Because I don't like when creative processes become collaborative in circumstances when they shouldn't be collaborative. The whole point of something like Milo's book is to hear his voice, the voice of a radical, as ridiculous as that voice may or may not be. I hate how everything always has to be reigned in and smoothed over, for countless insipid reasons, by tedious, practical, uninspired people who wield any amount of power. If Milo himself wanted raw, unedited Milo then he wouldn't be working with a publisher. The fact of the matter is that the things that are being edited in that manuscript are things that get in the way of people hearing his voice. It's also like when people say they want "realistic dialogue" in movies. You use the term "tedious" to describe the editor, but reading the manuscript is tedious in it's original form. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:893088050] in Milo Yiann...

I hate how everything always has to be reigned in and smoothed over, for countless insipid reasons, by tedious, practical, uninspired people who wield any amount of power. From the looks of the manuscript, Milo is nowhere near as good a writer as even Mick Foley, who had suffered significant brain damage before writing five autobiographies, four children's books, and two novels. Okay, and? the point is that editors are important, especially for someone whose writing is as bad as Milo's I don't mind a lot of the obligatory semi-dumb replies to my posts, but yours are inane cave scratchings. I know that editors are important. Anyone who's writing something for publication, especially if it's longform, relies on an editor to catch logical and grammatical errors. I've never disputed that. Why have you brought it up multiple times? What are you really arguing against? Yes, you're a cliche SJW who hates this guy because he doesn't seem to fall in line and maybe damages your embarrassing cause; I get it. <cite>ilfait posted [p:893088264] in Milo Yiann...

Yeah, an editors job is also to find logic errors in books and make the book more presentable and that's exactly what the editor in the manuscript is doing... his job. Editors basically play the devil's advocate/contrarian when doing their job, in a lot of cases the editors don't necessarily have to agree with the content of the book. --- It's what all true warriors strive for! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:893105255] in Milo Yiann...
