@Shalvenay hey!

Has anyone been following the stackexchange meta discussion about the answer that got complaints for drawing parallels between Christianity and an apocalypse cult?

That answer recently got edited by another user with all references to Christianity removed, with messages in the comments telling mods not to revert it. While it's a pretty big-name user by the looks of their score, I'm curious if that's actually acceptable behavior. It's such a weird situation.

Well to be more specific, they rolled back to the edit another user made. But seeing how the user who made that edit complained about the original version and was resoundingly shot down by the community, this doesn't seem warranted.

Well, I do not stand for that and rolled it back to 8. Since I see no reason for him to do that.

It being a high rep user it doesn't really matter, all users passed the edit rep threshold can edit it if they want and in this case elemtilas has gone against a moderators own action to roll it back originally. I doubt the edit goes against site rules but it is probably bad form to do that kind of thing when there is such a strong response against the edit on meta.

Yeah, it seemed so weird

Especially when someone in an answer pointed this out:

"All in, someone is going to be offended. We do not censor just because someone is offended. We don't censor if someone is downright wrong. "

I self-censor when I'm wrong.

Also Adrian - Justice for Monica has been back and done work on the question since the initial edits so they are presumably happy with their answer as is and as such it is possibly going against author intent to change it.

like that question about ship interaction with particles in vacuum as the ship approaches speed of light

Yeah. This was just such a bizarre situation I was confused about etiquette and "chain of command" here

Ideally I feel like there should be some kind of lock on editing that answer but I don't know if such a thing exists.

I fucked up there, not realizing that while high speed -> less interactivity of a particle with ship, at the same time, high speed -> more particles to interact with. And in the end, what I thought to happen -> particles passing through ship without hitting any nucleus doesn't happen.

simply because there's so much particles

so I deleted my answer which has +5 by that point, and apologized, informing questioner I was most likely wrong

I guess that's what we should do, right?

or should it be done differently?

Looks like there is an edit lock, and it was just used

well that was an interesting event

@JasonClyde Yeah, I was a little reluctant to do that, but it seemed necessary. It's just temporary for 24 hours; I wanted to let people cool down a bit and move on.

@HDE226868 Makes sense.
