I viewed the posting of "awlmental", and I think I can understand your reasons for adding and deleting words. After all, you are the webmaster of the site and there is a particular way you want things presented; however, I was a little disappointed because some of the changes you made also changed the message or thought I was trying to send out. A humble request, well, maybe not that humble... please leave my work as is... my grammar and wording are intentional and purposed for the flow. I hope that didn't offend you...

I know I'm not supposed to talk back to my elders (I'm 22), but I have no peace if I don't speak.

We sincerely apologize for any unsettling feelings that may have arisen, in your reading your material after our editing. However (and please take no offense), we felt that it would better provide the volition and transition of thought in our version. Your material is exciting and new, however, as in ALL potential writers you must be open to criticism. A certain fluency was missing and after review from several staff members, it was decided to change a few phrases. There is no writer in the world that can merely submit works with falling under the pen of the editor. This is the world of publishing. At the age of 22, we hope that your maturity will accept this response. PLEASE, we implore you to not take these words hastily, but rather as support. Support to a wonderful writer... you.
