My nickname being misused.

Apparently someone has registered a nickname “Kenyon_01” and has a registered date of Mar 2006. And he has been imitating me, i.e. my ID on College Confidential.

If you refer to the thread there, he claims to be a Malaysian and also a freshman (which I am not) in Kenyon College, who’s going to transfer out to “Midd, Vassar”. If I am not wrong, there isn’t any Malaysians in Kenyon for the Class of 2009. And if you were to check again “other posts he had posted”, you will see that he claims to have “rejected Harvard, MIT, Caltech, Princeton for Kenyon”. And having posted some highly vitriolic posts with regards to some people thinking that “Kenyon is a safety” school, I suspect that someone is trying to get back at me, albeit using a bit of underhanded means.

But then again, “imitation is the best form of flattery”. I thank him for that but at the same time, would like to warn readers to be more discerning and check to see if it’s the real kenyon10 posting… and not the imitated kenyon01 (which I do not think there’s much meaning in that nickname anyway).
