It does depend on what the site's policy is. If the right to edit your work without your consent is in the fine print that most of us never read when signing up, then they have the right to do that. Although I feel that if someone feels a need to edit your work, then the least they can do is notify you.

Personally I would pull all of my work off a site like that, but that is just me. The views and the votes aren't that important to me, I wouldn't want to be on a site where the powers that be has so little integrity.
Will check it out. I have a friend who is a brilliant artist, will send him the link as well.
That looks like somewhere in South Africa?

Would've been in stitches myself... not sure I would've been much help to them if I were the paramedic.
Zenzizenzizenzic.... very strange word that I do not know the exact meaning of, but my high school math teacher used it often when he was having one of this tantrums. A mathematical term I think, but goes over my head.
Tea with a dash of honey and a sliver of ginger... no sugar, no cream
Dear Lord... you know I never ask for much, but I really would appreciate 5 day weekends and longer days... an extra 6 hours will do (or if you can't do that, then make me need less sleep?).

And maybe just a tiny bit more self restraint so I spend less time chatting and more time writing.

Amen
My writing style differs with every one I write, they are all pretty much dependent on my mood at the time inspiration strikes...

Entered one of my poems though and got Anne Rice, which delights me no end... love her work.
Swimming....

Never tried surfing, but it's wayyyyy down on my bucket list...

Candlelit dinner or a sunset picnic on the beach?
