Did you see what Jimmy deleted? For example, Franz von Bayros painting
[1]. That guy is not so famous, but I don't see anymore any sane rule,
except: What Jimmy's sexually impaired super rich friend wish, Jimmy
do and then Board transform into the rule or a statement.

Besides the fact that he was dealing just with Western taboos of naked
body and sexual act, not with Mohamed cartoons [2] at English
Wikipedia, where he is the God King.

If the Board stays behind such action, this is a very clear signal
that Wikimedia projects are becoming censored. And if Jyllands-Posten
Muhammad cartoons won't be deleted, then Wikimedia projects are a tool
of Western cultural imperialism.

I want to hear other Board members before making my decision about staying here.

that one, which is inside of the article)
