I don't know on what your summary is based. Looking at the replies, we
have about 50% persons that wants to filter it and 50% that don't mind
keeping them.
In this thread, the percentage of people annoyed by the image might be
above 50% but some have expressed that it would be less of a problem if it
was a picture hosted on the blog (and not on api.flattr.com) or if it was
a plain text link. But then I think that this kind of thread mainly
gathers interest from annoyed people and that the persons concerned by the
complaint prefer to stay away because they have nothing to gain from the
discussion.
Your summary was:

That's not really a summary, it's a try at a compromise.
Let me also remind you that we're speaking of a small footer added
automatically to the RSS feed. It's either activated or not. It's not
going to appear from times to times only.
Your summary is okay if we're considering posts whose sole content is
"You know, I'm on Flattr. Please flattr me...".
Cheers,
