People can talk about it being the internet and public domain all they like...but that doesn't negate manners and showing common courtesy right? Or respect for others.
Being asked first simply seems right and is something I do. I said in a comment my brother asks if he wants a photo of mine and I ask him before I use a photo of my own that contains him or his family, common courtesy, even though I know he'd not mind if I didn't ask. I still do!
Being reserved after being harassed is understandable. I've had people here use my image before and for not very nice reasons, just one more reason I'm a little sensitive about it being used, any of my images at all really, without my express permission; I'd not use theirs, so punish them when they use mine without asking first.
He said he did it because he liked my work and wanted to spread the word
Go and read meesterboom's comment in this comment thread, and also that of nonamesleftouse...Similar situations to mine and yours.
Let's say that to make more of me known I have to know the person quite well and it would never be through a network.
Smart, and even then caution is advisable; people change, people lie, show one thing and then do another and reveal themselves as the wrong people to share with. So, caution is advised.
It triggered me seeing my image as used by the person I mention in this post. I opened the community and saw it and inside I felt...well, I'll not say, but it wasn't a nice feeling. He wasn't to know he would trigger that reaction, *but he would have known had he asked and that's me whole point.
I will keep that precaution until now except the stalker, who is from here, even told me that he would come for me a lot more .... because I said no to a proposal he made to me, you understand .... that no, he didn't accept it and that's when my ordeal began.
But it's over now. I learned from that and I'm moving on.
I read the comments, it seems that there are a lot of people doing their thing without permission.
That feeling must have been like .... I want to burn him alive or something, right?
Stalkers can be a little concerning for a woman, and I guess for a man also, it can end badly, especially with a person who was spurned and still hangs around like yours did.
Later yes, but I mean the initial feeling (inside of me) at seeing my image used like that without having the right to refuse it considering it was really simple for that person to ask me for permission. The result of that feeling is what prompted my response.
I think I can imagine that feeling, I think I feel it, I don't understand why people don't ask for permission if it's so simple. Whether one gives it or not is another matter.
I know, it was the longest comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're a long comment specialist. One day I'm going to leave a complicated and convoluted 2,000 word comment on one of your posts and giggle my fucken ass off when I post it! 😂
