Giuliano:
I don't think you're being over-sensitive. And I'm an ex-editorial
person. In law book publishing, there is a "fine line" between editing
for clarity and accuracy (of citations) in legal writing. This appears
to be substantive editing that significantly change the substance.
But I expect this is in a category, "journalism."
One solution is to require return of your edited text (fax would do)
with an agreement that you will reply within 24 hours or they can go to
press. You can also offer to go there to review changes, with an
understanding that you must have the final say as to substance.
Perhaps a conversation with your contact at the LJ would resolve the
matter to your satisfaction. They could publish an errata message or a
letter to the editor, indicating what you meant to say (or the text of
your message).
