I recently encountered a comment from a question's OP that looked like this:
I really don't like having my posts edited but I let it go this time because I know my post was poorly written. @Nai45, thank you for making my post more clear.
after I edited their post to make it on-topic.
Their reply comment is not rude or anything worthy of being flagged, but the user makes the incorrect statement of:
I really don't like having my posts edited but I let it go this time
because the OP doesn't get to control when their post is edited.
As a general rule for comments like these, what should I do?
I could
a) respond back with something like this:
@__user You're very welcome! Please also note that you can not control when your posts are edited or who they are edited by. Editing is a tool that is available to everybody in order to improve posts.
But I just fear that this action will spur a lengthy discussion in comments which I would like to avoid.
b) not respond:
This makes sense, but I also don't what the user to walk away thinking that they get to pick and choose when their posts are edited.
c) some other option:
Such as flagging (which is think is unnecessary in this scenario) or bringing it up on the said site's meta (which also seems unnecessary).
