Enough already. In a nutshell I would not remove those photos myself. However someone felt that they and other members were offended by them.
There were several complaints about your photos. I didn't have a problem with them myself other than I thought you could have used a better model. There were several people who were asking what exactly is acceptable. For the most part it should be anything where it doesn't create a cock fest that women get tired of reading and that kids can see at any normal beach. There was plenty of deliberation about deleting those photos before it took place. So then finally someone got tired of the debate and deleted them. I can't say I blame someone for doing something they thought was in their best judgement. Why don't you use some of your best judgement and lay off a little now? I like your photos a lot but the continuing barrage of questioning is as silly as the photos you are arguing about. The photos of the people under the tree on the coin are pretty funny to me.
