1. Please stop trying to force your near-monopolized conformities onto me. I rarely use Google, for the same reasons why I use Comodo as my Internet browser, and Thunderbird as my E-Mail directory. So when it is said that the entire Internet was searched, on all images taken into account, in the manner of hours/days, using Google, I cannot really take them seriously. Especially when Jasper is already shown lying on Nukapedia, stating that every image he has found has been connected to a copyright-holding artist. Jas has only shared a few alleged images he searched for, and two of them have not been connected to a copyright-holding artist, from neither my end, nor his. So already, Jasper has only been 50% right, and the 50% that he was right on, I have already acted on.

2. Just because you say it is besides the point, does not mean you are right. You have a tendency to pretty up your words, and skirt around controversy when caught saying something that is wrong. You said, after the conversations we had before this one ever started, that I am "...permenently denying the the content owner the full use and control of their property without their consent." You cannot deny this. I am also perfectly willing to quote myself, which also cannot be denied, making it perfectly clear that in no way will I ever use any images, that are proven to be under copyrighted-artists, without obtaining permission first. So I am going to have to ask for you to stop taking my words out of context.

3. There is no bad faith. Just because you are prettying up your words, does not mean that your transparency has gone unnoticed. The adolescents that make up a large portion of Nukapedia's regulars might fall for it, but I am perfectly capable of understanding when someone is suggesting something, or if they are outright accusing me of something using sub-text. The claim has already been made that the entire Internet has been searched to prove that I did not get certain images from public domain hosts, and guess what? That is blatantly calling me a liar using political correctness. Also, I have to be truthful here: you saying that I have conceded to certain images not being from public domain hosts, is a lie. It is common knowledge that not all public domain websites are legitimate. The only thing I have done, is accepted when evidence has come forward, that there really is a copyright-holding artist. So please stop twisting my words/actions around, yeah?

4. Look at you trying to justify avatars. You are saying that I have to, 100%, provide sources for my public domain images, yet you are stating, right here, that avatars do not have to fall under the same scrutiny, and that you are fine with letting them slide because they are "...minor...". Guess what? Sanctimony.
 * Also, in regards to your second point, I quote myself: "You are trying to make me out like a bad-guy here, but the simple fact of the matter, is that I am handling this copyright manner in a respectful and dignified manner, which is more than you can say for other users and even wikis." I never once said that what I was doing was wrong, and that the wrong-doings of others justified what I was doing. I am clearly stating that I am handling this matter with respect and dignity, which is more than you can say for actual injustices which are almost never addressed, even though they maybe should be. Once again, you are attempting to twist my words.

5. You completely missed the point with that one. The point is that you are holding me to unrealistic standards, while the wiki and its users go about regularly disrespecting their right to cover a game that is not their own. Even if permission is not needed, credit should always be given when it can be.

6. I see that you did not address my question as to why you have a modified image of a copyrighted work on your user-page.

7. Circumstances have removed my chance to provide the dozens upon dozens of sources that you are wanting. Many of my images have been admitted to not being available using your allegedly 100% fool-proof method of Google reverse-searching, which actually does provide a bit of proof as to my claims. Just because I cannot provide sources the moment you demand them, does not mean that I am magically an art-thief that deserves scorn and disrespect.

8. Twisting my words... again. In-fact, I am going to go ahead and quote myself here: "The going behind my back is not a problem, as I would have done the same thing in a similar circumstance with any other user. But you have a real problem with blind-sighting people, by not giving the common courtesy of linking to/relaying important discussions about them."

I actually want to make this clear: you are blatantly misrepresenting me, by twisting my words around to benefit your side of the story. I have not done the same to you, and I expect for the favour to be returned in any future responses. This is something that I am already used to on Nukapedia, but in the face of something that involves actual legalities, I am not going to tolerate it. Continue to twist my words around, and I will put in a formal complaint. If we can keep the conversation civil and to the point, then I am up for that.

But if there is one thing that I cannot stand, it is having everything I say categorized for later, so that they can take them out of context for later.
