`:::::::Sceptre, I believe it was you arguing above that the RfC was closed, and that the majority decision to remove wasn't enough of a supermajority to actually count as a majority.  please make up your mind.  If the RfC is still open, I will of course wait before taking any such action. :::::::At any rate, as has been pointed out (by several editors), there may not (and should not) be a rule against posting appropriate but offensive content, but there are rules about posting arbitrary offensive content.  The entire argument in favor of using this image can be summed up in this sentence: ``The website is the image, and so using the image is necessary for any proper discussion of the website``.  However, that is actually an editorial decision, without -so far as I know - any basis in fact.  do we have a reliable source which says that the creators of the website intended that image to be the 'flagship' image of that page?  why that one, and not one of the other images on the page?  It seems likely to me that the creators of that page would have used any image that was sufficiently offensive, and since the page itself does not explicitly discuss anal sex or the expansion of sphincters (or have any other content relating to the image, except presenting it for shock value), I see no reason to assume that they (the creators) chose that particular image for anything other then its shock value.  I would argue, then, that the picture is incidental, presented on goatse purely for shock, and of no substantive relation to the page whatsoever, except for the fact it was used.  If that is the case, it does not belong on wikipedia. :::::::Now, perhaps you have a reliable source which indicates this image was intended by its creators to be equal to the site itself?  possibly some reliable secondary sources that equate the image to the webpage with some kind of statistical analysis or reasoned argument?  if so, then please present it, or offer some other argument that this image is needed; not merely a misguided effort by wikipedia editors to include arbitrary offensive material in the project.  I await your reply.     `
