[metmom]

I went over there and hit abuse.

You don’t have to register but they do ask for a name and email address.

I have one that doesn’t give away any personal information and used that and told them I was the real metmom.

Last I checked, the post had not been removed, but I don’t know how fast their mods work.

Thanks, I did it too and complained about the whole thread as well.

If people do that sort of thing, what would they do in person if they got a chance. Or with any personal info. Malicious intent is very bad.

I went over there and hit abuse.

I skimmed the comments there, immediately noticing the familiar names.
AT ONCE I knew these were parody comments, with the exception of one or two.

After a while, love 'em or hate 'em you get to know people's writing style
and unless someone was completely ignorant of FR there's no way those
comments could be seen as legitimate.

While I disagree with the poster pinging Jim and his subsequent comments
I don't see this "offsite spoofing" as anything sinister. It's been
done to me often (though not in this case) and I'm always amused by
it. Maybe a bit flattered and gratified that I riled someone up
enough to bother. But I never worried that anyone would think it was
really me in my proper person. Wrong style, wrong phrasing, wrong points.

While I agree that the poster's ping to Jim was malicious I
don't think the parody posts are that big a deal. Certainly Jim
would not be fooled by them. Even someone with no particular fondness
for you would know the comments attributed to you were not made by you. ;-)
