But don't imagine that those of us who think that, for example, it is blatantly obvious that the [[Imgae:Autofellatio_2.jpg]] image is wildly inappropriate for wikipedia are simply prudish censors. Such a view really fails to respect and understand the point that we are making.
A respectful discussion of this difficult issue is hard to have if anyone who is in favor of deleting some images from wikipedia is to be shunned as a censor who ought to leave the project and fork.
I do not want to discuss whether the image is appropriate or not. That's an issue that I do not want to discuss here, although I guess it needs to be discussed. What I do want to state is that if there is one Wikipedia page in one language where it *is* appropriate, and 1.499.999 pages on the various Wikimedia Wikis where it is *not* appropriate, the one page that can use it should weigh more heavily than those other 1.499.999 where it is not. And in particular, an image should not be deleted from the *English* Wikipedia because it is inappropriate at the *French* one.
