I do not think my thread in GD-P was inappropriate

I do not think that my thread in GD-P should have been deleted. If someone was offended by the graphic, then perhaps it should have been moved to the Lounge. Perhaps I have not kept up with rule changes due to one of my frequent related hiatuses. If so, I apologize.

I would appreciate an explanation as to what the problem was.

Please understand that I am not complaining about your decision - I appreciate that moderating is "not often easy, and not often kind" but somebody has to make up their mind (apologies to John Sebastian).

I will patiently await your response.

Yes, they clearly draw the line at photos of jars of urine.

I love the way the DUmmies defend the rights and freedoms of the artist to produce his junk art.

...and with feces being seen as the new art medium, I'm sure they will support my freedom to paint a mural on the side of the "Obama Library" with the 41 years of art supplies I've been saving in my septic tank.

Usually one has to travel to the fancy art galleries of New York to view that level of work. 

Perhaps Skins has investments in one or more of those enterprises and wishes to protect his investment by not giving it away for free?

I seem to recall there used to be pictures of Bush flags in dog crap. I guess Skins is spiffying up the place for DU4, or whatever.
