What Geni said.
Well what Geni said seemed rather vague, but your accusation sounded to me rather more specific. Which particular incidents of alleged "searching out" are you referring to?
I hope KR doesn't take your bait on this.
I should hope that anyone making accusations of that nature would be prepared to support them.>
While I'm inclined to agree with your sentiment on this matter, at least moreso than the converse, it seems blindingly obvious to me that the "accusation" in question was meant as an expression of a perceived trend, from one person's perspective.
I may have misread it, but Kevin's wording was as follows:
"I've come to the realization that people are searching out nude pictures to put in the 'pedia. They are looking to stir up trouble, mostly to make a point."
That seems to be a pretty specific accusation, aimed at a subset of those who upload images, specifically images involving nudity, accusing them of doing so with the intention of breaking Wikipedia policy.
I take that very seriously. It's an extremely damaging accusation, and if Kevin has evidence to support it he should make it public. If he doesn't well we'll know he's just hand-waving, indulging in attempt to denigrate those who have uploaded images involving nudity.
