If the change is just too significant I'd fix to make sure MY meaning comes across. I wouldn't be upset at the editor if I didn't explain myself correctly, which would probably be the case.

At first, my head exploded, but once I put it back together, we discussed his reasons and my reasons and eventually came to an agreement: I was right.<br /><br />But I'm not always.
