That's fine. If that's the case best to just own up to it. Like "hey I own the site and find this offensive so I'm taking it down. It doesn't really break any rules per se but I don't like it so it goes away". That's the owner's right.
Why do you gather that? If someone posted a picture of tallit katan in a disrespectful way it wouldn't be tolerated either.

I'm not a mod (obvi) but all I saw was a closeup of some person (couldn't tell if male or female) in white clothing. Not sure how that's offensive. I do find it offensive however, that of all the things we have removed here, it is something as benign as that and yet we call each other names here, have trolls running rampant, and allow Dutch (redundant here I guess) to return.

You keep saying in a disrespectful way. How was the manner in which the temple garb was shown disrespectful?
This feels waaaaay overly sensitive here.

to be honest, the picture was not in a disrepsectfull way.
It's not for public display. They represent sacred things and should be sacred.

That you associate anything having to do with the LDS Church with 'being leftist,' only goes to show how absolutely clueless you really are.

Why? What is the obgliation on everyone else to respect as sacred what certain religious sects view as sacred?
Religion, religious belief, religious icons, what religions consider sacred as just as subject to comment, critique, satire, ridicule, mockery,etc. as any thing else. There are, nor should there be, sacred cows; otherwise, freedom is diminshed and the powerful can insultate themselves from public scrutiny, which is never a good thing.
Avoiding giving offense to LDS board partiicpants by making light of what they consider sacred (in this case at least) is done as a matter of courtesy to fellow members of the Jazzfanz community, and is a concession to foster a harmonious community, NOT because we have any obligation, moral or otherwise, to accord the same level of sacredness to those things they do.

Sensitivity and, if many are honest with themselves, embarrasment. Heaven knows, back in the day, I was embarrased as hell to be seen outside LDS communities wearing those damn silly things.

Really it's probably more the top quote then anything else, but LDS in general find depiction of the garment in any way shape or form to be offensive. It is partly the fact that LDS hold then to be sacred and partly the fact that it is HEAVILY indoctrinated to keep anything related to the temple a secret. My wife got chewed out by the temple pres in Reno because my daughter confirmed in front of him that the experience was just as my wife had partially described it to her before she went through for the first time before her mission. He pulled my wife aside to remind her it is highly inappropriate to discuss any part of the ceremony outside the temple. My wife had only answered her questions because a friend of my daughter showed her the entire temple ceremony online with running commentary claiming it is actually masonic and satanic. So yeah Mormons get a little weird and highly ruffled when it comes to anything related to the temple.
