I say it's a weird-ass name and it's not a coincidence.
I would recommend sending an email giving the reason for the deletion. (I don't know if this is already standard procedure?) Someday we could well have a genuine coincidence, after all.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

perkins - you forgot to close the font tag, which caused the post(s) below it to also be white-fonted! I fixed it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'll do it. Gimme a sec to make something up.

No, I say delete him right away.
Utterly. He's totally validating his banning. And we let him have his say as mmmieskie.
If someone has issues with me and they post it in something I don't read, then it's like talking about me behind my back and yet not.
Yeah... one time I changed all my subscriptions and searched for my name in the threads I don't read, just out of paranoia. This here isn't gossipy talk, however, it's discipline talk. I felt kind of bad that we were talking about Deena in here and then she read it, but it was a fair discussion. Complaining in Natter about people who post here might be a bad precedent for gossip, however.

I dislike to an incredible degree the idea of deactivating someone before we've heard one peep from him/her/it. I'm in favor of waiting for them to show wolf snout under sheep's clothing, but let's not shoot the sheep before we've seen the fangs.

OK so they get one post, and if it's obvious from that one post they're the old mieskie, then we can delete?

connie - I expect that ita's email will be worded in such a way that if it's not the same guy, he can just select another, less confusing, username.

Gah. I've changed my mind. Let /mieskie post. Let's see how it turns out, and we'll inactivate as content dictates.

Someone should tell him outright that we see him trying to do it and we want him to stop.
If this is the same individual, I'm sure that being seen/noticed is very much a part of the intent.

Someone watch the Firefly thread then, I guess?
