A good way to blow things out of proportion

The people at Behind Big Brother have been kind enough to remove my photo and mention that I am not a contestant, however they have also gone and called my request that they remove my copyright image a “legal threat”.
Interestingly, a threat is defined as “An expression of an intention to inflict pain, injury, evil, or punishment” by answers.com…but take a look at the email I sent to them overnight and see if you think it was threatening.
Dear Sir/Madam,
As per my most recent blog post, I am not going on Big Brother, and have no intention of ever doing so. I’m used to my name being thrown around for various reasosn, and I’m not fussed about this.I would, however, like to point out that in your article “Rumoured Housemates” you have used a copyright image of me, from my website, without my permission. Please either remove the image or request permission to use it. You have also called me “Samuel Stewart”, I’m not terribly fussed about that, I just thought you might like to know that “Gordon-Stewart” is my proper last name.
Regards,
Samuel Gordon-Stewart
Looks to me like I asked them to remove it or request permission to use it…I can’t see a “legal threat”…can you?
Samuel

Nothing threatening about that.

I think it should be called “Big Sister” the way they are carrying on!

This is what happens if you let the loonies out of the asylum.

It could be a case of putting all the loonies into an asylum Chuck, and making them all vulnerable to a strategically placed Big Rock!
