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

    [12:19:35 A] <Sophiie> hi, can a page be undeleted just to see what it once was?

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?
