I don't really respect your counterargument
either. You're proposing
that we cave to a minority that has a bone to pick with a project to
build a free encyclopedia. We are in the (non-profit) business of
providing information to people, including culturally relevant images
that some people may find offensive. There are many ways they can
protect themselves -- turn off images for example. This seems
reasonable to me and doesn't require that we bend our core policies to
appease anyone.
Worse than that - how many of them even came to Wikipedia in the first
place? They don't want these images to *exist*. I really don't see how
a compromise is possible.
