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.

No. I'm not accusing you for prudery, but for making wrong cited
statements. Your assumption is that we have to sacrifice neutrality to
please a audience that doesn't want to see that it is looking for...
Great start!
No one said that ""porn must be freeeee ...."" (double quote, because of
a quote of a quote, that never was a quote to begin with). All we said
was: Every content has to be treated as equal.
What you do is just anti porn lobbying and nothing else. It is not for
the benefit of the project. Your current aim is to change/sacrifice the
original goal of the project, while arguing that it would be for the
benefit to reach more users. But what is price of a book that only
contains what you already know or want to see in the context of
education? It's not worth a Cent. It's a failed mission.
