To have an inflated sense of my own importance

I've just realised there's someone with my old (several name-changes ago) Jamie... username. AFAIK, I've been the only Jamie for a few years, and I don't really want to change completely. So I just wanted to let you know that this is me.

Does this make any sense?

No - what are you on about?

Thought not.

I have been one Jamie or another for years.

Someone else is now using Jamiesmagictorch, and I just wanted to let people know that she is not me

(I'm sure she's very nice)

because some people on here do talk to me a fair bit and I don't want them to be confused

Yes but how does any of this affect me?

Pagwatch · 20/12/2011 17:54

Are you my Jamie?

You were Jamiesmagictorch not that long ago. Can a name be used again so quickly. That's confusing

Yours was correct though, Jamie. It had an and.

I think a PM is in order.

I thought once a name had been taken it was taken forever. They must be using a variation - an additional letter or something.

HecateGoddessOfTwelfthNight · 20/12/2011 17:57

x-post. They are Grin

Acktewly, it should have been Jamieandthemagictorch.

But that would be silly.

No PMs necessary. Just a nice quiet AIBU

Oh I see. I thought once names were used they couldn't be reused by someone else. Doesn't stop someone have JMT2 or something I suppose.

Reality - You suck. Bad.

I think she will name change pretty quick when she realises how much we all hate you

LadyBeagleBaublesAndBells · 21/12/2011 11:38

I'm confused.
So who is the real Jamie and who is the imposter?
I hate it when that happens.

I am the real Jamie. Honest. Or not. Can't decide. Shit.

Start a thread for her, or PM her, explaining that people may be confused because of your old name. If she's not been here long she may be happy to pick something else!
