I did not correct anything; this is not the Wikipedia, and people cannot edit each other's submissions. I pointed out that the rule description in your article was ambiguous, and why. At that point you could have rephrased that rule to make it unambiguous (like I now have done in the article about Metamachy that I authored, now that I finally understand the rule), and that would have been the end of it. Then you would have had the last word.

But for some reason that escapes me, you did choose not to do that, but instead argue about procedure: people have no right to criticize your submissions, want to have the last word, spoil your fun, make your variant look bad...

Of course that doesn't solve anything; the ambiguos rule description is still in your article. If you think that people will not like your variant when it has ambiguous rules, you have only yourself to blame for it by insisting the description must remain ambiguous. It is not my fault that it is ambiguous, and you should be grateful someone pointed it out, giving you at least an opportunity to fix it. But, as the saying goes, you can leed a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
