How Would You Feel If Another Forum Member.......

.....submits posts using your own BWW name and also copies your avatar, every time you change yours? I personally think it's very disturbing and creepy. In this case, imitation is NOT the sincerest form of flattery. If it happened once or twice, then one may ignore it. But it happens constantly. I have my avatar with an autographed photo of Patti LuPone inscribed: "To Roman, love Patti LuPone". I got this when I visited with her in her dressing room in March 2006 following her perf in "Sweeney Todd." He began using that avatar too. I also thought it would be kind of cute to have an avatar of Topo Gigio, a cute Italian mouse puppet famous in the 1960's. This guy then used the same avatar. I went back to using that autographed photo as my avatar, the he did the same. To some, it might seem quaint and amusing. It ceases to be amusing when it happens all the time. I've tried to explain with him that I don't appreciate what he's doing. Nothing. I've tried contacting everyone who I can think of, but no luck with that. I would try to contact him directly, but he doesn't have contact information. It is a very odd situation. This is my first post in this section. I guess I just wanted to "get it off my chest." thanks... RC in Austin, Texas...

Well, on one hand, the person in question is an absolute idiot, but not because of the fact that he makes fun of your signature.

On the other hand, you really need to get over it.

... completely flattered at the attention?

gayer than laughter, am I. And who wouldn't be, after seeing Cheyenne in those tight black shorts?

Phyllis....nice picture... whoever that might be. That is such a unique and special avatar. The vast majority of the forum members would respect that, I imagine. But perhaps your thoughts might change if someone was copying your avatar and doing other things... as NeddyFrank2 is doing... from RC in Austin, Texas

Diva, you are my mostest favorite poster. I would offer to be your sock, but I am sure your right hand is already in use.

No, but Anthonys nose is so far up my butt that is hard to get anything done.

Can the moderators help?

We have a competitor in our line of business that continually tries to confuse the marketplace. I feel your pain. It's not fun, funny, amusing, etc. And it's only flattering in an academic sort of way. But in real life, it's annoying as heck.

By the way, I haven't been able to see any avatars for about a month. I thought BWW did away with them. Do I have to change a setting?

there's no way to stop it and it happens all the time anyway.
Accept it and just ignore the poster who's doing it.

Papa, you almost made Odwalla Super Protein Vanilla Al'Mondo shoot out my nose with your new avatar.

Excellent fast work there.

I think it's awful that you excluded my avater from your selection, Papa. I'm offended.

Ooo! A thread all about me!!!

I feel honored.

Thanks! The Official Patti LuPone FANatic.

Edit: I think it is funny that you decided to post this now since I haven't posted on the same thread as you or used your signature for a couple of weeks now.

there's no copyright on avatars/signatures, so unless you're assuming people are too stupid to read your username i think you need to stop bitching and deal with it.

Of course if it happened to Liverpool he'd be contacting the advertisers.

ok, i gotta admit that liv is pretty doggone sensitive about his av. i mean it's almost intrinsic to who he is not only as a poster but as a human being.

he will too.

i once saw him slaughter an entire girl scout troop because one of them giggled at his assless chaps.

he didn't even break a sweat and used nothing but a bendy straw.
