Forum shopping typically describes someone going from forum to forum trying
to get a different decision on some particular thing they want. In this
case, I don't think privatemusings is looking for a specific outcome (like
deleting an image, achieving a block, influencing an AfD, etc.). The object
is, and has been, to raise awareness of this as a significant issue.
The general subject was discussed recently in more detail on Jimmy's en.wp
talkpage. That discussion can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales/Archive_43#BLP_and_images.
Some other things addressed in that section are userspace galleries of
explicit images under headings like "hot" "admiration of the female
form"
etc.

Sam - I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure
privatemusings has as much
right
as you or anyone else to post to this list. If
you prefer not to discuss
it
further, then you can simply refrain from reading
the posts or
responding.
Sure, he has the right to post. However, forum shopping (if that is
indeed what this is, and it does look that way) is generally frowned
upon (mainly because it's a waste of everyone's time, including the
poster's).
