Someone is using my normal MN user name on Facebook as part of a closed MN group and it's not me. WWYD?

OK WWYD, not AIBU. After buttongate yesterday, I can't be arsed for a fight.

Anyway, during the great Facebook Like debate, I thought I'd have a little look around the internet to see how MNers interact on FB, just to understand the dynamics a bit. And I came across a closed FB group, but you could see the IDs of the members. And I discovered that somebody was called: FirstName MardyBra.

I was rather bemused, and probably made a few faces at my computer like these: Shock Confused Hmm. Now I know in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal, and there is certainly no copyright on MN nicknames, but she could be posting all sorts of shite, people might think it's me and it could affect my interactions with other MNers. WWYD?

I think it's dodgy, and just not on.

AmazingBouncingJesus · 18/12/2011 19:46

If it was unrelated to mumsnet I wouldnt be all that bothered but considering it's a mumsnet facebook group makes it very Hmm I mean it's not like you arnt well known!

Yes, crazynanna, I wish I had a belly like yours. Hmm

Well I've made a MN Facebook friend. I'll see if she can shed any light - thinking of reposting this to Chat or somewhere where there is more traffic.

MardyBra · 18/12/2011 19:54

OK Result. She's disappeared by the looks of it.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 18/12/2011 20:01

Perhaps there was something dubious in it, then ?

MardyBra · 19/12/2011 00:02

Just had a PM back from the MNer who was in the group. It appears that it wasn't a particularly active group, but there was an assumption that this woman WAS me. Anyway, sorted now. As to the motives, well, we can only speculate...

swanker · 19/12/2011 19:55

Was definitely MardyBra, and not MardyArsedMidlander (I think)?
V dodgy. I notice they disappeared pronto!

I would feel uncomfortable with that even though I am a serial name changer, but IIRC you've had the name forever
