You say:

I'm not saying you don't have a point. I didn't know enough to be sensitive on the Lena topic once either, and could have been the target of the above comment. So I think, perhaps, those could have been formulated more constructively.
However, I must say the same for your comment too. Can't we all be friends here? :)

It's reactionary nonsense, there's nothing to be sensitive about. The subject of the photograph merely went along with it.
There are legitimate arguments against using it as a technical benchmark in this day and age but that isn't what people get outraged over.
My personal view is that the correct response to strangers trying to score social points by policing other's conduct is to defiantly do the opposite.
