Yeppers nic----I had a bad few days because someone using my screen name went to DUmmieland, bragging about how "I" had "infiltrated" FR...and got a lot of freepers to trust me, and believe that I was one of "them"...
A lot of freepers just "talked" about me for a long time that day, and I had no clue about it...and then a few actually let me know, like pbrown (even though she was mad at what she thought was me) in a freepmail...
Also, a few contacted the admin moderator..and was reassured that I was NOT the person that would go on DU...
I still have no clue who did it...and luckily it hasn't happened again.
But, if you suspect someone has "stolen" your name to use against you, I would contact Jim personally, or and admin moderator and warn them.
Besides, you are very well known here, and FWIW, I would vouch that you are one of the "good guys"...LOL
Seems like another lifetime ago, doesn't it?

Thanks.
Oh, this happened maybe a couple years ago (I can't remember exactly), not at DU, but another site. And I did let JR know it wasn't me. There were other FReepers posting there who also knew it wasn't me. But the thing is, you can't make someone else not use your posting name at another site. Nor can you make a privately owned site comply with your demands about an anonymous posting name. You have no "birth right" to it, lol!
