I may have annoyed a future professor to the point of madness and hatred, but I have established that I am bold and do not take crap from anyone, even if they are the ones who are supposed to be teaching me. Unlike his student editors, this professor was willing to fight to keep my work in a condition which I want it viewed by others. He explained why he was suggesting changes, item by item, but still gave me veto power, with the ultimate understanding that they had accepted my work as-is, so any changes this round were my call. If they had accepted my work under the condition of revision, this situation would be entirely different, but I am not one to be bullied, and I have a severe case of artistic integrity. So, sometimes, complaining about something is really all you need to do to launch a solution.
