    I've wondered for some time how long it would take the trolls to start pretending to be me on a regular basis.

        I've mentioned several times before that I have no interest in signups, cookies, karma, or any of that.

        Someone with an aberrant sense of right and wrong has screwed that pooch anyway. [soylentnews.org]

          But it would make it so much easier for us to stalk you!

          I generally like your posts. If you used an account, I could 'friend' you so that your posts would turn up with an extra +1 or +2 for me, making it more likely I'd see them. I'd also be able to check your user page for a list of your recent posts and article submissions, if I felt in need of some extra gewg_. Creating an account and signing in with it isn't really that much of a hassle -- I don't even know what my Soylent password is. I have tools for that.

          It's pretty shitty (though not unexpected) that somebody stole your nick; if there was some way the admins could know they were communicating with the real gewg_, it'd be nice to get you control of that account (even if you don't use it).
          As that doesn't seem likely, I'd like to see that account closed down so that nobody can access it.

          You make a huge contribution to Soylent News, and I'm glad you are here regardless of how you choose to post.

          How you post, is of course, entirely your choice, and I'll say no more on the matter!

            Yeah, pretty sure we've offered to turn the account over to him. Or at least discussed it in our uber-secret channel where we plot what to do with all the money we'll get for selling out to Dice, I forget.

              Why limit yourself to selling out to Dice?

          I admit that I am not _gewg, but only because I think _gewg is a cool person and wanted to tease him/her/fused.
