Thirdly, I'm genuinely not sure how to proceed on this matter. This website guy has still not really said whether or not he claims to own the copyright to this image, or to have licensed it from somebody who does.
If he holds the copyright to that image then I hold the copyright to the King James Bible.
Assuming that you are not, indeed, the current incumbent of the British Throne (otherwise, gosh, greetings, Your Majesty. :-)), I agree, but that doesn't mean that the image is not under copyright; indeed, the image is almost certainly under copyright, as PD works are rare outside of the United States for things newer than the 1920s.
Anyway, I agree, this... 'individual' seems to be quite taken with invective about other's attitude to 'his' website. Perhaps he feels that his content has already been "stolen" (eurgh, it's intellectual property; it cannot be stolen unless the creator no longer has access to it) by us in some way, and is so very affronted? I cannot imagine that anyone would fly off the handle quite so much at the simple instigation of a request for permission...
