There was a story on TAL about someone like that. It had to do with Rent message boards and the cast and stuff. Very interesting, but I can't remember the name of the show now.
I think it was the one about liars or pretenders. IIRC one of the other pieces was on a guy who pretended to have an English accent, another to be vegetarian?
There's also the infamous case of Kaycee Nicole, last year.
(edit: sorry!!!! Natter!!!)
You call that a stompy foot? You call that stomping?
Yeesh, what are you, Miss Manners with a whip?

Yes.
Now please take that natter to the proper location, and remember to use the correct fork.
Oh! I want that for my tag line!
(askye, if you want it, it's yours)
Natter? Who, me?
Wow. I was too busy at work last week to comment while the troll discussion was going on (plus, I don't read the Firefly board), but I just wanted to say I love the way you guys handled it, and think you set a great precedent for the future.
I'm in the slightly-bothered-by-the-idea-of chibi!lizard camp, I guess. This just doesn't seem like a place where I'd want my future theoretical 10-year-old to read, with or without an exceptionally mature big sister by her side. But I guess that's a decision for Mama Lizard to make, and I'll respond to Rebecca's sister as I would to any other poster -- based on her words, not her age. (As a side note, tho, what's interesting is that 10 bothers me in a way 12 or 13 wouldn't, I guess because 10 is still a doll-playing, Crayola age in my mind.)
