It is not appropriate to use others family members (especially women and children) for a personal avatar. Just because someone shares a picture they took does not imply permission for use or make it part of the public domain. All of my photos are copyrighted and legally may not be used without permission, a by line, and often a fee. Please do not use any of my photos for your personal use. Thank you.

REALLY...REALLY? Is this a joke?
Am I understanding this correctly? Hold on a minute here...I'm confused!
You share a very private life experience and private photo in a public forum with total strangers...most of whom you've never, EVER met or spoken to and my use of your photo as a 1" x 1" square avatar image in the very public forum that you shared within can somehow be considered "an insensitive act" or defaming? Are you lost...Are you kidding? "An invasion of privacy" - "Let's have a teaching moment" for you pal: In the 'real world' when you air private, personal experiences in public, with the public, for some crazy reason the public tends to believe that you wanted your experience made..........yep, you guessed it...PUBLIC...imagine that.
Congratulations to you though, thanks to your complete lack of tact you've done an outstanding job ruining your own thread with a fine display of self righteousness and ego....SO PATHETIC!

Thank you for removing my photo from your avatar. The last thing I'm going to say on this subject is that I'm grateful that the friends I have met on this forum and I do not live in your "real" world.
