I have been debating writing this response for the last several hours...

I'm sorry Szedki, but you need to go back and read [[COM:SCOPE]].  The first
line reads: "Wikimedia Commons is a freely licensed *media file
repository*(similar to stock
photography <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_photography> archives)
targeted at other Wikimedia projects."

What this means in plain English to us? That if an image is used by ANY
PROJECT for a VALID PURPOSE (in this case on en.wp for [[w:Semen]] ) - it is
IN SCOPE.

Just in case we're a little fuzzy here? What is a valid purpose... well,
anything other than an attack image.  Sometimes images get uploaded and
deleted shortly there after as being an attack image.  In the case of [[
Image:Semen2.jpg <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Semen2.jpg>]] the
image was added to [[w:Semen]] on *12:47, 23 August
2006<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Semen&oldid=71370118>
*.  (Yes, I went back through a few thousand version to find where it got
added).

The rest of our scope page goes out the window at this point in time.  I
don't care if you hate cumshots, I don't care if it is against your
god/country/religion.  This is COMMONS, it is for EVERYONE not just myself
or yourself.  Oh, and in case it helps:   The word "Common" is defined as:
Mutual; shared by more than one.  [ http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Common ]
.  Oh, and for the record, I don't much like the cumshot pictures either.  I
don't think you'll find too many people that do.

----

As for the rest of your email, I don't think I claimed to have any relation
to you - ANYWHERE.  Be it father, brother, uncle, archnemisis, priest, etc.
If I did, feel free to let me know.

As yes, I am tired of this argument.  But when I'm tired and angry at
people, I go out for a bike ride... not delete images.  I felt the need to
use strong language on my talk page to convey my point... not everyone may
appreciate it - but I was not directing it anyone.  Additionally, I think I
properly prefaced my comment so anyone with sensitive ears (or in this case
eyes) would be upset.
