   Hey Marc—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

   I've been spending time on our NASCAR page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

   Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

   If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

   Thanks so much,

   Dave Mo

   Hey Marc,

   Katrina feels you are harassing her. Please refrain from posting on her Bulletin Board and she will do the same.

   Comment threads are obviously fair game, so long as you don't make personal attacks and keep it to debate/analysis.

   Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

   I understand your frustration, Marc. Again, please do keep in mind that you can always revert back to the original version of an article...and that editors really are trying to help (as I think is indicated by the contrite tone of Scott's first message to you). In any event, thanks again for your input, and please do keep the good work coming.

   Best,

   Ryan

   Thanks for your input here, Marc.

   Your concerns about the editorial process are valid and much appreciated. As you noted, we're working on ways to make the system more flexible to meet the needs of all writers (including those who don't want their work edited at all). I'd welcome any other insight you might have on the subject.

   That said, I do want to emphasize that every B/R editor will ALWAYS be trying to improve your work. A failure in this department won't be for lack of effort, or the product of any sort of malicious intent. You certainly don't have to accept the revisions if you don't like them, but I would encourage you to at least be respectful of those people who make them.

   You're right that B/R's collaborative model is unique. The editing process is a selling point for many of the network's writers...but that doesn't mean everyone has to like and/or use it. Again, never hesitate to revert back to your original work after an unsatisfactory edit. I'm hopeful that we can meet your expectations by the end of the month. If not, best of luck to you down the road.

   Thanks again,

   Ryan

   Marc,

   My apologies for the misunderstanding. If you don't want your articles edited, I'd suggest that you leave a note to that effect in the Editor Feedback box on the right-hand side of the Article History page. Otherwise, there's no way for editors to know to leave your work alone.

   Also note that you always reserve the right to override any revisions made to your work. (I noticed that the "NASCAR History" headline hasn't been changed since I edited it.) To make changes, you can click on the "Edit This Article" link on the right-hand side of the live article page. Please let me know if there's any confusion.

   Finally, I'd encourage you to remember that we're all on the same team here. My only goal was to help attract readers to your article. If you don't want me to do that, I'm happy to stay away--but I hope you'll at least recognize that all B/R editors will always have your best interests at heart.

   In any event, thanks very much for sharing your work, and please do keep the good stuff coming.

   Best,

   Ryan

    Please do me a favor and stop leaving comments on what I right, since you are so right about everything, and just can't seem to understand what I am righting about do me a favor stop be so ruded. My artical about race was just that, I never said Juan, Dario, and Patrick went thru the "Diversity" program but if you think those drivers being in the sport dosen't help in a huge way, to the point I know NASCAR use's them to help with it your out of your league. I have worked this sport from the pits to marketing, go try to match wits with somebody else please sir!!!

    Hey Marc, thanks for the pick. I still don't know how this site works. Didn't know there was such a thing as the pick of the day.

    Hi Marc,

    I'd like to apologize for any misunderstanding here. You see, I actually work with the site to edit articles and help authors get the most reads possible. By "front-loading" key words in headlines, your article stands the best chance of syndication.

    That said, you as the author have complete control over your work, and should feel free to undo any changes I make (or any editor makes). It's undeniable that you, the author, have the best understanding of your writing.

    Thanks so much for your note here, and for your contributions to Bleacher Report. I look forward to reading many more of your articles.

    All best,
    Gracie

    "Joe Boxer" will be missed ... though we disagreed often, he was a talented writer ... and his article titles were coherent.

    And you're as clueless as Scott.

    In his case he couldn't understand the difference between editing for spelling and grammatical errors and editing an article that changes the entire tone of an article, then.... when specifically given the posts location and what he did was dumb enough to claim he had no knowledge of the fact.

    You, by stating you would report any comment of mine whether "offensive" or not only goes to prove one thing, someone needs to call you a Whammmbulance!
