I'm being impersonated again.

Swindleslog is apparently back on LJ, looks to be inspired by the fact I have a tumblr now, considering that they popped 'Ask Swindle' under the name bar

Their ethical nature as a person is what is atrocious.

I am disgusted and honestly pretty horrifed by this. Stealing my fanart- fine, I do not appreciate that, but whatever. You're a lazy attention whore.

Stealing my reputation and face as a member of a fandom?

Horrified.

[swindleslog]

It is beyond creepy, and this is the second time with the same account.

Honestly, I am disturbed.

[niyazi_a]

What the....? Why would anyone even DO that?!? I mean. Wow. Just. ALL the WTF in the universe.

I'm so sorry it's happening to you, apparently again. I'd be furious.

[swindleslog]

I'm more freaked out by it then mad at this point. Its creepy, and I do not want someone who is that much of an asshole using my online persona as theirs.

Very freaked.

I think that person may win the prize for most fucked-up behavior on the internet. Plagiarists and art thieves I've seen, but stealing your entire online persona? WTF?

[swindleslog]

Yeah, that's pretty much my sentiments too. If I thought it was trolling or something, or just being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole, that's offensive, but this?

I'm pretty sure they're serious, and that's worse.

I just registered the part where you said this is the second time this has happened. Ew, ew, ew. I can't do anything at the moment because I'm at work - we've got such an antique version of IE that my login window on DA is blocked by a "please upgrade your browser" message - but when I get home tonight, I'll chip in to report this creepster.

So sorry you have to deal with this crap. *hug*

[swindleslog]

Yeah, it is time number. Time number one they got back with 'looks like they closed their account, lol, not a problem anymore.'

Yeah, screw you deviantfart, kinda still is. And thank you anon-D. :)

[ultharkitty]

That's seriously nasty of them. Shit D: I really hope they get banned very soon (although by the look of it the first complaints went up a month ago and they're still there. Bad form, DeviantArt, very bad.)

[swindleslog]

They closed their account the first time they got caught, before mods got to it, and DA mods being DA mods, they were like 'lol that's that'. I felt paranoid about it and checked every other week or so, and oh- hey, look at that. Fears founded when they opened it again.

[anon_decepticon]

If they do end up deleting/being deleted again, could you prevent future incidents by making a DA swindleslog account yourself? You wouldn't have to actually USE it, just claim the name so no one else can. Would that work?

[swindleslog]

I thought about it, but I don't think so. I'll try when they're gone this time, but I think its a case of once the name is up, its taken and gone. :(

[iiiskaaa]

Wow, what an absolute creep that person is.

[swindleslog]

Creepy and just slimey. I don't even know what would compel someone to do that, just- ICK.
