Plus for the occasions that some kind vandal adds similar images to your user talk page so
that you don't even know or have control over what is being displayed let along an ability
to stop it. An unfortunate eye opener in the workplace, or similarly at home when working
with the family. :-/
I do wish that this discussion can just move to implementation. This is about what I get
to filter for what I get to see, or when I get to see it. I have had enough of other
people believing that they get to make their choices for me.
