Let me show you:
There is nothing like an editor who works for free, but I think my original more clearly conveyed the thrust I was seeking…However, don’t let me inhibit your ameliorative instincts–feel free to volunteer style changes anytime you find yourself moved to do so.
Free editors are great, but I prefer my version…don’t let that stop you, feel free to suggest changes.
Hope that didn’t come out too snarkily - just a bit of light teasing.

Well, maybe kidnap and murder, but WE DO NOT TORTURE!
I think that is fair. After all, a swift sweep with a sharp knife inserted between the fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae can hardly be called torture. The whole thing is over before you really know it…
No…I think they do it cause they just like it!
