That's strange but hopefully this will get resolved. If he only has one poem, at least I will know him apart from you.

Joseph, I found him and he has just one poem, I asked him about the name and suggested he use his second name, that is if he is not a pretender using your name. Once when I was using Broken Wings, a lady joined and used the same name, people were commenting on her thinking they were commenting on me, it was so frustrating, I contacted her and she said "you don't own the name !" so I contacted soup and they told me same basically the same thing. Most sites will tell you that name is taken. But anyways she did not last long here, so problem solved. I would be very upset if another Constance La France showed up, I hope you get is sorted, blessings !

You are right Constance, most sites would not allow someeone to use the same name as someone who is already on the site, why Soup does it is beyond me. I think Admin will tell me they cant help me. Blessings

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Hopefully, it can be straightened out so that it is clear for everyone :)

I am hoping that it can be straightened out Heidi, this should never be allowed in the first place.

I had no idea that someone is impersonating you. I know your poetry Joseph, so whoever this is, they can't fool me. Hopefully, they'll disappear. Hugs, Brandy

I have contacted Admin Brandy, but not sure if they will do anything, and yes hopefully they will disappear, hugs

oh that's not good Joseph, to be honest I hadn't noticed them but its easy to assume when you glance at a name that is really is the person you thought. Unfortunately there are trolls lurking on soup, some can't keep away ... my stalker still turns up under various names. they are best ignored. hugs jan xx

At first glance it does look like me Jan, I dont know why someone is allowed to use a similar name to someone who is already here. I know that so much happens at soup that many dont know about. And yes many trolls are out there
