The correct storyline is that Mr. Wales caved to the slightest bit of media pressure and engaged in full-out censorship of artworks and diagrams, showing that anyone who wants to get something removed from Wikipedia just has to threaten Mr. Wales.
This was a disgraceful action, made all the more disgraceful by you not being honest as to the reason for your actions up until now. You kept the media pressure secret from the community, and claimed it was a legal issue.
Disgraceful!

Do you understand that not all images you deleted were hardcore pornography? What was the reason of wheel warring on them?
