OK...someone is impersonating me on the Huffington Post blog.

[Plaid Adder]

Here's a piece of bizarreness:

In the comments there are two crude attempts at parody posted under my handle, which I of course didn't actually write. Who the hell has time to go around the Internet doing unconvincing Plaid Adder impressions? More to the point, why does anyone bother?

The universe is so full of surprises,

The Plaid Adder

1. Several DUers were impersonated by freeps on the Conyers blog

Regulars like Bouncy Ball and Mr. Scorpio.

It's sad, just sad. I hope to see the same level of Bush support when the freeps are drafted and on a troop carrier headed for Iran.

2. Sounds like the crowd on that

site which shall not be named here which is full of very sad, disturbed, bitter people who resent folks here.

3. There's only one Plaid Adder - they're just blowing smoke up

their own butt. Dipshits.

4. Some day the "Internet(s)" is going to have to deal with

plagerism and impersonation. It seems to be going on alot lately according to some posts of other DU'ers.

So sorry this happened to you. Don't know what you can do except notify the webmaster. But, thanks for the "heads up." Those of us who know your writing would pick up that it isn't you...if that's any comfort. And, hopefully those who read will notice that's it's bad quality writing and just ignore it and not remember.

Not much consolation though. Kinda makes one mad as hell...

5. Sounds like you've made an impression.

Consider it a twisted form of flattery.

6. I think you meant..

... the universe is full of assholes. Well, not full, but one seems to have appeared on the blog. :)

Have you emailed the admin and tried to get the acct deleted?
