Nov 16, 2013 at 3:01 comment added jmac @Glen, exactly! Thanks for stating what I wanted to say so clearly. That is spot on.
Nov 15, 2013 at 14:51 comment added user1209 Excellent question. As an editor, you want to maintain the author's voice. But as a site maintainer, you need to make sure the questions are high quality which means you may mute some of the author. My vote would be to prioritize site quality over an individual's voice.
Nov 15, 2013 at 8:09 comment added jmac @Meredith, as I tried to explain below, a closed question doesn't help the person who asked, or future visitors. It doesn't get answers. Since asking 'what should I do with my life?' is off-topic, it is hard to keep the same context while keeping it within site guidelines. Bearing in mind that closed questions provide no help to anyone, how can we keep questions like this open, and with all their context if not to edit out some of the off-topic material?
Nov 15, 2013 at 7:43 comment added Meredith Poor A lot of these should be edited - overall I'm in agreement with your rationale. This particular one lost too much in translation. My perspective from the original post is that the poster was not merely confused about how to compose a question, but not sure what they wanted to do with their life - some of the complaints are basically just part of the human condition - you don't always get to work with people you're comfortable with. This is what 'disappeared' in the edit.
