I wrote a reasoned, but critical, response to this guy and he edited my Disqus response with a childish personal attack before approving it. He justified it by saying my Disqus post history was about gaming and telling people they were overreacting. Take from that what you will.

Can you tell us more about what you wrote and what was edited? If the author is lying, it should be brought to light.

I suggest you read http://www.examiner.com/article/wikipedia-s-new-editing-soft... (especially from "His name is Oliver Keyes"). Our herald of sensitivity was previously known for outburst like

    [12:19:35 A] <Sophiie> hi, can a page be undeleted just to see what it once was?
    [12:19:47 A] <Ironholds> Sophiie, fuck off and die
    [12:19:50 A] <Ironholds> thank you

TBH, he looks more and more like a troll, and pretty talented at shit stirring. And removing people like that from your projects is best done early.

Ah, yeah. I understand perfectly why the decision "we're better of without you, bye" took like ten minutes.

I basically said that the concept of "giving head" had transcended a particular gendered relationship. In other words it had moved far beyond just being about a women giving head and that it was just about human sexuality at this point. I said his stance on the phrase was behind the times. It wasn't exclusionary, it was sexual and I think those are important to distinguish.

He edited my post to say I only cared about telling people they were overreacting and talking about games. I own a company in the video game industry. What do you think my Disqus history will have in it?
