For what it's worth, a little investigation (of the sort the mods discourage having described in detail here) turns up that the woman in the photos is indeed an American from Texas living in London. And there's evidence that her photobucket really was hacked -- but that was over 3 months before WNBR! In other words, there shouldn't be anything here that came from there.

She seems to have attracted a stalker on Flickr who's collecting all the pictures of her from the ride he can find, so maybe this is a reaction to some sort of ongoing harassment, including the PB hack, going back to before the ride. If that's the case, though, I don't know why someone who was dealing with that kind of unwanted attention would even ride, much less put up a whole public gallery of themselves. So I think she's just confused.
I love how we're getting guys who can't be bothered to post actual content coming out of the woodwork to criticize a girl who asked for her private photos to be removed. And no, she's not confused. Her private PB pics were posted here on OCC, though presumably now they've been removed by a mod. So she had every reason and every right to come on here and asked for them to be removed. And while choosing to ride nude does mean she should expect to find pictures of herself on the internet, she has every right to ride in the WNBR and not have her personal, private, stolen photos posted online. Let's please stop criticizing a girl who made a simple, reasonable request.

And as for her abrasive tone, I would say it's in response to the inherent creepiness of discussing in detail her real-life identity. It's something I've posted about quite often. I can't tell you how many personal references I've had to flag and ask for mods to remove. We've done a good job of removing last names and other positive identifiers, but I'd argue that we've left far too much stuff stay. As you pointed out, you can use the information posted on this board to find out her personal information. Not cool, and if I found that stuff posted about me I'd flip out too.
