Retro Guy: please take a look at this for me

[George J. (George J. Dance)]

My name is George Dance, and I post over on rec.arts.poems and
alt.arts.poetry.comments. I'm posting to you here in the hope that I can
avoid a flame war over it.
aapc has recently acquired a troll who used the name "NancyGene". While
I can handle normal trolling, I've found some of her behavior OTT. In
this case, she has started to forge me - I don't mean impersonate me on
Usenet, but write "poetry" and sign my name to it. The poetry is "found
poetry" consisting of comments they've found by me on the group. I find
this way out of line, and if it were my group I'd have kicked her off
already. But since it's not my group, I'm just asking you to review this
and make your own decision about whether you should do something, and
what.

I'm not sure if Retro Guy reads on alt.poetry.

I know I haven't been here in over a decade, except when crossposted.

I see Retro Guy has responded on the actual forged post, perhaps this
would be better reposted there?

Good questions about Nova BBS policy wed all like to know, thanks
George, and Retro Guy.

While it's irritating to have things attributed to you, this is
something that is part of online discussion forums, unfortunate as that
may be.

The astute reader should be able to determine, by never being pointed to
the actual post that the person is saying you posted, that it may not be
true.

NovaBBS also provides the feature to block users. Click on their name
while logged in and you can see how to do that.

Banning such users would require the admin to read and know everything
going on in every group, and that is not going to happen. It's better to
just ignore who a user sees as a troll.

Well put, the old "skip and ignore" policy is effective in the living
run.

Thank you for the reply and the explanation. It makes sense to me.

I'll have to figure out the best course of action for me to take.

Tit for Tat, I suppose.
