It is wrong to edit this topic title.

Lately I have noticed alot of titles on the posts have changed, and subsequently, the mods have let us know that later on in the post. I understand their position, more so with the case of I HATE COPS ...... post. I could see how that might cause a slight problem and could possibly use a little constructive editing. What bothers me (not that anyone gives a rats a$$) is that now you mods are changing the titles of posts like "I traded my mustang for a T/A" to something you deem more appopriate. WTF is that?

No flames intended, as I value my membership here and love the site. I know you guys have your agenda and act accordingly, but don't you think it is going a bit far? You are basically putting words in peoples' mouths. If the topic title is extremely offensive or confusing, it might be ok, but some recent actions have been questionable, IMHO. To think it is relatively harmless wouldn't be a stretch, but the implications are foreboding. How soon is it before you decide to modify actual post content to tailor your needs?

An analogy used before was that the BOL is like your living room. A good analogy IMO, but think of how you act in your living room. If someone asks a question or makes a statement, do you ignore them and instead interpret your version of what was spoken? What kind of conversation is that? I think we should all have the right to infer what we may from a topic title, with discretion by you reserved for the nasty, hostile or extreme ones.

A major contribution that I think MustangWorks has made to the "mustang community" is it's ability for people to communicate on common issues. Wether we can't decide on 3.73's or 4.11's or BS'ing about what other hobbies drain our wallet besides the stang, this is a great place to discuss whatever is on our mind. I believe this is best done in most cases without our words being altered, even if ever so slightly. It is a matter of principle. No flames, just a little constructive criticism .
