Sandstone, And now we have some woman in the TAPS 18+ Forum accusing me of breaking the law (intellectual property rights). Why? Because I have "assumed" the identity of Dr. Michael Rhodes. This is all so very silly. Michael Michael, I suppose they are all really ghosts, trees, animals, or whatever…They are just mad because you made them look silly. If TAPS is so concerned, maybe all posters should use real names (backed up by real ID cards), so no one could hide behind an avatar of any sort. If you had made up a believable name (Dr Allen Smith) and started handing out medical advice (Watching GH causes brains to dissolve, so stop before you have nothing left!), I might be a little concerned. But the truth is, THIS IS THE INTERNET, I could be anyone and so could you... It makes me wonder how these people function in real life. Do they believe every politician who says 'vote for me because I'll lower taxes', and then are shocked when taxes go up after the election is over? J&G are perpetuating a hoax on these people for personal gain, and they don't want anyone to break the spell. It's kind of sad, but if someone wants to be a sucker, that's his or her own problem. You can’t save them, Michael. (But we can laugh at them, I know it’s evil, but we can…) Sandstone

One of the mods over there has a picture of Sean Connery has his avatar, so is he pulling something illegal, or is he just trying to pick up chicks?

So for those keeping track of this. Within three days: (1) I was told to shut up and not participate in the forum. (2) I was repeatedly accused of being Loyd Auerbach. (3) It was said that I've been trying to deceive people into thinking that I'm someone (Michael Rhodes) that I'm not. (4) It was suggested that I was breaking the law. Somewhere in all this the criticisms of the Distillery episode got lost. Michael

The TAPS Yahoo forum just now figured out that I'm neither Gary Collins nor Michael Rhodes. I only informed the moderator about this on, ahhh, June 6. Perhaps in a week they'll be talking about how I'm really Loyd Auerbach. (BTW, I'm not Auerbach....to anticipate a misunderstanding). These kids seem to think that the added disclaimer on my myspace page is some kind of mea culpa on my part or concession that I was "exposed" on the TAPS Forum. Do we have the heart to tell them that the disclaimer was put up for the sake of the stupid people? As I told Sandstone, I need to go now and send a message to that little girl in the Exorcist, Regan. She added me as a friend. She must be that girl because she says she is on her page and there are no disclaimers. She even has a journal about her bed shaking and stuff. I want to learn more. Michael

I had a Mypsace fan page devoted to Roddy McDowall for several years. It didn't matter that he was deceased and I specifically said it was a FAN PAGE on the page itself. I regularly got requests for autographs. I had to break the news of his death more than once. I finally added a "rest in peace" sign next to his avatar. It didn't help.

Not surprising.....I remember some girl sending me her personal photos of Gary Collins taken right after his DUI-car crash. She was there on the scene. She thought I was Gary Collins and wrote me saying that she was sorry about what happened, she felt bad for me. I wrote her back immediately and told her I wasn't Collins, though the pictures were cool. High quality pictures, first of Gary sitting on the curb with the police around and then handcuffed...that was sad. BTW, see my blog response to Donna, the owner of the TAPS Yahoo Forum. blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=283852928&blogID=408031011Hopefully I'm not breaking some list rule by posting a link to my blog....

That's what got me in trouble in the first place. These people can dish it out but they can't take it. Well, for the record, I've now been banned from TAPS +18. After Adwean disclosed my identity in the forum yesterday I threatened the Admin that I would take legal action. Once my identity was disclosed, there were at least five libelous claims against me made in the Auerbach thread, all of which are preserved in lovely screen shots. I'm told the thread was removed.

Ugh people are so stupid. And it seems like they all congregate (specifically) on the TAPS forum. Like one huge orgy of stupidity. When Britney Spears was in her hey-day I pretended to be her online. It was great fun. I dont believe its illegal to impersonate anyone as long as it isnt used for personal gain (which in your case it obviously isnt). I would say to all of them gently, (because mental people like them can get dangerous when theyre enraged) "they allow people in insane asylums internet access now?"..because obviously, thats where they all are currently located. Bellevue anyone?

Michael You have got to be kidding me You know the guy who's TAPS pics i post under the TAPS Fun thread? He used to post on skiffy. Some moron who had 3 posts under his belt decided to show off. Dummy me had a link to my Myspace page under my siggy. My friend is in my top friend's list, and he had personal info on his page which perhaps was a bit too detailed. Well, the jerk posted the guy's personal info on a thread he created, to show off that he could find such info and do it. He saw it as doing a community service. At that time, skiffy did not have mods like Tipi and Beez and it took me HOURS to get the thread removed. My friend had his skiffy account deleted. The jerk also threatened CaptainDingleberry / Zen, another friend of mine. I was so mad I called his bluff on that one. Cap is private to the point of paranoia and I am probably one of the few in the cyber world who knows much about him. And of course Jerk had nothing on him. Cap later deleted his account as well, and skiffy lost one of our greatest threads, which was TAPS artwork. I can't STAND people like that!!
