In the email thread mentioned below, you said that you didn't like the way I had added a link to a review of a work you were talking about, which you believed to be "a very bias review that has nothing to do with finding any critique errors at all."
Linking other related articles is a standard part of editing on Flayrah. But you're right: I do think it is important for other views to be heard; especially views that have been polished by Flayrah, and may be of interest to readers - even if you disagree with them. Not necessarily heard as loudly, but made available.
That is one part of the "price" of submitting to a community - accepting that your views will be compared to and presented alongside the views of other members of the community. There are plenty of sites where you can present your own views without editing, comparison and/or comment. Flayrah is not one of them.
And that's one reason crossaffliction was so annoyed when you deleted the story you wrote; not only were its editor's contributions removed, but those of all the commenters as well.
In the end, I took pity on you and told you how to go about removing the story, but arguably after publication it should not have been within your power to "take your ball and go home".
