[Closed] Own up. Who set up a Twitter feed in my user name?

All the hallmarks of someone that gives this place a [i]little[/i] too much importance in life. Ignore & move on; clearly a tool.

Sincerest form of flattery, apparently. 😀

That's really odd.

A random Google...

Yes, of course...

I tried to check a newly opened instagram account using google and this Twitter feed appeared.

That's some next level bitching - 3 years old as well 😆

Wow, that is proper odd behaviour. Weird enough to do it in the first place but to keep it up for 3 years is plain creepy.

Reminds me of STW argue, quite a lot tbh.

Clearly not McMoonter.

Looks like an automated account set up by a web bot, no human content and only posts when you create a thread.

I clicked the link and thought it a little funny if weird. Scrolled down and saw how long it had been going and, well, its either automated or updated by a bit of a basket case.

Awwwww, that's got Fred written all over it. Miss the little sociopathic narcissist. <waves> Hi Fred! (He's bound to be watching)

Yeah. I have a farcebook account set up. Not by me. Probably one of my farcebook loving mates knowing my email address.
Every week I get several 'friend requests' in my inbox. Some from my mates (regular repeaters) some from folk I know thru work, others are complete strangers.
All get ignored and deleted.

How very odd.

Who was Fred again?

Yeah that is a bit weird

Jeez, that's creepy!

Yes ,creepy is the word.
To get all "midsomer murder" on you,it's probably someone you know!!!

I think I'd be a tad freaked out by that 😯

People are strange.

You can report it, not sure what will happen though:

Double bluff to get more clicks on the page I reckon.
Well played McMoonter

I've reported the feed to Twitter under their impersonation policy.

Thankfully and predictably there seems to have been very little traffic relating to the feed, that in itself bemuses me as to why its creator would persist in its continuation.

I find STW a great resource and a hugely supportive and enthusiastic community. Whenever I've posted or read anything on here it astonishes and amuses me in equal measure how diverse and compassionate a random group of cyclists can be.

To whoever has taken it upon themselves to maliciously impersonate me, my email address is still in my profile. I'd be interested to listen to why you feel the need undertake this action. My life has been as challenging as anyone's on here.

Great attitude McMoonter. Keep it alive. It's an odd world this STW.

That's deeply creepy. Unpleasant, too.

It does rather have the hallmarks of a thankfully former member of this parish. Nasty.

Wow, that's concerning on a couple of levels.

Did you have any beef with he who must not be named before his excommunication?

creepy...weird...odd...strange...unpleasant

Mmmm, starts a thread about someone self publicising, mmm.
Not really, someone with a big problem. Bigger than having more timber than most arborists would know what to do with.

Very odd but there are some right weirdos out there. Surfmatt once of this parish has been stalked by a few people and it is still going on. Stupid sod is convinced its me as we have had quite a few barneys on SSB. Truth is he has behaved so weirdly on so many different forums it could be anyone.

Mcmoonter hope you get it sorted out.

I've never met him, if it is who has been suggested above, I only ever contributed to one or two of the architectural threads he started.

How very odd.

How very odd.

Judging by the comments on each post it doesn't seem to be automated and reading the sub-text it seems to be someone that thinks you are a bit of a show off for "flaunting" your wood and fiefdom.

Not something I've ever thought myself. Personally I enjoy your contributions and I've always thought you were fairly matter-of-fact about it all - not showy at all. So in that mind I'd put it down to simple resentment and jealousy.

Who was 'eyepic'? I reckon it's them.

Let me know when they Lynch mob is forming, I've just sharpened my pitch fork....

Same as GrahamS, Just envy possibly?. Report it and please (genuinely) carry on as normal, don't let it stop you contributing, you're one of the more interesting posters on here, timber, travel and other tales.

There are some odd folks in this world.

Meh.

Move on.

Please don't let it stop you. I'm happy to read your contributions, even if I'm consumed by jealous envy at your firewood mountains.

That is bizarre. That must be one sadsack to get that wound up about the interesting stuff you post up here.

How very odd.

For the record. I don't live an especially flamboyant, frivolous or privileged life. I never have. I have lived and worked as an artist since I left art college. I enjoy creative projects, by posting their outcomes on here my hope is that they may inspire, in the way that I am inspired by those which others undertake. You'll never see me post something that hasn't been a challenge to create, financially, technically or physically. Many would never have succeeded were it not from the input received on here. I will equally applaud those that share their projects too.

I've sought and shared advice on mental and physical illness, Those inputs have been the most valuable.

When I start a what Lamborghini to get to my pad in the Riviera thread, I'd feel this type of persecution was justified. But when I'm welding up the sills of my twenty year old Discovery so I can reclaim some fallen timber to heat my home and studio I feel it's a little unjustified.

My life so far hasn't been at all easy and it's future is as uncertain as the next mans.

I think I probably speak for many others when I say this but there's absolutely no need for you to justify your posts on here and you don't come across as a "show-off" in any way, shape or form.

The author of that Twitter account is the one with the issues.

Good luck dealing with this...I'd be really pissed off if it happened to me.

There again...having a doppelganger might be useful!!!!!

That's pretty disturbing! ❗

Bregante +1

Bregante +1

that's properly weird.

WHat he said your posts and threads are very enjoyable and something I look forward to.

Dont be deterred from posting on here due to this as I for one would miss your posts, unlike the coach 😛

Wow. Whoever is behind it is properly bitter and twisted. Best not leave any fava beans or chianti in the fridge!
