Fake Eddie notches it up- Update Feb 23

Sunday, February 23 8:50 pm

UPDATE- Guess you've all seen, this fake Eddie is spamming. Definitely, a violation of terms of service, as well as disrupting the forum. She'll probably go back and delete most of the posts, so I'll send screenshots along to the Editors. Too bad this person wastes so much space- obviously only cares about herself, not what anyone else has to say.  http://imgur.com/CCmoqae  http://imgur.com/BFjAqeP http://imgur.com/jOJ2n4G

The fake Eddie is really pouring it on. This "identity" started imitating long-time contributor Eddie a few months ago. It stopped for a while but it's back. There have been several "fakes" like this. For some reason, now the fake Eddie (Eddie-davis...) is telling the real Eddie (Eddie-13) that she just happened to have the same name. The real Eddie recently mentioned how she'd stolen his avatar, so she just deleted it. @ Eddie, this is somebody that's been "flaming" you and others under various screen names since the summer. You had the nerve to tell her she was wrong. She actaully started out posting under her real name, and told a lot about her life and her personal grudges.

You've probably forgotten these conversations. Just thought you might want to know why she started this:

Laura, you are the one without the facts. Do your research and you'll see that these huge premiums are a bipartisan threat to just about everyone in Long Beach. Google Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 for starters and begin reading.

ok Eddie. So everyone hurry up and sell your houses now. Maybe the neighborhood will change for the better if only people who can afford the high insurance can live here. Wait section 8 will cover the added expense. Maybe we will lose our homes and go on section 8 then the govt can pay our rent so we can stay in what once was our homes.

-------------------------------

Writing the fake Eddie stuff came much later. It's sad now she's saying that's her real name, since many of her first "eddie" posts were things "insulting herself" as Eddie. I have screen shots of it all. I've attached a screen shot old post from August. No matter what name she uses, you can recognize the writing style. (and "I really wonder how well some of you can read...")

Also, I've attached screen shots of the night she "lifted" Eddie's avatar. 9:45 pm the avatar was his, 11:45 pm it was her. I have lots of screen shots where she's violated the Terms of Service in various ways, plus it's all archived. But remember, she made up  the "fake Moe" and said exactly the same kind of comments like "so, you want to play tough, huh?"

Here's a post from Fake Eddie today:

 Not hard for me at all. LMAO. 20 years I've been here 10% increase, adjust for inflation -not bad at all. "penalty charge" was because of the Republicans before - old news, old argument, not going rehash it. Beside penalty charge was less the 1% so again where is your over 50%? Now it may be because you still think $1. today is the same as $1. in 1850. It's not. You need to compare the present value of that $1. I understand that concept may be difficult for you. So I'll put it to you this way; if you had children when you were a young man - compare the cost of their diapers to the cost of the ones you buy for yourself now.

Here's a post under another screen name from the summer. Think they're different people?

My flood insurance came in Aug, $20. more then last year. I had a big claim, collected and I fixed the damage. You guys need to get your facts straight and stop scaring people. Yes there will be some who will pay $9500 the top rate but those are houses that received over 50% damage and need to lift there homes to prevent the same type damage in case of another flood event.

------------------------------------

Yet another from the old screen name, sounds like the recent "Eddie-davis" comment above:

Really did you miss the point? Maybe you are the one who is marginally functioning since you appear to have a reading issue. You must work for the red cross. Where is the $228 million? How are they having trouble finding people in need?

-------------------------------------

Back in her days of posting under her real name last summer, she named a person in City Hall she complained to constantly. I wonder if he remembers her?

Don't forget, I only use this screen name "moe" to comment on fake posts. So if she starts putting up "moe" posts again, you know they're fakes. Good luck, Eddie!
