ok, i'm going to go ahead and try to keep this civil. Something I wish I would see from you, Entropy, since you constantly bring in irrelevancies specifically to annoy me. Incidentally, when you are so aggressive and insulting (such as questioning my intelligence by asking what planet I'm on, or bringing up another subject about how you don't like the polls), I have to assume either that you are joking or that you're just being a jerk. In either case, I'm not going to take it seriously. Here's what I have to say about it seriously:
One: If making changes to your article without permission was a problem, then you should have checked "Please ask for permission before making any changes." It's that simple. Therefore, I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware that it was a major problem to change something that really isn't so substansive to the article.
Two: As for why I think the conversion to an American rating is Most of our audience, to my knowledge, is still American. "Rating 15" means nothing to American readers. In fact, it would be a source of confusion to most, who may wonder if that's a rating of goodness or what. This even if they are familiar with the British rating system, since the context is a book review not a movie. I still feel that the conversion to an American system is more clear to the majority of our readership. But, since you presumably haven't checked, after my sarcastic remark about refusing to change it I *did* change it to "R." This is obviously not an exact corellation to "15" but it is much closer. I'm willing to meet you halfway and put "Rating: R (GB 15)" or soemthing. Would that be better?
Three: sort of a reiteration from my first paragraph. It's all well and fun if you want to joke around with me and be abusive and make fun of each other. But if you're serious about getting something done, or making a complaint, I REALLY recommend being less of a jerk about it. When you have a serious suggestion, using sarcasm and semi-witty insults are not taken seriously. I'm sorry that you feel I've been egotistical, but as you have pointed out repeatedly, we both have rather large quantities of arrogance. I'm not sure what has been bugging you besides two polls that had my name in them, one of which was completely self-denigrating and the other of which had as many insulting responses as self-glorifying ones.
I don't know what else to say.
