Just curious...

I saw this posted over at http://www.gale-harold.it/english/home.php

"Hi people! Hope you have a nice week… Lately some people are posting pictures of Gale, which I consider to be very private (we DO know about those pictures!). They’re private moments stolen from Gale’s “daily life”."

and I was just wondering if anyone knew what/where these picture were?

Mods - If it is forbidden/taboo to post this quote here or ask this question, please let me know & I will delete at once.

Thanks!

Please be very careful when making sweeping comments like "every fan". I'm a fan and I certainly did not see any pictures like the ones you are talking about nor was I going gaga over those photos...

Please don't lump sum people just because you have your own opinion and others seem to have one that vastly differ from yours.

I have not seen the photos in question, though I did hear about them. However, I don't think anyone no matter how famous or not should have to worry about people basically stalking them for a photograph or autograph. I don't believe anyone signed off their rights to privacy once they decided they wanted to act, write, paint, etc. I will never understand this mindset that those behaviors are okay and the people that it's happening to "should know better" or "learn to deal with it". I wouldn't want my work following me home, catching up to me at a coffee shop, the store, the movies and inquiring about what I'm doing, if I didn't mind doing work related things during my time off. (I love the work I do, but I don't want to tied to it 24/7.)

As far as him "enjoying it"....from the few photos I did see...he didn't seem to "enjoy it".

TL;DR. I disagree with many of your statements. You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. I just don't care to be lumped into broad statements like the ones you made in your first paragraph.

by enjoying it, I meant his career and the business, he's enjoying it much more than he ever has in the past. He knows how to be invisible, if he wants to be.

Ok, correction, 'every fan COULD see his home', because of his own real estate agents screw up.

Its not like Gale made a statement, pleading for help or damning anyone, I am just saying it wasnt a big deal.

Ipitydafool, you are very lucky with your job. I work for a large corporation, which I love, but we sign statements saying our behaviour in public, reflects the company, so we are always an on. If a client complains about our behaviour at a ballgame, off the clock, we can get fired. If a customer comes up to us at the park with our kids, we must see to their needs.

So, from my POV, Gale sure seems to have a sweet deal. In today's world, we are all at the mercy of privacy intrusion. He gets the big checks and pretty travel for his time. I see celebs as on call, to some degree. I would never ask for a photo or autograph, but for some, its important and its the fans only chance.

The other poster is right, SPN has made photogs around the city well known to fans. By doing it, they took a lot of the power away from them and have a whole lot more peace of mind, enough to even buy homes there. Surely Gale is as crafty as the other actors there, its a huge community, he lives in LA, right? Vancouver should be a breeze for him and he said he loved being there for Hellcats, so it couldnt have irked him too badly last year.

I always find it interesting anytime I see your name, there's countless other comments you could respond to, but you always choose mine. :) I suppose I should be flattered?

Yes, I worked for a major corporation that had many centers around the U.S. We had to sign those very same forms even going so far that if we were online and did anything that could be considered "bad" then we could potentially lose our position. However, I suppose I am lucky that when I have run into my "clients" in public they have always been courteous enough to say "hi", ask how I've been, and move on. They've never brought their problems to me except when I was at work. It seems maybe I live in a different place than most people that most respects another person's right to a more private life.

Maybe it's because I have a few friends that have been stalked by fans, hounded by people taking countless photos of them, finding out their phone numbers and posting them on public places that I feel those that make statements like "they need to learn to deal" I have a hard time adjusting to and I'm not limiting this to just Gale as it may have seemed in my previous comment, but to anyone.

That's what bothered me the most was the fact that there are people that think that sort of behavior is okay and I've never understood that mindset.
