Hijacking of user name!!

Please note everyone that the newly minted user name ladyjane10 is nothing to do with me and I have complained to GNHQ about what feels like a fairly deliberate hijacking of my user name.
I know others have had similar concerns.
As an afterthought, could it be the return of one of our recent defectors?

Before I changed my name, and before Jalima changed hers, we were always being mixed up by posters, poor old Jalima always got flak meant for me! grin

Jalima1108 Mon 16-Apr-18 22:15:14

That's fine then!

Jane10 Mon 16-Apr-18 17:02:23

It's a nice name and she likes it too.

Jalima1108 Mon 16-Apr-18 16:28:06

Is that wise? hmm

Jane10 Mon 16-Apr-18 09:07:03

Hounded v feeling denigrated?
We have had an exchange of PMs and discussed various things. She's going to try to be changed to LadyJaneGrey. I hope GN permits this.

Yes and she certainly has been hounded how awful.

Baggs Mon 16-Apr-18 05:31:30

She could always come back as Hounded.

ladyjane10 has just posted elsewhere (Syria)
Plus ça change...........

MawBroon Sun 15-Apr-18 23:22:03

That’s a bit of an over-reaction, Jane10, especially for a laydee.

Yes Lady blue belle

BlueBelle Sun 15-Apr-18 23:07:41

Why not Ladyjane or LadyJane or even Lady Jane just drop the 10 hope she doesn’t go,
thinking if it was me as a newbie I d just be so apologetic and change immediately wouldn’t you ?

Jalima1108 Sun 15-Apr-18 22:59:41

Jane10 oh dear!
let's hope she reconsiders and comes back with another name.

Menopaws Sun 15-Apr-18 22:54:29

As names go and more people join there are bound to be similarities, I don't remember reading threads before I joined so didn't see any other names. Easy to just explain to all and change your name and remain part of a good group rather than lose the chance to make friends.

Chewbacca Sun 15-Apr-18 22:22:35

That's a shame Jane10. As you say, there isn't any need for LadyJane10 not to post again. Maybe she'll reconsider in a little while. Hope so anyway.

Jane10 Sun 15-Apr-18 20:47:55

ladyjane10 has replied to my PM. She has said that she won't post again. I told her that there's no need to withdraw but to consider another user name. She did point out to me that at least she's a lady. Nice.

kittylester Sun 15-Apr-18 12:26:34

Don't not dint!

kittylester Sun 15-Apr-18 12:26:02

Please dint jane I'm confused enough! grin

Jane10 Sun 15-Apr-18 11:44:44

I may leave and return as therealJane10, or maybe HRHJane10!

janeainsworth Sun 15-Apr-18 11:27:31

bluebelle There was a certain poster whose departure was much lamented, who had at least 10 different usernames shock

Baggs Sun 15-Apr-18 11:12:20

I noticed that about the chronic illness and pain too, mdoll.

Marydoll Sun 15-Apr-18 11:09:51

According to a post I saw recently, LadyJane is in poor health and has a lot of pain. Perhaps she just isn't well enough to post frequently and isn't aware of your existence Jane.

Baggs Sun 15-Apr-18 11:08:09

are you suggesting people leave and return ten times

I'm suggesting it's possible, that's all.

Baggs Sun 15-Apr-18 11:05:19

Why does the not like a newbie bit matter?
