Eric - thanx for bringing this to our attention. IMHO, this is a matter of principle : we believe in free speech and expression. So (again, IMHO), the derogatory comment should not be locked, it should be met with the comments of more, er, thoughtful people. I dunno if I qualify as "thoughtful", but I've posted my comments on the image. And Hauksdottir - your kind of comments are the kind that'll help the guy making better pictures. I think you'd do him a favor by posting them on the image. Gallery comments don't HAVE to be nothing but "Wow" "Nice" or "Booh" one-liners ;o)
