Why don't you write articles about these, or a meta essay based on
them.  Here is another good place to start:

How about 'unclean hands'.

In the recent en.wp discussion that you mention, you added an image of
a erect penis on the main noticeboard, and said that an editor down
the pub told you that it was Giano's member.

And you have embedded these images, which you decry as inappropriate,
on your own essay:
