^ This (except for that bullshit about Empy, the guy was/is a tool).

I can understand the frustration, but I think most of these edits are made in good faith in an attempt to try and fix possible issues.

Unfortunately English is a mercurial language (especially in regards to British vs. American spelling, hyphenation, punctuation/em dashes, etc.) so errors and differences of opinions are inevitable. I once got in a back-and-forth with someone who insisted on 'fixing' contractions in other people's stories by removing them and writing them separate. They saw it as a matter of formality (and viewed contractions as informal).

The benefit of having an open editing system is that you can get multiple people reading/looking over your story who might spot issues you aren't aware of or typos. The tradeoff is that sometimes these edits aren't correct. Unfortunately the only way to combat this is to have people checking edits and making sure the changes are correct.
