Why are people posting under names of famous people and trying to ruin people's reputations?

I do not believe that Rush! is trying to imposture Mr. Limbaugh.  Why do you assume that he is trying to take on the person's identity?  To my knowledge Rush! has never claimed to be the REAL Rush Limbaugh.  I do believe he is a fan of the REAL Rush, and therefore chooses to represent himself with the likeness of Mr. Limbaugh.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.  I don't believe he represents Mr. Limbaugh in any way by doing so.  Rush! represents himself, and himself only.

This is a statement of fact, NOT a question.  \n\nSome people don't have profiles or choose to keep them private.

I TOTALLY agree. People, I've learned, gossip (one of many reasons) because they do not have anything else in common with this person they are gossiping to so they have to bring YOUR name into some mess in order to form a bond with someone who would otherwise have nothing to do with their punk a**. (Yeah, that's right, I'm bitter lol)

They are so crude because this forum is anonymous. Nobody knows who you are, and therefore there is little accountability for one's actions. When people think they can say things and nobody knows who they are then they are more likely to be crude.

The whole fad started when some dead-souled celebrity magazine writer stopped doing blow in the bathroom long enough to coin the name "Brangelina." Celebrity gossip writers are herd animals by nature and soon *every* couple was seeing their names butchered and mashed into some syrupy-cute concatenation. It's idiotic, it's annoying, and if I ever find out who's responsible for starting the "baby bump" phrase I will punch that person's heart straight through their chest.

I don't think its technically illegal but it's not wise because you are violating someone else's privacy if you give out their full name.  I'm sorry you got in trouble and I don't think it's the school's place to correct an issue like this unless you did it while you were at school and in that case maybe the issue was more about using this type of website inappropriately. Either way, lesson learned, right? Don't use other people's names even if you're not saying something "bad" it still could be information they'd rather not have posted online.

Good point. Well, celebrities have big egos and they want to look good for the media. So, they make a big deal about these dinners,auctions,etc. for all to see. Plus, celebrities like hanging out with each other. They gossip and see who's been having screwing who and who's been anorexic and smoking crack. Yea, that's what they do.

to some degree, like with a family tragedy,then they should have privacy but overall if they didn't have exposure, they wouldn't have the fans, money and lifestyle they have got. people want to be famous cos they want "adoring" fans, they got into the job they did for a reason. i don't feel sorry for them at all, you get what you ask for in my opinion.

If you looked like them, you woulden't be yourself. It's sad that people wanna look like celebs. It's attention-seeking. Where's your self-esteem? Humans looking different than each other, makes us individuals.

Most people put information about themselves, things they find interesting or funny, or links to random stuff on their profiles. If you search for things to put there, it doesn't really have anything to do with you. Why pretend you are something that you are not?

Wow...ummm, how does this affect my life?  There are so many other things I could do with my time than worry about what a bunch of egotistical, attention craving "celebrities" say or do to one another.  Who cares?

i really dont think it's very nice of you to give out all this personal info about someone... it can be dangerous... I'd be pissed off if someone was looking for me and they displayed all this personal info. Be considerate! people are stealling people's i dentity everyday. You just possibly helped promote another theft... you should be ashamed

There are a few reasons why they might do this:\n\n1) Because they do not like their full name.\n2) Because they want to appear more professional.\n3) Because they do not want others to have difficult in pronouncing their name (I would certainly do that).\n4) Because they wish to abbreviate or shorten their name.

I have reported every question he has had on here. He is making a lot of people upset. Is this guy just nuts? Or is he trying to get attention? There is something seriously wrong there!!!\n\nHow do they ban him if he comes back with different names? I don't understand that part of Yahoo.
