Commented on BB reader: "Two FBI agents just showed up at my door for taking photos in the Port of Los Angeles"
Seems like this went pretty normally, actually. A security truck followed you, but didn't do anything to in any way impede your actions. A couple FBI guys stopped by, said "hi", and didn't threaten you in any way. It's good...
Commented on Google blurs horse face on Street View
A horse walks into a Google map. Why the long face? And, @JeffV, no, no, and no. None of those are in any way applicable....
Commented on Racist signs in Thailand
@15 There are quite a few male prostitutes in Thailand. And quite of few of them look like female prostitutes in all but the last few details. Google "Kathoey" for the term somewhat unique to Thailand. Not all Kathoey are...

Holtt @2, that may be the only scenario you can imagine, but that doesn't mean that's what happened. If you'd checked out the link to Thomas Hawke's version, here's what you would have found:"According to Bergman, he and a buddy were taking photos at the Port of Los Angeles when they were confronted by a security guard who told them that they could not take photographs of a Valero plant even from the public street."Note: as far as I know, it's legal to take photos of stuff that's in direct line of sight from a public street."You can see some...

@Doctor Pickles, I'm the photographer you're discussing. I thought I should clarify a few points. First, yes, I had parked my car in a large, empty dirt lot with no fence and no signs, and then walked off to take photos about half a block away. As I was shooting, I noticed a private security guard inspecting my car, so I walked back and introduced myself. He informed me that I could not park there as it was private property, and so I offered to move my car. It was COMPLETELY within his right to ask me to move my...

Pyrokinetic, I posted earlier that you should have provided an explanation to the security guard that you were shooting stock photography as part of your job. I didn't get that info from your original blog, but from what you just posted it's clear that you did that. I stand corrected and extend an apology. I'm glad that things worked out for you in the end....

But do these same guys ever show up to defend me when someone's having a screaming snit-fit over being moderated? Of course not. For one thing, BoingBoing isn't the government. For another, you're female, and it is therefore much more difficult for them to imagine that by supporting your efforts, they are compensating for their own failure to live up to their version of the masculine ideal....
