]More seriously, hijacking a username is all about context. The spelling WAS messed with, but that's irrelevant. The context is, faux reply by faux Orchid Landguy was in reference to a post about Orchidlandguy of Punaweb. Specifically named. Setting up a fake dialogue that people here might well think Orchidlandguy participated in.
Similarly, the impersonation of my name included references to my personal address, my specific family members, specific posts that I had made on a Big Island forum -- but then a bunch of stuff was posted that I would never say.
That's where the context part comes in that takes it to the level of impersonation.
I'm not trying to perpetuate drama, but it's not about how many thousand variants of the name exist if one googles. It's about the details that are associated with one person who posts on a specific site.
All Orchidlandguy is trying to do here is say, hey, FYI, someone is pretending to be me, and it isn't me.
