I have been apprised via email that someone is apparently posing as me and making trollish posts on Livejournal. I swear to Almighty God that this person is not me. I have never in my life posted anything on Livejournal and today is only the second time I have even been to the site. I don’t know if there’s anyway to prove that it’s not me but I hope there is.
I plead absolutely guilty and will face any music at all for anything I’ve ever posted on this board but I’ll be damned if I’m going to let myself get sabotaged on this board by some character assassin pretending to be me on a different board. A lot of people don’t like me on this board and that’s fine with me but if whoever is doing this to me is reading this, you know who you are and you know you’re full of shit so FUCK YOU!
It’s not me people, it’s someone fucking around trying to stir up shit.
The person who emailed me said it was under the name “Diogenes t c.” He emailed a link but the journal or whatever you call it appears to be gone.
The imposter apparently accused Weirddave of “reporting me to the SDMB” admins (for what i have no idea) and deleted all his posts, or at least that’s what the emailer said.
Until today, I had no idea that people actually got together on another website to make anonymous, snivelling comments about other Dopers. What is this, the 8th fucking grade?
Well, whoever fucking “Diogenes d c” is, he ain’t me. I’ll say whatever I have to say right here in front of everybody.
Well I, for one, am relieved. The DTC on LJ was a loudmouth rabble rouser who made little sense, certainly I can see how you would want to distance yourself from that kind of an online image. Thank God the impostor deleted his entire LJ just before you posted this thread, obviously it’s a different person. Now you don’t have to worry about him dragging your good name through the muck. I am sure you want to put this entire event behind you and delete it from your memory, rest assured I intend to judge you based solely upon your posting history here on the SDMB.
I thought everyone (everyone with anywhere near as many posts as you have, anyway) knew about the various anonymous communities that have sprung up on LJ over the years.
The one linked to above is only the most recent one.
You’ve got to watch out you know Keep an eye on these things.
I’ve been aware of the snark board for a short while. I’ve really not been following what goes on there with great steadfast dedication, but some of the things they accusing “Diogenes” of doing there were, well, gutless, and that didn’t seem to be your style. I took your “presence” there with a grain of salt.
Incubus found out about a previous snark board and started a thread here (link to the board was removed and thread was closed, as I suspect this one will be soon enough). You can read some of our reactions about it there. Yes, it’s true, a lot of us are blissfully ignorant of the “Mean Girl” (love that term, Diogenes) contingent of the Straight Dope. Or, as I call them, “Bottom-feeding lowest common denominators.”
Was this guy posting as “Diogenes” in an SDMB-related LJ? Or was he just being a general LJ jerk, and happened to have picked the same screen name as you?
Or, I should say, “a lot of us were blissfully ignorant.” I just found out recently, as others did (in the wake of Incubus’s thread). I felt like I’d been living under a rock, since I recalled reading vague allusions to another “community” for quite some while, but just didn’t connect the dots.
Eh, they’ve been around for a while. They’re nasty, all right, but I don’t take them seriously. I admit to reading them just for shits and giggles, like reading the tabloids while waiting in line at the grocery store. And like the tabloids, I take everything I read there with a huge grain of salt. After all, anyone who’s met me knows I don’t have bad teeth.
Duh, I’d have to HAVE teeth in the first place!
Keep an eye on these things.
