What's funny is that the thread is "offensive" as an argument was thrown out of the picture real early in the original discussion. It wasn't that the thread or the comments offended people that it was shut down.
It was that the commets were inherently sexist and the pictures were purely objectifying.
No one had to be offended for the above statements to be true. If a no one is offended by racist or homophobic comments does that make them okay? I would argue that they still aren't okay because those views and attitudes should be eliminated. On whether objectification is okay you can have a real interesting discussion but the whole sky is falling everything offends somebody tone of the last few pages is a red herring, and seems whiney and childish.
It wasn't removed because it was offensive or because people too offense.
