I protest in the strongest terms to this eventuality:

An error of judgment I believe, Alex.
This thread attracted over 1,700 views, not for nothing surely, and not for the eviscerated remains you have deigned to leave, I'll warrant.
I wonder about the power of a moderator to interfere with communication between members of Dgrin on the basis of what you personally consider to be "focused on photography". You did not respect us enough to show how the comments that you removed were not relevant critique of the image. You just issued a fiat like a dictator.
It is Dgrin etiquette to explain opinions given, and it is also common for friends to banter about this and that unrelated matter while communicating in a forum, and this is not penalised. To me your action appears redneck and anti-intellectual. Prejudiced, in other words, and a stain on Dgrin. I wonder about the judgment of a moderator who can do this and at the same time use this forum and his privilege as its moderator for posting images of his own which on his own admission are off topic for this forum.
I am making a complaint to SmugMug about your affront, and in protest I am not going to post in Dgrin for 1 month.

I've deleted all posts that I felt were off topic. There were many to read through and I apologize in advance if I deleted a post you felt was valid feedback.
As Ivar already mentioned, let's keep the comments focused on photography. I personally don't find the image offensive so I'm leaving it. Sure, it's a little dark but so are many other photos posted on Dgrin. Either keep posts on topic or move on.
Thanks,
Alex
