The blots aren't harmful and that was never the argument anyway.  It is not 
necessary the images themselves, but rather the answer sheet that is the 
problem.  If I know that calling image 1 a "cockroach" means I likely to be 
paranoid, than I won't say that.  I'll say um.. it's a ... uh.. butterfly a 
cute fuzzy baby butterfly who wants to give me a big kiss.

No one has stated that the lack of object from any professionals was an 
argument to keep them.  Any wikiPoodle knows that you never have universal 
consent on anything.  Rather the argument was, that relatively few have 
objected, and it seems we see that here as well.  He posts the images and *two* 
psychologists complain?  Two? In all of Saskatchewan?

And at any rate, they've already been mirrored to three dozen sites by now, 
so the entire thing is moot.
