These are not dictatorial solutions.  I do listen.  I talked to the
guy who wrote the content in question that you copied. You are being
inflammatory in addition to being defensive.

You are wrong.  I do hear.  You do not always listen or make clear
requests.  You have options.  I do not always do what people tell me.

I do not impose, but I do edit, just like you.

Ask a question next time, maybe? instead of ... you know... freaking
out, maybe?  Please?

I can edit the category like other users, yes.  I will probably do it
again, too.

Ah, but you could not judge that all by yourself, though, could you?
What do you consider hyperbole, anyways?  Or unchecked assumptions?

I did undo the edits in a way that reflected your wishes as to what
content appeared on the page and informed you by email.  Don't be a
pill and make me produce the thread.  Besides, you can see the fix in
the edits on the wiki.  Plus I wrote extensive documentation on how
the solution works and sent you 3 emails last week and this week
asking you to review the protocol.  Don't even try it...
