Really Cinds? Linkage?

I doubt they are pretending to be you dear

Could you type that again and make it more patronising?

I use it but mainly to stalk Arsenal players. I have a few people from here on it but we don't really chat to eachother there.

Truth be told I don't understand it much.

Oh and the fake thing - I had someone on there that I thought was from here. Never really had any dealings with them on Twitter but then the real person pm'd me here to say it wasn't them and asked me to block them there so I did

The legal action to unmask the culprit was brought by three councillors and one senior official: Ian Malcolm, the council’s Labour leader, David Potts, former Conservative group leader who is now an independent, Anne Walsh, a Labour councillor, and Rick O’Farrell, head of enterprise and regeneration.

They hired a US law firm, McDermott Will & Emery, and filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California in the San Mateo County against “persons unknown”.

In court documents, they alleged: “The defendant unlawfully posted false and defamatory statements about the plaintiffs on several weblogs, more commonly called blogs.” As part of the action they were able to obtain a subpoena ordering Twitter to release the name, address, email address, telephone number and geographical location of the users behind five accounts: @fatcouncillor, @cllrdavidpotts, @councillorahmedkhan, @councillorkhan and @ahmedkhan01.

Ahmed Khan, an independent councillor, admits to being the owner of one of the accounts. Mr Khan is suspected by the councillors bringing the legal action of being Mr Monkey, although he denies the allegation. He was given the opportunity by Twitter of hiring a lawyer to oppose the disclosure order, but decided not to.

He said: “If a council can take this kind of action against one of its own councillors simply because they don’t like what I say, what hope is there for freedom of speech or privacy?’’ "

I do occasionally read the tweets of Norwich and ex City players like Dion Dublin or the legend that is Darren Huckerby, especially when they tweet provocative Ipswich Town baiting comments like Norwich's John Ruddy.  Always good for a larf!
