impersonator?

Based on the hate mail that's currently pouring into my inbox, someone has impersonated me on a Rodney Dangerfield website and said some pretty horrible things.

I don't have any details, but I want to get this out RIGHT NOW: I thought Rodney Dangerfield was a brilliant comic, loved his work (especially in Caddyshack) and I mourn his passing along with everyone else.

If someone could let me know exactly what it is I'm alleged to have said, I'd like to know so I can take a crowbar and a blowtorch to find out who did this and clear it up.

Gnomedex report is almost done, and should be up in about two hours.

Update: Found it. In the guestbook on Rodney Dangerfield's official website, someone posted an absolutely disgusting comment under my name. I won't reprint it here, but if you want to see, follow the link.

Jesus Christ, man. Some people are so fucking stupid, it's beyond words.

(Thanks to WWdN reader Brian who found the link.)

Why do people suck so bad? No one has better things to do than impersonate those who actually give a shit and spread rumors... whopper head's !

Posted by: rob at October 6, 2004 01:36 PM

oh wow.. I don't know what was said wil..but that is just a horrible thing for someone to do..

I am going to miss Rodney too.. he was comic genius.
I hope you get to the bottom of this ASAP!

What a horrible thing to do to someone. That impersonator is trying to ruin your creditability and hurt the people who loved Rodney and are in enough pain right now. This so-called person probably thinks kicking puppies is fun too. Good luck in finding out who did this. We're behind you all the way.

In a random search on Rodney and Wil I came up with this weirdness:

"I'm going with three picks for the pool: Darrin McGavin due to the stroke, Wil Wheaton for the rehab, and for sheer randomness I'm going with Peter MacNichol."

From this thread on the link posted in the dandy URL field.

Posted by: Elise at October 6, 2004 01:41 PM

So did you find the posting at www.rodney.com? Looks like someone using a hotmail address made a posting (it was on page 4 when I saw it).

Posted by: Jennifer at October 6, 2004 01:43 PM

What a horrible thing to do! I'm sorry for you and for Rodney Dangerfield's family, friends, and fans that this has happened.

Posted by: Trista at October 6, 2004 01:44 PM

And the sad part is people will actually believe Wil wrote that. What's to stop anyone from posting as Madonna or the Pope, common' people. *shaking head at the sad state of intelligence that presents itself on the web*

Posted by: Elise at October 6, 2004 01:50 PM

found it..
this is what it said.
"Thank you, God. For finally bringing judgement and wrath on this horrible human being. I just wish it could have been due to AIDS or cancer."

Very uncool.. and yes it was the guy using the hotmail acct.

Posted by: neph at October 6, 2004 01:51 PM

Wil, page 6 on rodney.com shows what was said by the imposter. I know you didnt say those things. Dont worry, that guy wil be caught.

Posted by: Kris at October 6, 2004 01:52 PM

I'm not sure it's worth your time or effort, but what this person did is about 6 shades of illegal and not nearly as untraceable as they probably think it is....

Posted by: Erik at October 6, 2004 01:54 PM

Some people are so lame!!! What an ugly thing to write, first of all and then to pose as someone else.
bad juju!!!

Moving On...
YAY! I can't wait for Gnomedex!

Posted by: Louise at October 6, 2004 01:55 PM

Do people really not have better things to do with there time than to mock a brilliant comics passing while dragging you in it? I can find some things for them to do that are worthwhile. However I don't think this person is fit enough to scrap the mold off a prison wall with their tongue. Sorry this has to happen to you Wil!

Posted by: Stacey at October 6, 2004 01:55 PM

Dam, I like to stir things up, but that's just totally not kosher. Hope you catch the asswipe.

Miss you Rodney.

I've only been reading your blog for a few months now. And, I don't know you personally, but I would never believe that you would post something like this. You seem to be a real nice guy.....and one of the only genuine and down-to-earth people left in LA.

Posted by: jordan at October 6, 2004 01:56 PM

I've been taking a moment to savor the irony that the a-hole who made those comments also posted WWdN as a URL, directing everyone here where they can plainly see that you're not responsible for such depravity.
One look around and they'll know the truth.

It reminds me of Dick Cheney referencing factcheck.com last night in the debates. He meant factcheck.org- take a look and you'll see why mentioning ".com" was such a colossal error of judgement.

Posted by: Adam at October 6, 2004 02:01 PM

This is my first visit to willwheaton.net, so I hope I am posting in the right place. (Trying to be carefull not to stick things where they don't belong) I just read Mr. Wheaton's book, "Just a Geek". I found it interesting to hear about the day to day struggle of the modern actor. I also laughed out loud while reading the book and that hasn't happend for a long time. The book was fun to read.
I hope you find the impersonator and put an end to him/her before he/she can breed.

Posted by: Jeremy at October 6, 2004 02:02 PM

Wow! So lame!
Someone needs a hobby.
and some people need to like, not believe everything they read on the internet.

For example, I'm not actually George Bush.

Posted by: George Bush at October 6, 2004 02:04 PM

Wil, I've got the thumbscrews, rack, a hungry rat, and bamboo for under the fingernails standing by in case you find this guy...

Posted by: Chris the Tiki Guy at October 6, 2004 02:09 PM

Hey Wil,
I just scrolled through Rodney's website and I am really bothered by the ingnorance.
I truly feel you're not capable of feeling anything so ugly and DO NOT feel any of those horrible words are believed by us.
Ummm... I'm not so sure why such things are written. I have no clue what would bring an indivdual to write words of hate instead of words of empowerment on such a day of sorrow.
.. block this one out, man!!!

Posted by: Louise at October 6, 2004 02:12 PM

My condolences. I'm afraid the only brush with impersonation I've had is when I panicked because kilbia@hotmail.com was already taken...and it turned out I'd already taken it and forgotten about it.

I wish I could condemn the impersonator more vehemently, but I remember fifteen years ago when I read a satirical piece in a teen magazine about Wil Wheaton losing his memory (as evidenced by the fact that he couldn't correctly answer any of the quizzes about him in competing teen magazines) and I totally fell for it because I didn't get the concept of satire yet.

Posted by: Kilbia at October 6, 2004 02:13 PM

I can't believe that people would actually think that anyone even remotely famous would post something like that under their actual name. Someone must have thought "Finally! Now I can make that Wesley Crusher pay!" Way to go, jerkface.

Also: I'm totally not Larry Flynt, the smutpeddler who cares. However, I might be Stephen Hawking!

Posted by: Larry Flynt at October 6, 2004 02:15 PM

The sad thing is that someone actually believed the post was genuine...like it would really come from a hotmail address.

While you're at it, take a crowbar to the skull of whoever posted this: (Probably posted by the originator)

To late Wil...
10/6/2004 3:55:58 PM
Damage is done..scroll down to see what Wil Wheaton (Star Trek and Stand By Me)ACTUALLY wrote about Rodney...how truly sad...

Posted by: Craig at October 6, 2004 02:16 PM

It's very sad that some troll thought that might be funny. He has my sympathy, and I hope they get the help they need.

Wil: Just got round to reading JAG - wow. Glad you've found your niche in life, such a shame there's jerks out there who still think you're Wesley.

Posted by: Scaryduck at October 6, 2004 02:18 PM

Yeah, but Kilbia
There is a clear line drawn between satire and being deliberatly being cruel.

Posted by: Louise at October 6, 2004 02:18 PM

Sorry to hear someone is smearing your name, Wil. Anyone who reads your blog would realize that you're not religious enough to comment on any kind of "judgement" or "wrath". You just don't talk like that. And that wasn't meant to sound mean spirited even though it may read that way, just in case my bad luck from Monday is still following me...

Posted by: Lawless1 at October 6, 2004 02:21 PM

Wil, I don't know you personally, but have some acquaintances who have me you from Play Inc. that was based out of Sacramento, and they only had good things to say about you. I appreciate getting to the bottom of things, and ensuring Mr.Dangerfield is show respect. Take care, and best wishes.

Posted by: Bob King at October 6, 2004 02:22 PM

Wow. That's really low. I wonder what the hoaxer thought he/she would GAIN from that.

I wouldn't worry too much. Surely no one with any intelligence would think you'd actually SAY THAT. e_e

I would THINK that any hate mail would've been directed at the email listed on the comment itself.

Posted by: HillaryGayle at October 6, 2004 02:23 PM

I saw Rodney's death reporting on cnn.com last night after the debate. It made me sad because, he, like you and some others, are apart of me; my memories growing up.

I really enjoy reading your blog for a couple reasons. One: I feel a sense of belonging with you because of the characters you played while we grew up. But also because I enjoy the person you have become, your writing, and the values we share. I don't *know* you, obviously, but I *feel* as though I do, and that's worth something. I suspect others feel the same way. Most of us accept and respect that boundry.

When I logged onto your site today and read that. I was pissed, and *I* took it personaly, LOL. Silly? Maybe. I dunno.

When I read what he/she wrote in your name it was dead clear to me that the person either didn't know you or is obsessed and resents you and that boundry the rest of us respect.

Wil, best advise, if I might be so bold, I can give you is to "let it go" Because my guess is that this person really wants attention, especially from you and perhaps even your web site. Good or bad attention is attention all the same, and I'd hate to see this guy rewarded for such a deplorable act.

You're smart Wil, think about it. If you do anything at all, please consider his/her motives and be careful not to initiate future attemps to gain attention this way by making their effort successful.

If you have emailed this person already. I would too probably under the cercumstances; I'd be pissed.

ANyway, enough rambling. Sorry that happened to you, and I am even more sorry for Rodney's family. :-(((

Posted by: Don at October 6, 2004 02:27 PM

I don't know what's sadder: that someone would stoop so low, or that other people are asshatted enough to think you'd post something like that.

Posted by: Lynette at October 6, 2004 02:28 PM

The person who posted that isn't just a jerk, he's a coward to hide behind someone else's name.

Posted by: WheelMan at October 6, 2004 02:33 PM

Truly sad! But at the end of the day, anyone who is a frequent visitor to WWDn and reads the stuff on the site, realises that Wil wouldnt do anything so nasty anyway.....I pity the fool who did it.....

Later Folks!


Posted by: Paul at October 6, 2004 02:38 PM

Dude, that was beyond low. Sorry that they decided they needed to use you Wil as a scapegoat. Hope you can manage to get it all cleared up, and I really like what you said in response to them...very classy.

In other news...GNOMEDEX!!! So excited for this one.

Posted by: Ascenza at October 6, 2004 02:41 PM

The comment will keep moving down pages as more people post new comments, so the link won't get you to the offending post. You'll just have to move down the pages until you hit this timestamp: 10/6/2004 3:37:14 PM.

The gullibility of some people never ceases to amaze me.

Posted by: ttrentham at October 6, 2004 02:44 PM

What a horrible thing to happen. I don't understand why anyone would think that was a clever thing to do.

Having read your books and followed your weblog I wouldn't have believed for a moment that you had posted it.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had unpleasant e-mails as a result.

Posted by: Karen at October 6, 2004 02:45 PM

Clearly, this was just a wanker, not worth losing any sleep over.

The irony is, it almost seems appropriate for Rodney to get some good insults upon his death -- not this guy's waste-of-electrons, but some really good, funny put-downs for the man who got no respect.

Anyone remember the "This is a Dead Python" eulogy delivered by John Cleese?

Posted by: Dan at October 6, 2004 02:49 PM

I have been reading you blog for a few months now and I know there is no way that you would have posted such an awful comment about anyone, you just don't have it in you (unless they have used your name to post horrible comments about someone else).I hope that you find a quick resolution to this and that people from Rodney's site will find out that the poster was an impostor.

Posted by: Caffeine at October 6, 2004 02:51 PM

This doesn't surprise me. You've got something good going here Wil and the trolls of the world are going to try and mess with it.

They are so sad that pathetic attempts to tear others down is all they've got.

Posted by: Dave at October 6, 2004 02:52 PM

I'm sorry to hear about this. I had a recent experience similar to this, but I'm not famous so no one gives a rat's bikini but me. Someone's using some of my game review articles as alt-spam for a teen sex site. I don't understand these soi-disant people at-@()&$# all.

On a hopeful note, it seems to be getting rather firmly buried under the avalanche of other comments. There are a couple of email addresses on the site where you might be able to get ahold of someone directly in case the luzzo comes back, but I'm assuming you have those. If not, just drop me a line and I'll send you the link.

Posted by: MsZilla at October 6, 2004 02:55 PM

Fucker. I hate HotMail Wil. Hate. Hate. Hate.

Posted by: Nipsey Flynn at October 6, 2004 02:58 PM

Wow, I'm shocked that people didn't see it was an obvious troll. Have they never been anywhere else on the net to realize there are crazies out there? Oh if only we were so lucky.

Anyway, I await your Gnomedex report. Your reading was very entertaining.

Posted by: Happy Steve at October 6, 2004 02:58 PM

Heck Wil, remember the old adage, "no publicity is bad publicity?" Perhaps some folks going through the comments will see the trollscrawl, visit your site in anger, see the refutation and realize you're okay, then start reading the site, and end up becoming huge fans! It could happen!

Posted by: Ken at October 6, 2004 03:01 PM

No respect. The troll's givin' no respect. Not for Rodney, and not for you.

I'm thinking this should be the germ of a really good EB9 sketch/tribute...

Posted by: John at October 6, 2004 03:04 PM

I noticed there were several comments after that first one where someone mentioned it "to late, Wil" (did he mean TOO late?) and one where someone said you should be ashamed of yourself. Neither with an email address, both obviously the same pathetic person who started it. Hope you nail the punk, Wil!

Posted by: Nicole at October 6, 2004 03:06 PM

Who runs that Rodney website, anyway? Any chance that someone WWDN reader knows that person? Any chance we can hope that webmaster is clueful enough to log IPs of those posting on the guestbook? Can anyone ask?

If so, we can track this turkey down then... give new meaning to the word "OWNED!" :)


Posted by: sparrowhawk at October 6, 2004 03:28 PM

How rude do people have to be? I think anyone with half a brain would question the fact that it was listed with a hotmail address yet pointed at your domain? Duh. Screams of a fake to me. It is sad that he's gone, but why do people always have to try to disrespect others when things such as this happen. Someone has passed from this world. It's not an excuse to try to hurt others, either emotionally, physically, or their good name.

I hope you find the guy, Wil.. and I'm sorry that they picked you as a target for whatever reason.

Posted by: Jeran at October 6, 2004 03:30 PM

That is Truly Foul.

How sad that same lame asshole with no sense of deceny has decide to attack you and Rodney in this way.

I'm very sorry that you have yet again drawn fire from people with more free time than sense. *sigh*

Posted by: stargazer at October 6, 2004 03:30 PM

Trolls should all be squashed... I hope you wrote to rodney.com and suggested that his IP address be banned. What a horrid thing to do to you and Rodney's family and friends. What an asshole.

Posted by: Jerry Ann at October 6, 2004 03:32 PM

What the heck is wrong with some people? What a horrid thing to do. People do strange things sometimes...

Sorry to hear this happened!

Hopefully you'll be able to find this guy and report him. Or make him listen to endless Britney Spears records at chipmunk speed for hours, or conk him on the noggin with a burrito... radio free of course ;)

Posted by: RavenBlue at October 6, 2004 03:33 PM

Yeah, that was pretty bad. I noticed that the imposter left 2 other 'positive' messages after the 'negative' one - they were full of mis-spellings, however.

Posted by: Kevin Hanson at October 6, 2004 03:52 PM

I just read an entry in someone's Livejournal about this. Then I checked your post. I guess they've deleted the imposter's entry but still... are people that bored to do that? Anyway take care.

Posted by: Lana at October 6, 2004 03:56 PM

That sucks, Wil. You are, at least from what I have read, a great guy and don't deserve this. The memory of Rodney does not deserve that either. As an avid WWdN reader, I know that is not your style.

Posted by: Viki at October 6, 2004 03:59 PM

Found the fake post. Pretty disgusting to think somebody could slur the names of not only Rodney, but you too Wil. Sad.

Posted by: Steve at October 6, 2004 04:04 PM

What I find even harder to believe than the fact someone was so nasty as to post a thing like that in your name is that the other people truly believed you were the one who posted it in the first place.

People can be so frustratingly gullible.

I'm sure Mr. Dangerfield's family, if they ever see it, will know better than to believe you had anything to do with such a horrifyingly bad thing.

And hopefully the website admin will blam it before the day is out.

Posted by: ShelaghC at October 6, 2004 04:10 PM

IP logging is the answer. But still, it's just an anonymous guestbook, these hateful things happen all the damn time.

Posted by: Wedge at October 6, 2004 04:20 PM

Hey Wil... only the shamefully ignorant would believe anyone in the public eye [you] would say such hateful and immature things about a recently deceased celebrity [Rodney].

I just signed Rodney's guestbook:

Sorry for his loved ones' loss... for the world's loss. He always made me laugh and smile. Note: Wil Wheaton is one of the nicest guys around... he's never said a bad thing about Rodney. It was an imposter using a hotmail account.

Posted by: edwoodca at October 6, 2004 04:25 PM

Sorry to hear abou that Wil. You are generous enough to share your thoughts on your own website and some idiot has to take advantage of you. You are a great guy Wil. I'd shout it from all the rooftops if I had the time.

Posted by: Geoff at October 6, 2004 04:45 PM

Wil,

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this crap. I'm amazed that people would think you would do this...obviously they don't read your site that often (or really at all).

Bryan

Posted by: Bryan K at October 6, 2004 04:55 PM

it's on page 14 now. I'm amazed the webmaster hasnt attempted to delete the entry.

Posted by: Bryan K at October 6, 2004 04:55 PM

It must have been the Entertainment Weekly writer that got fired after his little article ;-p
Look at it this way, everyday more people envy you. Not to say that that is good, I think it just shows how popular you are becoming!

Posted by: Mau at October 6, 2004 04:59 PM

Our deepest and most sincere hopes and prayers go out to everyone that knew Rodney. To his lovely wife, (whom I've met), sorry sweetie. You know that you were the best thing that ever happened to Rodney. To his fans, we will all miss him. I had the honor to work with Rodney on one of his last films. He was an old school pro. Rodney always worked, writing down jokes, trying them out on the cast and crew. He came from an honest place when trying out new material. He's awesome, but the secret is that he acted like he didn't know he was awesome. This is one of the nicest, and funniest guys I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I love you Rodney. We are already missing you.

-K

P.S. Wil, I can't believe what you said on Rodney's message board. How can you be so awful? I will never again watch Toy Soldiers.

P.P.S. Just Kidding!!!!

Posted by: Keith Coogan at October 6, 2004 05:00 PM

THAT SUCKS!!! *mutters swear words and curses under her breath* Why would someone do that? Saying what they did was bad enough, but to sign it under someone else's name...awful!

Posted by: Beth at October 6, 2004 05:03 PM

Christ! How much of a loser does someone have to be to do something like that?!

At least anyone who knows anything about you will know that the comment is NOT by you; why someone would try to cause that kind of hurt is beyond me... :-/

(R.I.P. Rodney!)

Posted by: tinks at October 6, 2004 05:13 PM

Glad it wan't you Wil. I came by here to rant agin you but now I see you are cool.

are you on at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2 ?

Posted by: Mary at October 6, 2004 05:32 PM

What's sad is that some jackass went and posted another message as Wil, shortly after the real Wil posted his message. It wasn't bad in nature, but still...

Posted by: Mike at October 6, 2004 05:50 PM

sorry for my comment,
i was reacting to the post.

i don't feel that way about you,
just the dumb**** loser that posted that.

thank you for the clarification.

any updates will always be appreciated.

Posted by: da prez at October 6, 2004 06:01 PM

"The sad thing is that someone actually believed the post was genuine...like it would really come from a hotmail address."

I can say that many people do have hotmail acct's that they use as their 'main' accts... infact, I can vouch for at least one who is a 'star' in his own right (just sent my neice an autograph picture for her birthday last week - she LOVED IT!!!!!) and that person does have a hotmail address.

even though, I doubted the above person's true idenity in the begining he came thru with the autograph....

Posted by: Molli at October 6, 2004 06:40 PM

it looks like the comment has dropped off the guestbook. it also looks like your comment is about to drop off the guestbook as well Wil.

Posted by: David B at October 6, 2004 06:59 PM

So now that Rodney's gone, Wil's gettin' no respect? Ladies and gentlemen, the torch has been passed.

Just kidding with ya, Wil. And as for Rodney, may he rest in peace; he's certainly earned it (especially after Ladybugs).

Posted by: Radiofreewill at October 6, 2004 07:43 PM

Why oh why are people so pathetic?

Posted by: Nadia at October 6, 2004 08:09 PM

OMG that sucks. What a jerkass. Someone's life must be pretty empty if they need to do something like that to get their kicks. I hope whoever did that feels good about themself now. *eye roll*

Posted by: Kimberly at October 6, 2004 08:22 PM

who ever did this, I have 1 thing to say...

I HAVE "NO RESPECT" FOR YOU AT ALL
and I hope you get caught!

Caddyshack was the best!

Wil, don't let it "bring ya down"

Posted by: Wade at October 7, 2004 12:47 AM

It seems to be gone now...

Sorry to see that some people are still acting like jerks.

Posted by: Van Spock at October 7, 2004 03:06 AM

Someone must of removed it, because I read each entry and couldn't find it. I'm really mad that someone would even do such a thing to smear your name Wil. I know you would never say something like that. Some people have to do that for attention. I just want to wring that troll's neck. I signed the guestbook. I had to, he was such a great comedian. I grew up watching him. I expecially loved his movie Ladybugs with the late Jonathan Brandis. I know Rodney will keep heaven in stitches. I'll never stop being a fan of yours Wil. I've been one since 1986 and it's still going strong.
A fan forever.

Posted by: dave at October 7, 2004 07:13 AM

What they did sucks. Happened to me too, though wasn't as bad as what happened to you. Look me up on classmates.com (actually, please don't), and you'll find an entry some dingbat created for me. The frustrating thing is that I can't change my own entry, because I didn't create it. Sheesh.

Posted by: Jonathan Gennick at October 7, 2004 06:27 PM

Hey Wil! First time responder, new blogger addict here. Just wanted to say that I couldn't find the freaks post, which is probably a good thing. Sure, sometimes we need to be reminded of the depths of animosity that some people have to sink to, but lets not build any monuments for farks sake!
Ya' gots two great things going for ya'. You're a nice guy, and you're an honest guy. Yahz double fistin' coolness baby!

Posted by: joseph at October 7, 2004 07:35 PM

Some people in the world are so f------ STUPID. Wil, you are awesome, I hate that anyone would want to tarnish your name.

Posted by: Matt (TheGiant) at October 7, 2004 07:36 PM

Hey Wil,
I just read about the imposter. What a lame thing to say and even lamer for someone to pretend to be you and try to make you look bad. Don't let it bother you too much if you can, because your friends and fans here at wwDn appreciate you and know what a good guy you are. I met you for like 10 minutes and could tell you were a real down-to Earth, decent guy. It's a shame when ignorant, foolish people feel the need to slander others and not have the sack to reveal their true identity. Shame on that mystery person whomever they might be..

Posted by: Jason at October 7, 2004 08:18 PM

Whoever did that is a loser. You know you didn't do it, and we know you didn't do it.
Rodney was awesome; just watched "Back To School" for the billionth time, and he's gonna be deeply missed. He was a comedic genius, and from what I hear, a great person.
I'm sure he's in a far better place.
Take care, Wil, and don't let some idiot ruin your day.

Posted by: Jeannette311 at October 8, 2004 10:19 AM

Aw, c'mon Wil! Put the blowtorch away - this guy obviously needs a hug. I mean, to do something so inflammatory and immature after the passing of another person, obviously we're talking someone with major childhood issues here. And posing as you... I'll bet the whole thing came about because somone once asked him why he couldn't be more like Wesley. ;)

But, quoth Professor Farnsworth: "Good news!" the guest book only goes to 20 pages. The oldest entries were from October 7, meaning the false entry with your name is no longer online. Granted it doesn't make up for the fact that this whole thing happened, but at least nobody else will be mislead by it.

Wil,

I went and looked and I couldn't find the entry so I'm hoping they deleted it. It's a sad world filled with people who are filled with anger and hatred and who spread it around without conscience. It's horrible it had to happen to you or anyone else for that matter.

This is the first time I've posted here though I've come to your blog frequently.

Don't hate me BUT I LOVED you on Star Trek. I thought you were and are a wonderful actor. I'm not sure what's wrong with all these anti-wesley people except that they are probably jealous *LOL* I have been watching for you in more movies and can't wait to see you on the screen again.

Since I've been coming to this site I have really enjoyed getting to know you as a person. You are pretty much as I expected you to be. Which is a sweet guy who loves his family, enjoys and cherishes his friends, has a great sense of humor, and too high of an IQ for me to hold an intelligent conversation with (you lost me during the poker game thing).

I just wanted to let you know I think you're great.

Take care and be glad that your life isn't so sad that you have to go out causing misery and pretending to be someone else. That person must have a miserable life.

This is going to sound funny, considering that I I "reinvented" myself as Madonna online back in June when it came out that she wanted to be called Esther, but here goes:

There is a difference between screwing around online and being funny, and being vicious. While I've been "Madonna" for four months now, I've never crossed that line: I've never used "reinvention" as an excuse to post anything vicious about her or anyone else, and I've never tried to convince people that I am the real Madonna Ciccone (in fact, my blog has a disclaimer on it, saying as much).

If someone had created a site, claiming to be Wil, and said things as a joke like "Captain Picard should've been given hair implants to make him look like a Chia Pet" and "I always dreamed of turning Data into a vacuum cleaner" and "Troi - You, me, holodeck, NOW!", it would've been hilarious. However, the way Wil's name was used was anything BUT hilarious.

What "Wil Wheaton" did on rodney.com crosses both lines. Not only was that a sick thing to say, but doing so claiming to be Wil makes it even more disgusting. If the person who wrote that felt the need to spew such venom, he/she should've had the guts to make up a fake name, or just use their own. Writing it as "Wil Wheaton" unfairly drags Wil into the mess.

So, take it from someone who has amused themselves by playing around with a new identity online: When it's used to spoof (ie. You want to be Esther now? Fine, I'm Madonna now!), it's cute and funny. When it's used to cause pain and manipulate people, it's not.

Believe me, I'm not laughing at what "Wil" posted on rodney.com. I sure hope the REAL Wil gets him, and introduces him to Worf.

Wil, I hope you don't let this get to you. I can't imagine what type of mongrel would do that to both you and Mr. Dangerfield's family.

I just wanted to add my support for you here, because I know that it's often those negative things that we as people focus on, so I wanted to give you another positive comment to read to balance it out.

From what I've seen/heard/read from you, I would never believe for a second that you'd do something like that.

I am completely flummoxed.

First, I just can not understand why anyone would do this to Mr. Wheaton. Seriously. I don't know him personally but my guts say he's a good man.

Second, the same goes for Mr. Dangerfield - a genius and legend that a hell of a lot of people are going to miss.

Oh please, please, please let there be Karmic payback of titanic proportion for the sick fuck that did this.
