Sure, have fun with it...although, I did NOT give you permission to use my photograph and that is a copyright infringement and a violation of the rules here on ECCIE. Pick another avatar and have at it.

I also read our posting guidelines very carefully and I do not see any posting guideline that has been violated here by this member. Yes, I get the irony of the name and if we can prove it is a member with a second log-in/handle we will take appropriate action, but so far I see no posting guideline that was violated by this member and their use of the photo as their avatar.
In calling out attention to this matter and because I did scour our posting guidelines to see if in fact a violation had or had not occurred, I did find this one which perhaps YOU should be aware of:
#17 - "Cyber Stalking" is a term that refers to the act of following another member around online. This may include persistent PMing of the other party, repeated ISOs about the other party, or excessive bumping of reviews or posting in threads about the other individual, whether it be positive or negative information posted. In any of these cases, whether staff deems that the behavior has crossed the line into cyber-stalking, or the "stalked" party complains to staff about the alleged behavior, staff will take the necessary steps to make it stop. Please avoid becoming involved in this type of conduct.
It would seem that some of your activity is dangerously close to stepping over the line of posting guideline #17.
