Right, a couple of months back, I got asked to post some photos on the forum for the resort I stayed in on holiday. I also posted a report to 28DL for one of the bars there.

Then out of the blue today, I recieved this PM.

I am the owner of Whispers. You do not have the right to put pictures of my business on the website without my permission. If you do not remove these images in 24 hours, I will report you to the police and find you anywhere you are. Understood?!
You better have!

Surely not? Where do I stand with that? As a good will gesture, I've asked for the thread to be deleted from 28DL and PM'd the guy back telling him this.

Right guys, the thread is now gone, just to make sure and stop this guy from having a massive hissy fit and overloading my PM box! The report on 28DL wasn't exactly fantastic anyway, so its no loss to that community really!

No, I didn't write a bad review, just a report like all 28DL reports, a brief history of the bar etc. It's been closed for neigh on 5 years apparently.

Anyway, cheers for all your help, if he replies, i'll let y'all know how I get on

However, I don't see why someone would post holiday photos on 28DL, which is a website about illegal urban photography. As an owner of a business I don't think I would want associations with urbex stuff.
But there are much more diplomatic approaches to avoid negative publicity!

Well, I didn't post my holiday photos on 28DL, I made a report containing the property in question and nothing else.

Ah right so it was an urbex affair. Well you're stuffed really as the pictures you have taken were obtained illegally as a result of trespass?

Right, I want to clarify something, all it was is a bar with an open sort of decking area, all I did was walk through this area, and stick my camera into the bar area through the windows that were there. I never actually entered the building itself. Although I know entering the land itself is probably tresspassing. Please don't take it so abruptly just because i mentioned 28DL!
