Chatterbox: Down to Earth

You may have

You may have seen the thread by "Mango" in which "Mango" steals my name. Also she has stolen my real name, Sidney. I was shocked when I saw a thread under my name, so I investigated and saw that "Mango", now called M, was admitting to not really being Mango (aka me). She also said that she had been saying that her name was Sidney (my real name). Now people are saying that it's okay, keep being Mango, it's just a pen name. It's not just a pen name, it was MY pen name, and I would appreciate any help in getting it back.

back to the Down to Earth

Mango, I am sorry your name has been "stolen". I would love to help you get it back. Admin what do you think about this?
P.S. Mango sorry I haven't been on my laptop broke

 

There's really nothing we can do, Kirsten. I'm sure the other Mango will get tired of posting under someone else's name very shortly. Mango, why don't you come up with a way of distinguishing yourself from the other Mango? (Like Mango #1 or something.)

 I know this is frustrating for you, but thanks for being nice about it!

Admin you are very useful!  Mango I think admin's idea is good.  Maybe put a cool symbol after your name.

My spam code says PRAY!!!  Very funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, she didn't admit to saying her real name is Sidney, did she? Well, I guess I just didn't see it. But anyway: I don't think there's any reason to be angry anymore; I, at least have forgiven her. However, I don't know why people are saying she should still be Mango. It should be your decision, not theirs (sorry, no offense everybuggy, but really)! Have you told her you don't want her being Mango? I guess I'll go read the threads...

Okay. I read the thread. I don't think she realized it was your penname when she first took it. And when you told her you were Mango, and she insisted on going by it anyway, stating it was her real name, that was wrong, but she apologized, and I've forgive0n her. Of course she shouldn't go by Mango anymore, but she doesn't! She's M now! And she never did go by Sidney. She said her middle name was Sidny, pronounced SIDEny. Yes, that resembles your name, but she doesn't go by that either, so what does it matter? You have a right to be angry, of course, but I think the time for that is over. She apologized! There's no need!

She apologized to the general public. She did not apologize directly to me. All she said was that neither Mango nor Sidney was her name. She did not say to me, "I'm sorry for stealing both your names", or anything like that. That's what I would like. All I'm saying is that I want an apology from M. That's all. And I also would like people to stop encouraging M's use of my name on M's thread.

...And I think M pretty much left, so you can probably stop worrying.
