I notice that Commons admin TwoWings is now sorting pictures of naked children into categories by "posture". I know that Commons isn't WP, but surely someone at Commons has the sense to see that having an admin obsessed with pictures of nude children and actively involved in children's gymnastics looks awfully bad. Please don't misunderstand me - I'm not suggesting that TwoWings is a paedophile, I'm just pointing out that they are acting exactly like I would expect a paedophile to act.

If you take another look, he's doing it with men, and women, and nude and non nude etc. I'm quite sure he's not a pedophile, but rather a person who is categorising using categories that Commons probably shouldn't have.

Yup, looks more like a bored art student than a slobbering pedophile.

Or simply an obsessive-compulsive with insufficient mental capabilities to understand that this has a moral dimension to it. Anybody ever try to talk to any of Wikipedia's obsessive stubsorters? Don't bother, most of them aren't capable of meaningful conversation. And not a few of them moved on to categorizing things on Commons when they ran out of stubs on Wikipedia to sort.

Tried that with this guy, and failed

Gah! Kill it! Kill it with fire! NSFW!

Commons, you've lost your mind!

Why on earth would anyone upload that picture? TwoWings has got to go.

Edit: What!?! "Keep!?!"

Any good things I thought about Commons has been thrown out the window.

Welcome to 2008. You have a lot of catching up to do. That is minor in comparison.

Oh, come on.

Would you like me to point you to some really disgusting pics on Commons?

Without that picture, how could SarahStierch illustrate her feelings about the gender gap at Simple?

No thank you.

Ugh... It used to require extensive Internet searching for people to find these things, but Commons makes finding it more convenient... especially for the children and that poor schoolgirl in Africa. Thank you, TwoWings. You've helped spread free information that should have been bound and gagged, thrown in a combination safe, encased in concrete, weighed down by anchors, thrown down to the deepest part of the Marianas Trench, and blown up by nuclear torpedoes.

(And why is there a photo a 16-year old in his underwear? )

I assume this was in the old days before Google would give 1,982,982 results in 0.000048 seconds for any one of those terms?

The only thing Google won't find is that rusty old bottle that the Genie has probably forgotten all about by now.

Before Google, there was something of an art to online searching in the 1990s. If I ever came across porn, it was through a false link. "Oh, a link to toy trains! Let me click on that... oh, my... that... is no toy train... " And the viruses, good gravy, they were everywhere. You were never safe. Safer from porn, but not safe from viruses.

Now it is easier to find porn with little threat of viruses. MLK Jr. was right. "Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."

What exactly is the point of doing a revision deletion

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?t...&oldid=40981975

that removes the name of an editor if the next edit reveals it to be Alisonsux?

And the next edit, again deleted with the name of the editor removed

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?t...&oldid=42430667

is by Alisonho.

Dunno - I didn't do that. The guy who posted those, BTW, was Wikilibs/Boxingwear aka Danielaword on WR. *shrugs*

Oh, great. TwoWings is one of those "Information must be free!" diehards.

Leave it to your trusty Examiner to finally tell this story in a mainstream media style that any given citizen can understand.

It is perfectly illustrative of every fraternity hazing I remember hearing rumors about in the 80's college days.



And speaking of college, this brought back memories of uudecoding pics from alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.

Bet you were one of those guys who had ASCII-ified pictures of naked women, printed onto stripy green tractor feed paper and hanging up in your dorm!

Its like you know me better than I know myself.

It was fun to send them to various printers as well, i.e. the Dean's.

Geez, all I did was write a program to make our chain drive printer play 'Copacabana.'

I heard one playing "Anchors Away" in 1974. Where the program came from I dunno, but back then it might well have been some bored programmer in the Navy. There being no Ada then, it was probably in FORTRAN.

Jeez, the world changes. Ada came and went and zillions of lines in military "legacy code" originally written in that language is now being converted by very smart conversion programs to C++ and C#. Don't you love the efficiency possible with government?

I had one of Spock. But he wasn't naked.

My all-time favorite line printer trick was to print a thousand lines of hyphens with suppressed carriage control, then a thousand form feeds. (This is fairly easy to do in FORTRAN.) The data center staff will hate you with a burning flame for all eternity.
