Would you please mind telling a curious reader how this image either is harmful to Wikipedia or has the potential to harm Wikipedia?
The image deletion process has shown itself incapable of removing this image. The process is demonstrably broken when there is a hint of controversy. I don't take stepping outside accepted policy and process lightly. Here, however, it is absolutely right and absolutely necessary.
This seem to indicate that people disagree with you, why do they do that?
I apologise to any who see my actions as outrageously rogue-ish. I wish there were an alternative, less radical way.
No. When you take the "my way or the highway" approach, people naturally tend to get irritated.
