 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Template method


 * Who's involved?
 * User:Quuxplusone


 * What's going on?
 * Quuxplusone removed C++ code. I asked him not to remove that code without consulting first. I said it was code that I've written. He interpretes it as egoïstic. But egoïsm wasn't the case. My English isn't fantastic so the sentences I write come across wrong. The case is that he removes code for his own insights. I was forced to read his userspage to understand what motivates him. He needs to understand that many of us work hard and in our limited spare time we do our best: like adding code to Wiki. When somebody just removes it like that - for his own benefit - then he shows no respect whatsoever.

His "Style Crusade" is his own. He shouldn't destroy work. I consider it vandalism. The fact that he has an opinion doesn't make him any better when respectlessly removing code.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * Leave the code alone that I've written unless I made a MINOR technical error: then correct it or notify me. If it's major error or design/analisys error, then notify me or discuss first. I'm reasonable, but dont remove stuff entirely. It makes me just mad.

This is a nice example: my first day off in 2 weeks. And now I need to spend my time fighting...


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * I don't know what all is involved. I just want this solved so I can carry on without asking myself if somebody comes along and destroys stuff.
