User:Mcrazychick adds a personal photo to complete her user profile, which then gets removed by Jimbo.

Jimbo then explains why he did this :

QUOTE

== I removed the image from your userpage ==

Don't put it back. And you are on very thin ice here. I recommend to all admins that you be blocked very quickly in case you cause any trouble at all. This is a project to create an encyclopedia, not your personal playground.--[[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]] ([[User talk:Jimbo Wales|talk]]) 00:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)


She then says "Ciao, Bello" and adds a "retired" notice to her user page.

The image is then put up for deletion.

Now, I do not believe for a second that the photo posted was that of the user in question, but Jimbo's self-righteous response comes off as rather smug for a former porn site operator. Plus, everybody knows that Wikipedia is not censored and that you can see much worse in the mainspace and commons, including this recording of a woman having an orgasm by none other than User:Jimbothegreat and this delightful animated image of an ejeculating penis.

Is Jimbo starting to get a bit conservative in his moral views or is this another thing that Mike Godwin has started to enforce?

In any case, the attitude change here is pretty interesting....

Wasn't it just December 7th that Jimbo was reported to have said that teachers who block access to Wikipedia are "bad educators"?

I wonder, at which grade-level does a teacher blocking access to the ejaculating animated image continue to be a "bad educator"? Is this image okay for fifth-graders, Jimbo? How about third-graders? First grade, maybe?

Maybe I should perform a legal test and expose my teenage niece to this image, while videotaping for YouTube her reaction to it. Then, you all could watch as my wife videotapes me being carted off to jail on a felony charge of exposing a minor to pornography. Then, we could monitor how bravely Jimbo, Sue, Mike, FloFlo, Erik, JzG, Durova, Gerard, and Calton all fight for my "right" and my niece's "right" to have unfettered access to "free knowledge". Do you think they would pay for my lawyer and maybe come to court to testify on my behalf?

....... I'm looking for words where the punchline is "bad ejaculators", but it isn't coming through......

Huh. Sorry Greg. They'd be cheering in on the other side of the court room. (not to mention your nieces parents) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/unsure.gif)

AND Durova woud send (irrelevant) emails to the District Attorney claiming you tried to elicit illicit relations with her. You just KNOW she would. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)
