Letter to the Editor's: Stop changing the writer's content

Here we go...

I have been a writer for bleacherreport.com for a little over a month.  I have written several articles.  I enjoy writing the articles, and I have my own writing style.

However, I am an editor as well.

I do not go around changing the content of other articles.  I simply look for errors such as, spelling, grammar, punctuation, spacing, capitalization, formatting, etc...

I do not change the pictures nor do I try to make an article one of my own.  It is not the job of the editor to do so.

There has been more than one occasion in which my article(s) have been totally changed.  If I use (parentheses) that means I wanted it like that.  If I use ... that means I wanted a .... 

So, please feel free to look at my articles to see if I missed a comma or forgot to put in a simple word.  But, DO NOT change my article to make it what you think it should be.  Do not change my picture to one I did not choose.

 I make mistakes, and they need correcting.  Just don't make an article worse than it was.

OH YEAH!  Do not remove tags.  If I write about the sweet sixteen, i may tag it with "final four" or "elite eight", big deal.  It's ok.

Now if I were to tag it with "NFL", I might expect a deletion.

Chances are, I will just revert to my original post after you waste your time editing.

Think yew an hav uh nise dey.
