Yes, I would recommend people do this.
and then when they object to the request on several
grounds, including not
considering one of the images to be "fair use", say their comments are
"so
full of lies, misinformation and patent nonsense" that you must assume they
are "ignorant, not malicious" [

Did you read the comment she wrote, and my reply to it, or just the last
two sentences? The section of my message where I discuss the fair use
images is:
"Firstly, I could never have known that about the two images. Regardless
of the nature of their current status, the fact is, they are fair use
images and are not permitted. I quote: "[a]ll other uses, even if legal
under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep
the use of unfree images to a minimum". I must insist you remove them."
Both images state clearly that the uploader asserts the "... qualif[y]
as fair use under United States copyright law".
and finally (a whole 39 minutes after your first
request) delete them
yourself.[

Have I got that right?
I removed them, in accordance with our fair use policy, because she was
clearly not going to remove them. Is two talk page messages not enough
to establish that the images are not permitted on the user page? How
many do you propose I leave in future?
