The editor strikes again<\/p>\n
First, let me thank The Jakarta Post for their past indulgence
\nwith the few short and light articles I have submitted. Also I
\nwould like to comment on the overall quality of the paper in
\ngeneral which is of a high standard, easily surpassing many mass
\ntabloids in the West. Well done The Jakarta Post!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately the letters section, a common favorite with the
\nmajority of readers, persistently spoils the satisfaction of this
\nsection by rewriting letters, turning points and indeed entire
\nthemes upside down.<\/p>\n
In my previous letter, (The danger of generalizing, Aug. 27),
\nthe sentence \"a fine sociologist\" was exchanged for the original
\nsentence \"a fine sociology,\" which of course is an entirely
\ndifferent thing -- a sociologist being the practitioner and a
\nsociology the practice. Other sentences in my article were
\nfiddled with and split, scattering the points rendering them
\nincomprehensible.<\/p>\n
I note that this is a problem experienced by many past
\ncontributors, who follow up their original letter, (as I have
\njust done), attempting to redress the editorial damage inflicted
\nupon their work. Finally I send this letter with trepidation
\nwondering what new meaning it will assume or how incoherent it
\nwill seem in its published form.<\/p>\n
