Yes, I taggued them all. And for these ones specifically, I chose fair 
use for personal reasons. Fair use was allowed at that time. So, I 
received plenty of warning and I complied and taggued them. The problem 
is the policy has changed since then... and fair use is no more 
acceptable. So ?

So, yes, it bugs me that for the second time, my images are deleted. The 
first time, some were deleted for not having tags, which was acceptable 
when I uploaded them (there were no tags then).
So, I taggued them, according to what was possible when I was asked to 
tag them. They complied with the rules... and later, they do not comply 
anymore, so are deleted.

So, yes, admittedly, that is bothering me a bit :-)
