I strongly resent your reply. It seems like you have
some similar issues
with Pokemon articles and that's the reason you lashed out the way you did.
The reason I raised this issue on this mailing list is not because of some
misplaced sense of outrage. The incident I was talking about took place two
months ago and the only reason I mentioned it was to fully disclose any
relevant information so other people don't come on here later on and say
that the only reason I'm bringing this issue to the attention of others is
due to a vendetta against the Hebrew Wikipedia or something of the sort.
This isn't about me trying to provoke anything. It's about a certain group
of admins ignoring the fact that speedy deletion of porn articles was never
passed as a policy on hewp (and there is more than one sysop who can attest
to this). As I said previously, I don't have any particular interest in porn
and the fact that I've never edited an article that has anything to do with
this topic on the english wikipedia supports that. Ron Jeremy and Jenna
Jameson are both notable enough to have their own article on any wikipedia,
whether it be English, Hebrew or Malaysian. Attempts have been made to
resolve this issue "in-house" have failed, otherwise I wouldn't have posted
it to this mailing list. I can't find the specific meta page at the moment
but it isn't English Wikipedia only policy that wikipedia isn't censored. If
the german wikipedia decided to delete all articles regarding Nazi Germany,
etc. would you have reacted the same way? Or maybe if the Chinese Wikipedia
decided to ban all articles on the issue of democracy? I hope you rethink
your response and maybe try not to treat me as a troll when I really am not
one.

Perhaps you should make these arguments to the folks running the Hebrew
Wikipedia? How about
posting articles about famous Hebrew porn stars? See if that flies.
Would be a good test of what you say.
I do respect the Hebrew Wikipedia stance on this topic and standing up
for their culture. I have to agree
with that community. You should take your arguments back there.
Ask nicely to be let back on and see where it goes.
