Critical Thoughts

By serendipity I found out that someone is impersonating me by using my usual identity “menj” and using www.ibnjuferi.com as the blog URL. I rarely leave blog comments on blogs that I do not visit often and I have no idea why would anyone want to impersonate me and leave silly and rude comments on other people’s blogs, unless if the intention is to defame my character and give people the impression that I am an uncivilised person.

Take for example this bogus comment by the impersonator:

hahaha!
cheapskate customers with cheapskate cars ranting about cheap stuffs!
you know why you are kept waiting? bcos your time is cheap!
go work harder and get a better car…loser

Since that comment was left a few months’ back and I only discovered this yesterday, the damage left by this person on other blogs could be massive. However there are distinct characteristics which prove that I did not write this comment.

1. I always capitalise letters at the beginning of any sentence and I never use short forms when constructing a sentence. I take pride in my strong command of English and take language very seriously. If one cannot even write a proper English sentence, do not write at all.
2. Grammatical mistakes. I rarely make silly grammatical mistakes by confusing tenses and nouns.
3. I don’t suggest silly things that belittle and defame a blogger in his/her post. In the case of the comment above, the premise is fundamentally flawed because I am getting a Persona soon.
4. I always sign off my comments with - MENJ at the end of the post (unless if I forget, but rules 1 – 3 still apply).

If you know of any bogus commentary by this person impersonating as yours truly, please be aware of this person and always check with me first to ensure if the comment was really made by me or otherwise.
