We seem to have sorted out the link problems, so I'm deleting all of the nonessential posts (I'll leave this one up).

A sad miserable nutter... you have to wonder why someone would go to that much trouble. Seems the woman whose account was faked was just as much a target.

This is sick, I thought the twitter clampdown was going to clean things up. I guess I should return to being a pessimist
