I most certainly did give an opportunity for people to discuss it.  No one seemed to care, so I removed the picture as the silence seemed to me to indicate a consensus that no one would mind if I did.

Also, I did explain why I removed it.  You have yet to explain why you think it needs to be included. Care to do so? 

I was assuming good faith until your only argument for keeping the picture was "lol it's referenced," which is not reason enough for a picture to be included in an article.  If that were true, I could put in a picture of anything I wanted into this article as long as it was referenced.  209.104.239.26
