Baseball images

Evrik, regarding this, this and this? I don't see why you think the baseball images improve the article. Like I stated in my edit summary, the article isn't actually about baseball, and the images aren't actual physical positions taken during sexual activity.

  • The images, especially, the one of the man at third base give context to people not familiar with the sport of baseball. --evrik  14:53, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Nope. Those images don't help to understand this topic at all. Reverted. Do stop WP:Edit warring over this. And people usually know what the bases lead up to -- a home run. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 23:34, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
You stated, "Simply saying that doesn't make your case." Look in the mirror. The images won't be staying. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 23:45, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Those images are hardly likely to clear up any confusion, as they bear little resemblance to the activities they correlate with in this context. OhNoitsJamie 23:46, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
  • The single image is sufficient for an article about metaphors. If someone wants to see images of the sexual acts, they can click on those wikilinks.OhNoitsJamie 23:53, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Opinions are great, and everyone has one. If you're done driving an edit war. Let's talk about the images in the different sections. The third base one should stay, if nothing else. --evrik  23:56, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Says the editor who's reverted three times in a day. You'll need to achieve a consensus to re-add the images. OhNoitsJamie 23:58, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
  • I love this comment, " Go away already. You will end up blocked. Your images will not remain. Except it now. If I start an RfC on it, you don't have a chance. Move the hell on." Go ahead and start and RfC, and learn proper word usage. --evrik  00:01, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
I clearly corrected my typo two minutes after stating "except" instead of "accept." I don't need to start an RfC. You have no WP:Consensus on this matter. And if you continue to try to insert these images, you will be blocked. Coming back every few days or weeks to repeat the process will not help you. Slow edit warring is still edit warring. But, hey, if you want to waste people's time by starting an RfC on this, be my guest. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 01:15, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
This was clearly a no. Just like this. That we did not again reply to you to state that we do not agree with you adding any such image does not mean that we agree with you. Obviously. You have just wasted my time because you showed up to do the same thing again when I was about to log off for the day and now I am about to report you at the WP:Edit warring noticeboard. We are under no obligation to engaging you/replying to you. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 02:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
