I posted this image, entitled "Today's Wild Harvest" to the "Isolated subjects against white background" challenge and it was instantly disqualified as being offensive. Say what??!!

Sure, Morris. Of course, I get that 100%.  I'm bothered by some things, too.  Images of those things are often posted on DPReview.  That doesn't give me the right to unilaterally disappear ("disqualify") images depicting those things, as long as they are otherwise within DPReview's guidelines.
