Also - defamation only occurs if false information is published which harms someone's reputation. I think on this point, she has nothing to worry about - although it's fun to see all the armchair lawyers having a go
I'd like to state for the record that the guy I dated did not fit this moldThe poly guy is ea_unadorned on twitter. Lucy certainly has a type.
This level of knowledge is a bit creepy verging on obsessive if I'm honest. I thought this thread died when she left twitter and closed the blog, but apparently not... Why is it still going? Does any of this matter? What is gained by carrying this on? I'm still sad the blog died tbh.Our ‘Lucy’ doesn’t appear to be ‘friends’ with ‘YC’ on Instagram anymore. I wonder if it’s because he found out what an unprofessional, tragic stalker she is. God I hope that poor young man has found a lovely girl his own age
Looks like ‘YC’ has also removed all mention of ‘Lucy’ on his online ‘CVs’… Intriguing
Oh wow I just looked at his feed... no way would uptight Lucy have thought she could have had a committed relationship with a sex writer with so many public ‘intimate’ pics online?! She probably thought her little photoshoot might spark his interest againThe poly guy is ea_unadorned on twitter. Lucy certainly has a type.
She didn't write about him until he and LG had split up so I wouldn't worry about that.I mean, she wasn't particularly complimentary about a lot of the men she wrote about on the blog.... Criticism of their facial features, intelligence, sexual performance, the way they spoke, they way they behaved. There was a lot of very negative content on there and a lot of detail. She herself has acknowledged that if they found out, they'd have every right to be upset. And no one actually knows how honest she was or not, other than the men she has written about. So a bit daft to defend her as not having defamed anyone - who really knows!
Also, imagine you're Lockdown Girl, and your friend or you follow LGD on twitter. You (or friend) suddenly recognise your bf from all the detail shared, and now have to read how disparaging he is about you from Twitter. You have to read details about how your bf kissed someone, and how he thinks there's no future. In detail. How is that a nice thing to do to another woman? How is that a nice thing to do to a colleague? And isn't it likely that a single woman or man dating on the apps in London may follow a very popular dating blogger. So no one blogging about their dating life publically can claim to be a considerate or kind human being, or better than anyone on this site. Anyone berating strangers online, whether a blog, or a gossip site is hurting someone.
I have to say, I agree with what you've written here. A lot of what is on this thread makes me really uncomfortable. It's one thing critiquing someone's blogs and another to start getting into their personal life.Absolutely. Whether you agree with what Lucy did, it is the PUBLISHING of their identities that is the biggest issue here and what makes a large group of contributors to this thread hypocritical in the extreme.
We are all absolutely entitled to talk about our lives and our experiences, our opinions of people in our lives and how we feel through our encounters with them. We own those experiences as much as the other person so there’s no copyright. Lucy shouldn’t have published private text messages but recounting her dates on her blog is not illegal. It would not be illegal even if she were not anonymous and she named people. The hot water for her is breaching any work privacy or safe guarding policies relating to sexual harassment of colleagues.
The earlier posters in this thread, the ones who have doxxed Lucy, YC, Charlie and a dating dad hold up the argument that “anybody could work out who person x, y, z is” from Lucy’s various social platforms. But this would require taking steps to work it out e.g.
- going to Facebook, looking up the IRL name of a dating dad and hunting through his friend list until you find someone with a particular hair style
- using photoshop to change image levels to reveal Lucy’s name and address on a photo she doctored to hide that private information
- hitting up Google with various combinations of words that may link to Lucy’s professional life in the hopes of uncovering her work accounts.
The law regarding harassment here is concerned with what constitutes reasonable action. Sleuthing through another stranger’s Facebook, while clever, amounts to unreasonable action under UK harassment laws, the same with the photo editing. The question that has to be answered is “is that reasonable behaviour?” or “what would most normal people do?” And you can bet your very last dollar that both of those actions prompt negative answers to those questions. Even worse, the poster did both of those and then some... This is stalking.
And what sets this thread apart from what y’all are admonishing Lucy for is publishing their names, particularly the name of Y, who is an innocent bystander, thus removing all possibility of doubt. Lucy didn’t do that; you did that.
Lucy has almost certainly fallen foul of work policies but you have not only removed all doubt about YC’s identity, you have encouraged others to stalk his personal social media. I almost want him to find out about this thread so he can report you for harassment.
I dont think EA has written for Metro for a long time, just keeps that in his bio for kudos. Probably helps impress the dumb vulnerable people he preys upon. Also Metro dont employ him, its a freelance gig that's inactive. Talk about pathetic!I still think it is not Bianca. I think it is closer to home. Even when Lucy and Charlie parted ways, there was still some interaction and indeed EA_unadorned wrote a lengthy piece for Lucy's blog which even his wife commented on. Then they appeared to be a massive falling out and she finally got rid of the narcissistic Charlie, he was used to being fawned upon not rejected publicly. His "partner" (not the wife) wrote a lengthy piece on how happy she was that it was over because her hierarchy had been disturbed. What I cannot understand is why she deleted the post immediately after it was mentioned here? There was no reason to delete it? And why have the people who unmasked Lucy now decided not to post here any further? I noticed EA is a Metro Life Blogger, omg they employ predators to preach the alternative lifestyle.
Completely agreeLucy was annoying but not hurtful or dangerous like Bianca.
