What Geni said.
Well what Geni said seemed rather vague, but your accusation sounded
to me rather more specific. Which particular incidents of alleged
"searching out" are you referring to?
I hope KR doesn't take your bait on this.
I should hope that anyone making accusations of that nature would be
prepared to support them.>
While I'm inclined to agree with your sentiment on
this matter, at
least moreso than the converse, it seems blindingly obvious to me that
the "accusation" in question was meant as an expression of a perceived
trend, from one person's perspective.
I may have misread it, but Kevin's wording was as follows:
"I've come to the realization that people are searching out nude pictures
to put in the 'pedia. They are looking to stir up trouble, mostly to make
a point."
That seems to be a pretty specific accusation, aimed at a subset of those
who upload images, specifically images involving nudity, accusing them of
doing so with the intention of breaking Wikipedia policy.
I take that very seriously. It's an extremely damaging accusation, and if
Kevin has evidence to support it he should make it public. If he doesn't
well we'll know he's just hand-waving, indulging in attempt to denigrate
those who have uploaded images involving nudity.
