gridlore: Doug looking off camera with a grin (M-16)
[personal profile] gridlore
One of the more annoying people on the Traveller Mailing List has begun editing quotes to meet his standards. Not just fixing spelling and punctuation errors, which is annoying enough, but wholesale changing of things like sentence structure and units of measurement.

Everyone has asked him, in increasingly strident tones, to please stop this, and he simply expresses amazement that anyone would be bothered by his editing, and that he has every "right" to change things and then represent it as a quote.

I am reaching the point of plonking the guy. He has pissed me off before, and is a right-wing moron whose views are strident to the point of solipsism. He's always right, and what he likes is of course what is best for all of us. But what gets me is that in the face of no support at all, he continues to contend that he is right.

Sorry. Kelly St.Clair here, the same guy who asked you a few months back if you wanted to be in a story. (Despite your recommendation, you were not killed therein.)

OK, coolness. I've added you to my friends list.

Not killed, hm? Oh, well.. there's always the sequel.
