I think that's fairly naive, actually. I'd rather suspect the story Fox
(which seems to be your main concern) will go with is "We were right all
along, they *were* hosting kiddie porn! Just look, they deleted it all
after we exposed their filthy secret."

As I said earlier, your actions make us look guilty when we're not. If
we had had a reasoned discussion about it instead of you wildly flailing
at the "delete" button, then we could have actually pointed at
[[Category:Pedophilia]] to demonstrate that we *don't* actually host
illegal materials. On this, I am in complete agreement with Greg Maxwell.

There *is* cleanup to do. And there *is* PR to worry about. But your
actions have been counterproductive on both issues. Give Jay a pat on
the back for me next you see him.
