I completely understand all of that. That's one of the reasons that I said:

"Not sure if she would want to be known by that name as she's clearly moved on from adult material."

Which was in response to her ID found on Sugarvod being the same name she could be found by in her non-porn modern profession. I was suggesting it so the mods that close the searches wouldn't use it accidentally.

I didn't actually disagree with most of what Nightjar said. I just found it odd the way he said it, epecially in a sub-forum in which the exact same thing could be said about 20% of all the ID requests that come through here. All the stuff about 'vile misogyny' and 'it really disturbs me to think that a former model's real name is on the record' (as if that's unusual) just struck me as bizarre and unneccessary. I agree that we walk a fine line in this forum between cataloguing and ID'ing for reference and linking purposes, and potentially naming someone who wouldn't want to be named. But I think this thread was actually on the right side of it which is why I said what I said above, and why I reacted to Nightjar's post.

Here's how I would have responded had I been responding to someone elses thread:

"Since that seems to be her real name and she seems to have moved on from her adult days, for the sake of her privacy we might be better off using only her first name and possibly surname inital as an ID and leaving it at that."

Kind of says the same thing without the 'Oh God, please, let's all just leave her alone' - as if we're a lynch mob trying to wreck her life, something none of us would want to do to women who want to leave the industry behind.

Anyway, I think this discussion has been valuable regardless.
