OK, for instance...

A crowd of angry protesters outside the newspaper office at going home time.

A barrage of calls at the busiest time jams the newspapers switchboard with self-confessed perves complaining about the offending article.

A journalist who slagged off an SMer's sexuality becomes the target for a deluge of junk mail.

(and this is before we even think about luring them to remote farm houses and getting busy with the automatic milking equipment)

Is it purely because the small minded, venomous public will use the opportunity to send hate mail, or is it because on some level they don't want to be exposed? I find it quite bizarre.

It possibly has more to do with her being accused of crimes she didn't commit than of her being outed as a pro-domme, which anyone who clicked on her website before must have known?

She hasn't been outed for herself, just her picture used instead of the person who the article was talking about.

I can see entirely why she might then want all other pictures taken down so that people can't steal them, and why she might not want to read or talk to anyone giving the other person abuse just cos the journalist was incorrect.

Well said ! And these should only be for starters.

Presumably she'd be inundated with e-mails from journalists and other weirdos, posing as regular clients? Hopefully she's off somewhere relaxing and waiting until the furore dies down, and can then return without the fear of such idiots intruding into her life.

Indeed so. If I had a website and if a journalist had used my photo grabbed off said website without my permission to illustrate an outdated story about someone else, I too would take my website down until the "story" died down. I don't think that's bizarre personally.

I suppose they might think that people would treat them unkindly if they knew - the less forgiving sort of people I mean. It must be terrible to work for a tabloid newspaper and be kinky, knowing that if you meet other SMers you'll have to lie to them about your job.

On a side note, I've just done a search for the London Mistress Alana, and found that she has deleted everything. All trace of her is gone. If you find her cached site on Google you'll find that all the links are gone, too. No pics, nothing. The only thing that works now is the e-mail, and I'm kind of betting that it no longer reaches her.

As I did make Clear on my post 1:02 AM 11 May 07

' In order to prevent other Newspapers from using Her image without Her permission She has asked me to take down her site so all the images have been removed.'

When I posted that comment I had already switched her site off so really cant understand why you are surprised you could not find anything.

By the way the google ' cache ' link where it pointed out her e-mail address your guess was wrong - That e-mail address is still working.

-----------------------------

if you had seen your image in the paper but the actual story was about another person would you not do exactly as we had done ?

{ 2 } You appear not to have worked out what actually happened .

Mistress Alana { from North London } was not ' outed in the press nor did she ' run away and hide ? '

The two stories in the paper had nothing at all to do with Mistress Alana { from North London } except they had stolen her Image and they claimed ' she was someone else '

--------------

katali who posted on 6:21 PM 16 May 07 has worked out ' correctly ' why Mistress Alana { from North London } was so upset.

-----------------------

I was round at Mistress Alana { from North London } House yesterday and she is still really upset hence why she has not been adding any comments to this area because some people are grabbing the wrong end of the stick.

-----------------

By the way ' Ishmael ' { we have known each other for Donkey Years } really if you start a Protest about Mistress Alana { from North London } you then shine a Torch on the whole affair which will then make matters worse.

The Newspapers either by accident or design made a right cock up over this story - the damage has already been done - As I know you know her - speak to her yourself and you will find out that all she wants is a quiet life .

She is not after any Compensation - she does not want any Protest's - she appreciates the people who can sympathise with her but it makes matters a lot worse when people have grabbed the wrong end of the stick.

So on behalf of Mistress Alana { from North London } can I ask all posters just to put this thread to bed.

Alley Cat, Miss Lead, marc,

Do you think it might be possible to keep a) own agendas, b) casual banter, flirting etc. to threads that don't immediately concern individuals whom you don't know, and who haven't been royally dumped on by moronic journos?

Have some respect, please. (And please feel free to memo me if you dislike my tone or feel you're being hard done to.)

Thanks.

vellan_drang

Right, where in my messege was I disrespectful?

Also, there was no casual banter, flirting etc in what I said. I just merely pointed out that it isnt great advertising for SHAC or ALF if the person concerned is a Pro Domme who uses leather etc equipment. I believe a spokeswomen from SHAC has also said something very similar. I would be grateful if you could read posts properly.

Thanks.
