Re: internet screen name theft

Maybe I don't see the big deal, it is just a screen name.

If the individual was using your first and last name fraudulently I'd understand.

This is the internet, you've created a screen name to mask your real identity, this new identity does not automatically become yours on every site.

Just let it go, maybe make a new one if it really bothers you that much. Is this person impersonating you? Or are they just trying to mask their true identity like you are?

How do you know that you had the screen name first? Maybe the accounts were dormant and the google spiders just now discovered them. Maybe you are in fact the "thief" in this situation. Look at it from other perspectives.

Why is it so important, that in a virtual world someone else has your fake name? There maybe people in the real world who share your name, these people have no control over such name seeing as how it was given to them at birth.

Do yourself a favor, step away from the computer, go outside, sit in some grass and appreciate who you are away from the virtual world. Forget that someone "stole" your "screen name" and appreciate all that there is away from the computers.
