Kind Comment from a kind person

Katherine, I'd like to comment on this statement you made on your userpage. I'd like to reiterate what I said before; once you click the "Save page" button, your contributions to Misplaced Pages are no longer your own. You must be willing to let go of every contribution you make to any articles here. Just as you are allowed to productively change articles written by others, so too can they change what you have done. Some people might find a better way to write a statement. Some might find a better layout. Similarly, you might be able to do the same for articles written by others. This is how the collaborative effect works to improve the project over the long haul, by continual improvement by editors with good intentions. Sometimes, even well intended edits will be removed or changed. This does not mean the contribution is worthless. It's part of the evolutionary process all articles at Misplaced Pages go through (some faster than others). By contributing content, whether it's a new article or changes to an existing article, you are subject to this evolutionary system. Your changes and additions are not your own once you click "Save page". You must let go. (dang, I feel like I'm Yoda talking about the dark side! :))

Article Evaluation

To all who have come to visit, the article below was posted by my room-mate and is of the same subject matter I tried posting a couple months ago--which caused quite a stir here on Misplaced Pages.

My room-mate and good friend Ezzie has since been blocked from editing (technically me too since we use the same IP Address--so I'm posting it here, and hoping for your thoughts. If you're among the group of Admins or Admin wannabes who have used this site to insult and power trip over other users please don't respond, and please don't post your WikiTags.
