[rushthatspeaks]

A note, since I've been getting some questions about it:

Places I use the username Rushthatspeaks (Rush-That-Speaks) on the internet: Livejournal, Dreamwidth, tor.com, Flickr, AO3.

Places I do not: Tumblr, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, like Instagram or what have you, anything I haven't previously mentioned.

Anyone who is using Rushthatspeaks any of the places I don't is, you know, a different person from me. I mention this because every so often I self-Google my username to see whether I can link my legal name to my journal, and this time on the first page of results there was a Youtube account sharing my username, which appears to be a troll. And said troll comes up several times in the first few pages of results. And is apparently a pretty nasty troll.

TROLL = NOT ME.

I do not in fact have accounts on any of the places I've mentioned not using my username. If I ever get a Youtube or Tumblr or something, I'll need a different username, because mine is taken, and I'll let people know when/if that happens. I have never commented on Youtube in my life.

*sigh* I am sad to share name with a troll, but I will take comfort from having actually gotten permission from John Crowley to use the name.

Anyway, I wanted to make that very clear, especially because it's entirely likely that whoever has the username at tumblr is yet a third party from either the troll or myself.

You have my sympathies. *hug* that does sound awful; I have run into the odd bit of hostility which appears to be directed at one of the small handful of people sharing my firstname/surname combination who appears to be not good people, and it always makes me shudder.

Is your gmail working ? I have a thing to send you that I think you might enjoy.
