Since when has GFM Mackensen been related to Klink? This is something of which I was not aware. The photo I used is out of copyright and the whole thing was done in jest. I no longer post over at RWI, so it's not like I'm shoving my avatar in the face of the RWI Admin team with every post.
As for requests to make insulting avatars from photos of me, it's been done. It was a serious invasion of privacy and breech of every forum's rules, but it was done. The perpetrator sent me some disturbing evidence of stalking but luckily never used the avatar image he sent me.
Gran, if the avatar offends you, you're the first person to say so (without hiding behind fake user IDs) and I'm more than willing to change it for you.
