I'm sorry that you feel this way. It is to your own discredit if you believe that we take decisions based on the requests of "tiny, irrational and shrieking" minorities - indeed it does appear to me that these words currently apply to your own position.
I'm sure there are many sites where the decisions of the administrators align perfectly with own opinions.
It was perfectly reasonable to request that this avatar be removed. It is very difficult to debate when people find it difficult to step back and consider very much at all outside of their own immovable opinions but if ever you do want to have a sensible discussion without shrieking, let me know and I'll happily explain our position.

This user never messaged and asked "why" the avatar was used.
A lot could have been learned.
From there could say why it offended them.
From there, a better decision could have been made.
This image is practically the image you would find on the paper-back, DVD, or VHS Tape of this movie.

William Shirer can put a swastika on the cover of his book and no one will complain.
Carry that same swastika through the streets of Jerusalem and there will be trouble.
