I'm on the road every two weekends, and processing pictures the rest of the time on my free time. I've provided around 8000 pictures to Commons, and helped to have pictures for articles like Cristiano Ronaldo, Roy Hogdson or Greig Laidlaw...
Just to read that I'm a fascist and an "anal retentive" because someone proposed a fucking picture of KitKat for deletion ? It was not even deleted, the discussion is still going on. And even if it was, the right place to go would have been COM:UDR, with a strong rationale, where people would have discuss it in a civilised manner. Not in this echo chamber...
So yes, one could say that the thread "was accusatory from the start, and quickly went to vicious". One could also say that this is a fucking disgrace.

Okay, guys, let's all take a step back and remember [[WP:Civility]]. (Yeah, I know that's a Wikipedia pillar, but can't we all at least get on board with that one?)
The tone of this thread was accusatory from the start, and quickly went to vicious. Maybe everyone can try it again with a bit of AGF.

P.S. Stephen, you are young and handsome, in fact rather dishy to my ageing eyes. Good for you. Keep in mind that your fellow volunteers might not have been born so lucky, and that being young and pretty all too soon passes into memory, sigh.
Fæ, this is not acceptable for the list (or for that matter on wiki). Stephen's neckbeard comment certainly wasn't helpful either but it's no excuse.
