ORIGINAL: mckeownd I am one of the leading documentary makers in my field, and every move I makes is informed by experience the likes of which there is no possibility that you have. I appreciate you taking the time to be so uselessly passive aggressive. Happy Christmas, D. How does that work then? I've worked as a journalist for quite a while, every single time we posted anywhere to look for volunteers or research, we had to contact the site owners if it is alright with them, run the "ad" past them and get approval, it's standard procedure, especially since you aren't doing investigative journalism but you are looking for willing participants. Also it is quite customary to name the publication - in your case the production company - if it is so leading, nothing to be ashamed of, but possible participants should have that information ready to make an informed choice. So sorry, did your experience stop you from following proper procedures? There is the word of somebody who doesn't identify himself or whoever he works for that identities will be protected and it's legit, ho hum, yes we should trust everything somebody says on the net... Sorry, your approach sounds a bit like the Jerry Springer approach, but even his researches always identify themselves, give a number one can call to verify and a legit email (usually not an anonymous gmail addy). On a personal note, anybody who doesn't know the difference between BDSM (fetishes are often a part of it) and swingers hasn't done the most basic research and I wouldn't trust them with my identity or to make an unbiased documentary... In case you want to get the word out, I would suggest you approach a few of the party organizers in Dublin, talk to them, get their approval (you know the usual steps one takes when doing legit research) and start from there, maybe they'd be willing to let you put notes up in their venues, once you convinced them that it is all legit...
