I agree. I think a calm, friendly, and rational

I think your idea of having a page to explain this is a good idea,
Chris, then users violating the policy (if it is a policy) could be
directed there, and asked in the first instance to consider removing
the image themselves. That would reduce a lot of the ill-feeling this
issue is otherwise generating. Then if after a suitable period, the
image is still there and fair use is still being claimed, it could be
removed by others.
