Firstly this is the only reply I'm going to post on this subject as I know from experience someone will run to the mods claiming "they're flaming me!" and suddenly half the thread disappears.

I don't expect you to respect my position, I'm simply providing context and clarity to how I, as someone on the other side of the lens, feels.

I read your post and you sounded quite foolish. Perhaps you should have made you feelings about the incident clear in the original post? The fact is this guy was taking photos on a UK beach I really can't see what laws he would be breaking. As for protecting you and your wife's likeness, is that really worth worrying about, I mean what job must you do if either of you are going to get in trouble for visiting a naturist beach? You say you enjoy beach voyeur photos yet don't like the idea of appearing in such photos, sorry but that makes you a hypocrite.

But one genuinely offensive bit was that you falsely accused him of being a p*********. Sorry but no matter what you say to justify yourself that is vile and inexcusable.
