A random google threw up a Twitter feed as McMoonter linking to threads on here. I never set it up and have never used or read a thread on Twitter. It seems George Clarke is a follower. I'm not sure what to make of it.

All the hallmarks of someone that gives this place a [i]little[/i] too much importance in life. Ignore & move on; clearly a tool.
Sincerest form of flattery, apparently. 😀
That's really odd.
A random Google...
Yes, of course...

I tried to check a newly opened instagram account using google and this Twitter feed appeared.
That's some next level bitching - 3 years old as well 😆
Wow, that is proper odd behaviour. Weird enough to do it in the first place but to keep it up for 3 years is plain creepy.
Reminds me of STW argue, quite a lot tbh.
Clearly not McMoonter.
Looks like an automated account set up by a web bot, no human content and only posts when you create a thread.
I clicked the link and thought it a little funny if weird. Scrolled down and saw how long it had been going and, well, its either automated or updated by a bit of a basket case.
Awwwww, that's got Fred written all over it. Miss the little sociopathic narcissist. <waves> Hi Fred! (He's bound to be watching)
Yeah. I have a farcebook account set up. Not by me. Probably one of my farcebook loving mates knowing my email address.
Every week I get several 'friend requests' in my inbox. Some from my mates (regular repeaters) some from folk I know thru work, others are complete strangers.
All get ignored and deleted.
How very odd.
Who was Fred again?
Yeah that is a bit weird
Jeez, that's creepy!
Yes ,creepy is the word.
To get all "midsomer murder" on you,it's probably someone you know!!!
I think I'd be a tad freaked out by that 😯
People are strange.
You can report it, not sure what will happen though:

Double bluff to get more clicks on the page I reckon.
Well played McMoonter
I've reported the feed to Twitter under their impersonation policy.
Thankfully and predictably there seems to have been very little traffic relating to the feed, that in itself bemuses me as to why its creator would persist in its continuation.
I find STW a great resource and a hugely supportive and enthusiastic community. Whenever I've posted or read anything on here it astonishes and amuses me in equal measure how diverse and compassionate a random group of cyclists can be.
To whoever has taken it upon themselves to maliciously impersonate me, my email address is still in my profile. I'd be interested to listen to why you feel the need undertake this action. My life has been as challenging as anyone's on here.
Great attitude McMoonter. Keep it alive. It's an odd world this STW.
That's deeply creepy. Unpleasant, too.
It does rather have the hallmarks of a thankfully former member of this parish. Nasty.
Wow, that's concerning on a couple of levels.
Did you have any beef with he who must not be named before his excommunication?
creepy...weird...odd...strange...unpleasant
Yup, it's got to be. He's like a forum ghost
Mmmm, starts a thread about someone self publicising, mmm.
Not really, someone with a big problem. Bigger than having more timber than most arborists would know what to do with.
Very odd but there are some right weirdos out there. Surfmatt once of this parish has been stalked by a few people and it is still going on. Stupid sod is convinced its me as we have had quite a few barneys on SSB. Truth is he has behaved so weirdly on so many different forums it could be anyone.
Mcmoonter hope you get it sorted out.
Wow, that's concerning on a couple of levels.Did you have any beef with he who must not be named before his excommunication?
I've never met him, if it is who has been suggested above, I only ever contributed to one or two of the architectural threads he started.
How very odd.
How very odd.
Judging by the comments on each post it doesn't seem to be automated and reading the sub-text it seems to be someone that thinks you are a bit of a show off for "flaunting" your wood and fiefdom.
Not something I've ever thought myself. Personally I enjoy your contributions and I've always thought you were fairly matter-of-fact about it all - not showy at all. So in that mind I'd put it down to simple resentment and jealousy.
Who was 'eyepic'? I reckon it's them.
Let me know when they Lynch mob is forming, I've just sharpened my pitch fork....
Same as GrahamS, Just envy possibly?. Report it and please (genuinely) carry on as normal, don't let it stop you contributing, you're one of the more interesting posters on here, timber, travel and other tales.
There are some odd folks in this world.
Meh.
Move on.
Please don't let it stop you. I'm happy to read your contributions, even if I'm consumed by jealous envy at your firewood mountains.
That is bizarre. That must be one sadsack to get that wound up about the interesting stuff you post up here.

For the record. I don't live an especially flamboyant, frivolous or privileged life. I never have. I have lived and worked as an artist since I left art college. I enjoy creative projects, by posting their outcomes on here my hope is that they may inspire, in the way that I am inspired by those which others undertake. You'll never see me post something that hasn't been a challenge to create, financially, technically or physically. Many would never have succeeded were it not from the input received on here. I will equally applaud those that share their projects too.
I've sought and shared advice on mental and physical illness, Those inputs have been the most valuable.
When I start a what Lamborghini to get to my pad in the Riviera thread, I'd feel this type of persecution was justified. But when I'm welding up the sills of my twenty year old Discovery so I can reclaim some fallen timber to heat my home and studio I feel it's a little unjustified.
My life so far hasn't been at all easy and it's future is as uncertain as the next mans.
I think I probably speak for many others when I say this but there's absolutely no need for you to justify your posts on here and you don't come across as a "show-off" in any way, shape or form.
The author of that Twitter account is the one with the issues.
Good luck dealing with this...I'd be really pissed off if it happened to me.
There again...having a doppelganger might be useful!!!!!
That's pretty disturbing! ❗
Bregante +1
Bregante +1
that's properly weird.
WHat he said your posts and threads are very enjoyable and something I look forward to.
Dont be deterred from posting on here due to this as I for one would miss your posts, unlike the coach 😛
Wow. Whoever is behind it is properly bitter and twisted. Best not leave any fava beans or chianti in the fridge!
If it was/ is Fred, then he'll be spaffing his little pants over all the attention..
Then, like normal, he'll just go back to arguing with TeeJ on Facebook.
McMoonter - you're one of the good guys - hope Facebook can give you a hint who set that up - it's a bit weird.
GrahamS

He owns Fife, not fief FFS
he'll just go back to arguing with TeeJ on Facebook
joking, right?
not he dislikes them both massively so he always says think like this on threads about stuff like this.
What a sad little cretin.
Someone once set up a Facebook group in celebration of me. I thought it was pretty sad (funny sad) that someone who had never met me would think that I'd be bothered if they judged me. I suggest you take the same approach, fart in their general direction and dont give it another thought.
Woah, dude, that sucks. 😯
Just chiming in on the woah, dude!... You have to be one of the least offensive users of this site. I mean, at a push it'd be understandable with some of the more pissy members - at a push - but not from MMs contributions.
Methinks someone has a small amount of wood...
I'll also add that the internet, much like driving a car, seems to bring out the worst (and weirdest) of human nature. I thought I knew a guy reasonably well until a little internet "accident" revealed a disturbingly two-faced shady aspect to their character which slowly unravelled some very weird shit.
Tread carefully...
Your threads have given me inspiration and encouragement, please don't let it put you off contributing here in the future!
OP,
Not me. I don't have time to waste.
Also I don't use mYFaceBook nor Tweddle or whatever ...
Have you offended someone badly somewhere?
Have you slept with some chicks that you are not supposed to?
Have you stepped on someone's toe at your place of work?
😯

Reporting for push duty!

That's very odd. A bitter and twisted person with far to much time on their hands. Difficult to ignore and hard to not think 'why me' but I've found mcmoonter to be one of the least offensive posters on this site so can't understand what would fuel such strange behaviour.
There some strange people around!
definitely weird that.
think if it was me id like to know who it was so i could 'out' them for being the sad loser that they are. definitely not automated, thats just one weird bunny.
id be having a word in a few techy ears tho, see if you can find out where they were sent from, and even involve the police (if a crime has actually been committed). id have thought itd be possible to find this info, as to start an account theyd have to have had a 'confirmation click here to complete set-up' type email. surely the right people can find out who has that address?
id be right into miss marple mode i think 😀
but..... at the end of the day if i had no success i wouldnt lose sleep over it.
Involve the police? For someone impersonating you on Twitter, that's just silly.
yeah, thinking about it, it probably is. its early
EDIT: thought about a ninja edit, but decided to accept the ridicule 😀
bregante + loads.
You posts are always interesting to read Pete and you come across as a decent bloke. The twitter troll is the one with the issues.
THis is mondo weird!
The only explanation I can think of is that our evil alien overlords have started to impersonate STW'ers prior to replacing them with evil clones.....or summink. Makes you think, eh?
Has anyone noticed any huge mysterious vegetables in their gardens recently?

ALL YOUR WOODSHED ARE BELONG TO US!
On the plus side all the greats have a stalker, handle this correctly and you could double the sale value of your artwork.
More seriously though, try and get it closed down but beyond that forget about it, you've done nothing wrong, I don't think I've seen anything in your posting history that was ever malicious, argumentative or boastful. So although it's no doubt a bit unsettling to have been singled out forget it, some people have too much time on their hands and are just bitter with the world.
There is one current STW forum user with some "form" in this regard but lack of evidence and all that....
How random! McMoonter I always enjoy your threads on STW and think you add to the forum. I also cant remember you arguing with anyone on here, so it does seem a bit random! Please do keep posting.
And its not Fred btw 🙂

I see your point...
am i missing something - just tried the original link and it doesnt exist - have they taken it down already?
edit: nope, just me being stoopid.
A sad jealous type for sure ... met people along the way who are never happy with their own lot in life and live consumed by the green eyed monster, it makes for a sad lonely individual usually. Hope you manage to get it removed.
Probably a man-crush.
You'll just have to wait for the next thread asking for help with an RSI type injury. Now they know they've been busted the fapping will be utterly frantic.
V strange indeed
McM - I'll continue the plaudits. Your posts are always worth reading and not all ostentatious, pretentious or aloof. It must be a weird, upsetting experience but don't let this sad individual get you down. Life's too short.
I think we need to see a picture of your Holz Hausen(s) as it is Autumn and we need more joy on the forum!
OMG.
Someone's done me too! [url= https://twitter.com/no_eyed_deer ]twitter.com/no_eyed_deer[/url]
..Okay, well maybe not quite in the same sociopathic stalker way.
Can't find it now, just get an error page ❓
I didn't see the twitter link as it looks like it's been sorted now, but I am often inspired by your threads Mcmoonter, and like your outlook on life that they give across.
Keep it up. 🙂
You think thats wierd, I've got a stalker and a hastag!

Stalker
https://twitter.com/MTB365/status/95840818253930496?s=17
I wrote to Twitter, they responded with an email early this morning asking for some confirmation of my ID. I've forwarded my details, but it seems the stream has already been closed.
Hopefully that will be an end to it.
Thanks for the support folks.
Been reading this with some interest, as I'm amazed anyone could get bent out of shape by mcm's posts on here, they really have to be a tragically sad individual with zero life. I avoided checking out the link, I didn't want to give them any additional hits, which might just encourage the no-life sad-sack.
There is, somewhere, a Twitter user with countzero as a user name, as I found out when I first tried to set up an account some years ago, but that's more to do with the source material than some wierdo virtual stalker. 😀
