Good point Phil. Now lets examine your complaint. I will presume you are acting in good faith, for the sake of analysis.
Fact 1. SOMEBODY posted under your name on a different board.
FACT 2. We don't know yet who that somebody is.
Fact 3. This example is almost the same as Phil707's complaint on Chesschat.
Fact 4. There has already been moral outrage directed towards Ozchess about this incident on Chesschat.
Question? Is it morally and ethically consistent for people on Chesschat to attack Phil707 and defend your disappointment with a post here Phil?
I think not.

Perhaps it would be an interesting exercise to investigate the ISP used to post the original! May reveal more than we like about the person behind this cowardly act.
You may be right, but this incident is still independently interesting. The person responsible may have been conducting an intellectual challenge. I hope that if they apologise you won't think to bad of them.

I don't agree with this statement. I don't think the administrators have done anything wrong. They took the registration in good faith. But I do hope they resolve the conflicting situation in a way that satisfies you.
