Russavia -
It would be pretty easy to go "No, I didn't mean to imply that it was okay to label a group of identifiable living people as prostitutes based on the street they happened to be standing on," which, for some odd reason, you've refused to do both on and off-wiki. This has obviously gotten significantly away from the topic of the original thread, but would it comfort you if I asked one of the non-concussed people who interpreted your comment in the exact same way I did to pose the same question to you here?
It doesn't exactly look awesome to make what is, charitably, an easy to misinterpret statement, and then refuse to clarify the intent of your statement on a project you're a sysop on.

Kevin,
Let me know when you have recovered from the concussion you have incurred, which I hope is soon and I hope you are getting better, and then I would urge you to re-look at the issues and re-present them, and I would be more than happy to discuss publicly right here.
It would be unfair of you to expect me to be able to comment frankly (which is my preferred way) right now, when what you are writing here, on Commons, and in the comments section of Pete's blog post may not be Kevin Gorman, Wikipedian-in-Residence at UC Berkeley, but Kevin Gorman, the guy who has received a nasty knock to the head.
Until then, I would prefer not to comment further.
Cheers,
Russavia
