As many have suggested, I have gone ahead and taken down the profile to honor the designer’s wishes. While I dont necessarily feel I did anything wrong with posting the profile, It is ultimately their design and its not worth fighting over.
This thread has clearly gotten a little out of hand, and was never my intenton. I simply wanted some external input before responding to the message of the designer. My omitting the link to the model was also intentional as I didnt want to call anyone out.
I didnt expect to get nearly this response from the community. I left my computer for 3 hours and expected a response or two, not all of this. 
Thank you all for your input and assistance, I look forward to additional participation in the forum in the future
