Hey there, I'm pondering an article about the draft needs (first round) of all the teams in the nfl, and how they match up with the prospects, I was wondering if you could give me some insight on your team, the Rams?

William,

I agree that making this public was unnecessary. I was surprised you decided to post publicly on my bulletin board about this. You chose this public venue.

Be fair about what I deleted. It was a single sentence, not a paragraph, and it was an apology "for having offended any retarded people", which begs the question, if you realized you might be offending anyone, why use the word at all? It makes more sense to change the word than to write an apology for it.

I removed that sentence not to censor it, but because it no longer made any sense at all, once the title was changed to no longer use the word "retard". People would not have had any idea what your apology was about.

Again, I'm sorry if you feel censored- that was not my intent.

Also, I never said you were disrespectful to me. I was saying let's just agree to disagree, respectfully, and move on.

This in public is, well, not right.

If the word offend you, change it to any of the euphemisms you prefer. Deleting a para graph was way too much.

Especially frightening was that was all you changed. There are several links you could've made active, but decided that was beneath you.

Yeah, I'll put it away.

BTW, when has my disagreeing with you been less than respectful?

I take editing like a man. Censoring gets me upset. By removing a whole sentence when aiming at one word upset me. I'll chalk that up to your emotion.

I might be accused of talking down to you, but how else do you tell someone not to remove a whole paragraph when 1 (one) word offended them.

William

PS If you need to have the last word, I won't respond.

William,

I am sorry if my actions offended you, but as I explained in a comment to that article, I don't believe that the use of the term "retard" to refer to a person you disgree with is appropriate. Your choice of words affects how others view our entire community. I usually do not make large changes when I edit, and I don't believe that changing one word is such a large change. I stand by my edits, but you, of course, are free to change the article back.

I have enjoyed reading many of your articles, and I hope that we can agree to disagree respectfully about this.

Andrew,

Next time you edit an article make small changes. You know if they use TE, make it Tight End. If they say first loss in one thousand one hundred and twenty seven games make it 1,127 games. If they use a link make it "click here" instead of 5 lines. That is editing.

You are not the censor, you are an editor.
