls behind the basic spot.
