Yes yes, I am totally trawling my sent emails for blogging material. Deal with it.
A very kind and astute reader of this blog informed me that she had found a photo of my boy on a profile on CollarMe. Was it my boy? Nooooo, it was not…
Really??!!
Strangers on the internet tell lies and are not to be trusted??!! I can scarcely believe it!
Hello lying_scumbag,
The photo you have on your profile is one that I took of my submissive.
You have perhaps taken it from malesubmissionart.com or from my blog in the mistaken belief that it is free to use however you like without attribution. While I am flattered and pleased that you like the photo, and I agree that he is beautiful, it is not right to use it without attribution, not least in a profile where someone might think it is a photo of you.
You are free to use it, copy it, share it, however the original photo is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License, which includes the requirement that you attribute it.
Please remove the photograph from your profile or add a note to make it clear where you copied it from.

The same thing happened with all the text on my profile on CollarMe, once. A number of Dommes wrote to alert me that another submale had copied it almost verbatim. The culprit pulled the text from his profile – and eventually apologised to all the Dommes who'd complained. But not to me. *Sigh*. The essential point still eluded him.
I checked your link, Miss Ferns. Phwoargh! I have to say, also, that your boy's backside is almost as good as my own. A compliment indeed!

puppy: “The culprit pulled the text from his profile – and eventually apologised to all the Dommes who'd complained. But not to me. *Sigh*. The essential point still eluded him.”
Ha! I doubt it eluded him, he just didn't *care* what you thought…
“I checked your link, Miss Ferns. Phwoargh!”
Phwoargh indeed! I can't argue with you there.
“I have to say, also, that your boy's backside is almost as good as my own. A compliment indeed!”
Well, to verify that, I would have to wrap it up in exactly the same way, take a photo, and compare like for like. It's only fair.
