What's going on in here? This looks very weird. False accounts? Multiple accounts with the same name? What's happening?

Welcome to the MacNN forums. Welcome to the crazy thread. Care to join in on the discussion? I was just pointing out that someone keeps creating duplicates of my user names. I wish they'd stop. I've talked to a mod about it! Have you used forums before?

To play in this thread, you need to register a dupe account and make fun of the OP.

Everything else is just lame

Give me 100 reasons why I should continue posting on this thread, and 1,000 reasons why I should not contact a mod!

Besides, would you like it if someone made a duplicate of your account? Give me 5 reasons why or why not!

This is mandatory. If not met by tonight I will leave this thread and ask a mod/admin to lock it!

I can only say that everyone excluding mods (whatever they are) and admins (whatever they are) should leave the thread alone. How would you like it if someone made a dupe joke of you? I bet you wouldn't like it at all!

Valid point. Let's see, has anyone banned the dupe iPod Nano yet?
This refer's to Microsoft's post.

Those last two posts lead me to now believe that both cwkmacuser and Microsoft Hater are in fact besson3c.

(Naturally, the minute I make a post referencing “the last two posts”, someone [technically, some two] have to make two new posts. So make that the two posts before the last two posts before mine.)

Maybe the mods are tired of your whining ?

Besides, I already said, stop posting, or I report you for lack of humor.

I've barley whined. The mods won't do anything if I don't have a sense of humor. However, I don't appreciate false duplicates of my accounts.

I was the first owner of iPod Nano and cwkmacuser.

Someone else also belongs to me!

So there's the hidden motif in creating this thread.

I agree. There's nothing good here to talk about anymore. It's loosing it's consistency. In fact, this thread is no longer about multiple user accounts. It's just jibber jabber!

Can we break out the angry apostrophe flower yet, then? Is there an angry loose/lose flower?

cwk (the real one) -
It's completely disingenuous to send me PMs to complain about other usernames emulating you or your own fake ones, create yet another username to sockpuppet with and to continue the thread, and then not exhibit any sort of patience or tolerance if any of it blows back. And it's a waste of my time.
