Stamper,
I think you may need some help parsing that post. It obviously referred not to any photographer but to the individual on the White House staff who authorized the use of Air Force One (the U.S. President's plane) in a close fly-by of Manhattan, with jet fighters accompanying it for the purpose of getting some nice publicity footage of Air Force One against the Manhattan skyline. The incident understandably caused wide-spread panic, and local police had not been notified of the mission before it happened.
The "wombat" who authorized that bizarre mission lost his job. I think such "works" as causing panic in a major city without notifying the authorities or residents beforehand are ones that deserve to be banned. It's a far cry from photographing a commercial flight on a regular route that happens to be passing by a tall building (and not very close to it).

That wasn't explained in the original post and no link was given as to an explanation. I am not a resident of the USA therefore I didn't read about the "wombat". I made a reply based on the information posted in the post. I looked at the image as being just that.... an image. I made a judgement on it being an image and not someone else's political views. I then posted remarks about not banning images unless they were obscene. You and others are seeing the image as something different from me? The "wombat" comment was - imo - out of context with it being an image posted for a critique. I think the original comments need more parsing?
