Well allow me to be the first person to say "I am sorry to hear that"

But seriously, if that's your attitude, I don't think we really need you around. IF there are other choices they can have you.

I am being brutally honest, and that's because I have been contributing to this site since 2005. I've had stuff that I've contributed changed, deleted, and what-have-you because for whatever reason the community felt like it needed to be done.

And I say "community" for a reason, because that's what a wiki is. It's open source. People will go in and make changes to your work, or delete it, or whatever.

But if you have a problem with that, by all means do whatever you think will vindicate your sense of hurt pride.

I can't speak for the situation that you are referencing. But perhaps instead of giving a empty threat (IE: the whole "I'm never contributing again" speech, not the first time any admin has heard this) or being a stubborn git about anything that happens that you don't like, perhaps you can try to talk to people and get an understanding of their standpoint and -- I don't know -- maybe learn something -- like working with other people, which is a hot skill set to have I have to add -- and perhaps you might find a way to find compromise and work on the wiki in a way that pleases everyone.

.... And now that I've said this, if I have come up sounding like a complete jerk, and speaking down to you and like I'm being condescending... Well I am just responding in the same tone you put up front.

That said, antagony and threats are empty in a community environment. And I will reiterate that if this is how you choose to act, then, the best to you. Enjoy whatever other endeavours you are going off too.
