As editors, we can and do edit content to bring it to a level of quality where we are willing to publish it.  Many of the submissions I review are of very low quality of writing.  They typically suffer from one or more of: poor grammar, poor formatting, inconsistent style, unclear rules.  If I am not sure of the rules, I ask for clarification.  Other edits I will often make myself to bring it up to sufficient quality, at least if I think the game is worthwhile.  It is not practical to engage in all the back-and-forth that would be required point out every mistake or adjustment that needs to be made.

Regarding this particular edit, the rule has been made less clear.  I interpreted the glossary entry the same way H. G. did, so there is room for improvement.

Regarding comments, I am seeing strong, confrontational language that I do not care for from multiple people.  It is essential - indeed required - that an attempt is made to be respectful.  I do not intend to go into details of which comments sepcifically, and by whom.  You all make valuable contributions to this site and I would like to see that continue.  And I understand we all become passionate at times.  But posters must be respectful.  Sometimes we just disagree and sometimes the correct answer, rather than digging in one's heels, is to let it go.  If it continues, I can and will start deleting comments.  Hopefully that will not be necessary.
