It's not me who's uploading hundreds of pornographic media onto Wikimedia sites. There are places for porn online, just like there are places for online poker, and amateur digital art. I have no problem with any of them. But listen to yourself – you are accusing me of prudery because I say that as a tax-exempt educational website we should be handling porn and other explicit content as responsibly – no more, no less – as Google, YouTube or Flickr. Are the adult media sharing groups in Flickr populated by prudes? I don't think so. But are they in favour of abandoning the Flickr rating system? No. Are Google right-wingers? No, and they happen to be among our biggest donors and benefactors. Your "porn must be freeeee ...." stance puts you into a fringe corner from the perspective of which the entirety of mainstream society looks like a bunch of dastardly right-wing prudes.
