Your stunning indifference to people's feelings and beliefs is utterly shameful.

I don't see how it's arrogant or selfish to try to defend people's options to write whatever they want to write, but go figure.
Stunning indifference to people's feelings? Oh really? Well, I stand by what I said regardless. If you're going to lecture me on me calling you an idiot on the shoutbox, I already said I take it back. If you don't want to let go, then that's your deal now, not mine.
Nevermind now calling me rude, hypocritical, etc. Y'know, call me what you want, I couldn't care less at this point in the narrative. I made my point, I said what I had to say. I'm not going to stick around reading attacks towards my person, specially when I do what I can to actually help and inform/educate. So, if you got anything else you'd like to add, you know where you can shove it.
Good day.
PS: Wait now, you edited your post while I was writing mine, not fair. To be honest, the job of a good teacher in my opinion is to present tools, information and method to people so they can decide what they want to do, and how. I can say my opinion, but there are a lot of parameters to talk about if we're talking about style recreations (which are founded in historical literature examples, which can be studied and analyzed.)
I do just that, I try to present people tools and information so they can take them and go do whatever it is they want to do, and actually realize what they want to realize. It's very different from "I don't like this, change it." If you're talking about a particular example where there is a norm, tradition and historical context, the corrections would be around particular examples in literature pertaining to that style and aesthetic, not my personal taste.
I hope that answers your questions.
