As far as I can see...
He hasn't posted the pics on a public forum - if you click the second link, you'll see they're hosted on his own personal blog. Whether or not he wants to 'somehow cash in' on the pics (and I don't really see why he would assume that he could) is besides the point. They're pics hosted on his own personal blog, and if some arsehole lifts them without permission he is well within his rights to ask them to be removed. I agree, he could have went about this in a better way, without sounding like an arsehole himself, but that doesn't means he is in any way in the wrong here.
You seem to have a beef with him for mostly imaginary reasons - I don't see where he has tried to 'cash in' on the pics or anything like that - he's simply asking for some kind of credit or recognition, which you have admitted is fair enough. And just because he may not know about watermarking doesn't make him wrong either - he's not a digital artist, as you pointed out, he's just some guy who put pictures of his kid on his blog, so expecting him to know about shit like watermarking seems a little unfair.
The only reason I'm sticking up for him, by the way, is because your previous remarks seem totally and unnecessarily vitriolic. Give the guy a break

Oh, and if you actually read the comments on the first link, you'll see that this Dmitry guy seems like a much bigger asshole than the father
I think we've all sent e-mails while angry that probably wouldn't sound all that great when read by a third party - no need to hate the guy for it
