Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but you definitely are NOT The Real Slim Shady!

Hmm, 5 minutes reviewing TRSS's previous posts do show a definite 'change in language and attitude' over the last few epistles.
Mod's. Could it be possible?
Is a TRSS2 lurking out there?
If that's the case and identity theft is possible, may I deny all knowledge on my posts 2. 12, 19. 22. 26, 31, 63, (big gap there, what happened?) 74, 92, ( Ah 92, the barman let us stay after time).
But seriously, in this scenario, imitation is a form of flattery, impersonation is a crime.

Not at all.
Some latent homo with absolutely no imagination has registered on e - goat using my handle and location: now whatever this muppet posts may be cross referenced and attributed to me.
I wouldn't you lot to think I had gone soft on you hence have asked Wobbly to de-register the thief.

1943 or 44 over Germany.... carrot-stuffed night-fighter pilot trying to sort out whch voice is the real controller and which is the RAF "ghost" transmitting from Rugby...
Ghost: Follow orders to Beacon KX, you
!
Luftwaffe controller: The Englishman is swearing.
Ghost: IT IS NOT THE ENGLISHMAN WHO IS SWEARING, IT IS ME!

RAF West Kingsdown, where Operation 'Corona' was carried out is in Kent. Nowhere near Rugby. Plus it wasn't done just from the ground either, ABC (AirBorne Cigar) system fitted to Liberators and Fortresses of 100 Group, and 101 Sqn Lancasters did the same role.

As I don't know the first thing about UAVs and have no interest in the Army site I can assure you that it is definitely NOT The Real Slim Shady.
Of course having registered my distaste here, and emailed the forum owners asking that the individual be de - registeredthe problem now lies with them if a legal challenge arises.

if a legal challenge arises
So what legal threat are you referring to ? Fake Identity Fraud ?
Plus, how would there be any comeback on you personally ? How would TRSS be tracked down and brought to justice over remarks made on an anonymous forum ?

I've had another look at Arrse (I didn't think it would actually be you TRSS).
The person doing seems to be cutting and pasting posts verbatim from here over on Arrse, using the same username. Minigundiplomat's opening post on asthma has been reproduced word-for-word over there, with the addition of a few words at the end of the last sentence.
Roush's opening post on the latest UAV developments has appeared without any alteration, and the same thing has happened with You Sir, Name!'s post about the advice proferred by Moneysavingexpert.com, and - yet again - your imposter has plagiarised, word for word, Died Trying's post about Russian missile defence.
FFP is correct, since I don't think you can claim ownership of the name on other forums, even if the poster elswhere is trying to pretend that he/she is you. However, since it would appear that the fake Slim is nothing more than a plagiarising troll, they might welcome this being pointed out - not least since this could be a classic 'start with apparently sensible posts and then become uncontrollable troll' profile being established at your expense...
Edit - Mac, with respect, it does have a connection - TRSS (military) is concerned that someone has taken on his identity on more than one military website. If TRSS's real identity is known to some people, a sudden burst of trolling that appears to come from him, it might have consequences for his reputation amongst his peers.

I've had an email from Rob, the ArRSE site owner, and explained to him almost exactly what you said Archimedes.
As the postings were highlighted here, on more than 1 thread, by other users my concern is that the innocent could give way to expressions of opinion which, by implication, are attributed to me.
My suggestion to Rob, and I will write again to wobbly, e-goat owner, is that, for the avoidance of doubt, an appropriate compromise may be to change the culprit's user name to "Not The Real Slim Shady".
Rob has just replied to me to inform me that the registration has been suspended.

Gentlemen please, lets put this into perspective a little. This is an aviation forum where people come to chat about aircraft. We are not talking about tarnishing the reputation on the US Presidential election candidates.
Archemedies, TRSS did have a sudden outburst last week. We all saw what he thinks about those currently serving in the Royal Air Force. He has managed to tarnish his own reputation on here all by himself. Please can we stop this little hissey fit and get back to the proper business of PPRuNe.
TRSS as is the normal expression in the RAF now, man up wet pants and stop bleating like a girl. Oh I also forgot dry your eyes Princess.
