Restaurants Impostors
Posted by Besha Rodell @BeshaRodell on Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 1:03 AM
In recent weeks we have had an increasing problem with people pretending to be other well-known posters, bloggers and personalities. It has to stop. I'm asking nicely.
When you post a comment on Omnivore, I can look from the back end and see your IP address. So, if someone is posting as multiple people (and believe it or not, it appears that one poster is posting as multiple people and arguing with him-or-her SELF), I can tell. The only solution, if this does not stop, is to disallow the offending posters. I'd hate to do that. But really, it's only one or two people. So, if I have to, I will. Honestly I just have better things to do than police this dumb crap.
Post as yourself. Or make up a new screen name every time. Just don't pretend to be someone you're not. Please.
Thanks in advance for what I'm sure will be a mature decision.

I've never understood the "troll" mentality. I mean, yeah I used to make prank phone calls as a kid, but the whole "lulz" culture just confuses me. To put so much effort into something with so little reward speaks volumes about the value of one's time.

Wow! I thought I needed to get a life. That is both funny and sad at the same time.
I'm the President of the United States...how dare you speak to me in such a manner??
