[edit] Dispute

Subject is a private yet public figure who only provides promo photos. The image or one like it is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image cannot be created to replace this one. I would not have uploaded this one in the first place if a free one were available! CyberAnth 08:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

According to his article, he makes predictable public appearances (he's a minister at a church), so it would be possible for someone to make a free image of him. —Angr 09:31, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Your uncivil action and POV pushing exhibited at Wikipedia_talk:Replaceability_of_fair-use_images#Once_again.2C_way_too_lax as demonstrated in you dealings with Image_talk:John_F._MacArthur,_Jr.jpg are reprehensible and I will now address it in the most fitting manner.

It seems like anyone who would assert what you have about this image needs to seriously undergo psychotherapy for False World Delusional Disorder and to read Don't be a dick.

It is not even close to "possible" but insanely improbable and only VERY, VERY, VERY remotely possible on Wikipedia.

Did you know it is "possible" that green aliens will land on earth tomorrow? That science will discover a way to make a male pregnant?

However, I do have a PayPal account through which you could slide me cash for a plane ticket, several night's hotel stay, and $100 $175 per day per-diem to go to California. I could then attend MacArthur's church and take the snapshot. Otherwise, you could pay a professional photographer in the area to do this. Put your money where your mouth is.

Are you one of those "admins" talked about HERE?

BTW, when and where was said discussion even held??? Do you normally make it a practice to "have discussions" without allowing the image uploader to even respond to the irrationalities you posted? By inviting only yourself?

Did I mention you might want to read Don't be a dick?

Did you also notice there is currently a proposal for Wikipedia:Elimination of Fair Use Rationale in Promotional Photos? Did you notice this is a promotional photo? Oh wait! Your pushy-standards are Wikipedia_talk:Replaceability_of_fair-use_images#Once_again.2C_way_too_lax, that's right.

Do you normally make it part of your mission in life to drive good editors like myself away from Wikipedia, to add to the list of missing Wikipedians? How's that power feel to ya'!? Feeling weak in other areas lately, eh?

Oh, did I mention you might want to read Don't be a dick?

Kindly restore the image and quite living out your, as consensus about you at Wikipedia_talk:Replaceability_of_fair-use_images#A_suggestion is, "absolute radical fringe" position toward images.
