I am not saying they are deal-breakers. I am saying nothing should be changed and published without my knowledge.

Everyone makes mistakes. I certainly do. That is why in my article I said that if an editor thinks a change needs to be made, they should inform me before they make the changes or send it back so that I change them or publish my work elsewhere.

Where do we draw the lines on "simple grammar"?

You are an editor Kevin, and you are probably smart enough to know what and what not to change but not all editors are like you.

He deleted my entire paragraph and edited some sentences in my article too because he thought those feelings and words were irrelevant.

He also did that to other articles. I guess to him, these too were trivial. In his mind, he was helping my articles perform better.

What you consider simple changes can be exaggerated to satisfy personal biases by people like him. This is not about changing inserting comas or fullstops alone but I fear that we've begun going away from the original point of my frustration. So I humbly request that we stop here.

PS: You and I have had two interactions. One was on Twitter and the other is this. Both are about my frustrations with publications hahahahhahaha... I'm very sorry we keep crossing paths this way... Let's drop this one. I am sorry for the rants.
