Hi. My name is Karl "Konzentrationslager" Rove, and I am nastier than anything you could ever scrape off the bottom of this shoe.

(and in case you're wondering if this is really me - I'm still enjoying the work on the website of your gallerist pal. I think I may have to come back as the REAL minsley tortimer tho... or the zombie minsley tortimer)
gawd - do I really come off like AD? not that I don't sometimes enjoy AD...

Follow these steps and learn how to identify trolls who impersonate Gawker commenters.
The user on this page going by the handle "Minsley Tortimer" is not the "real" or original Minsley Tortimer.
1. Go to the page where Minsley Tortimer was executed.
2. Click the link where it says Executed: Minsley Tortimer.
3. You will see that this users ability to comment is still not enabled.
4. Now, look at the URL of the real Minsley’s page. It should be this:
http://gawker.com/people/azoth/
Why azoth? Because that is evidently the user ID that the real Minsley Tortimer entered on registering several months ago. Now, click on the linked handle of the recent comments by the fake "Minsley Tortimer," and you’ll see that the URL of this user’s page is:
http://gawker.com/people/MinsleyTortimer/
Not the same URL = not the same user. The imposter stole the name and her avatar, but he cannot steal the username, and thus the URL is not the same. You can use this technique to ferret out trolls who impersonate other users on this or other Gawker websites. Simply find a comment that you know to be authentic, click the handle of that comment, and check the URL of the user’s page.
5. Question: Who is the user glitter.panda, who claims to be the real Minsley Tortimer? Answer: The same troll. By means of obfuscation, he hopes you’ll think either his "Minsley Tortimer" or "glitter.panda" is the real Minsley Tortimer. He doesn’t care, as long as you’re fooled.
A message to the glitter.panda et alia: I really don’t give a shit, actually. I’m just outing you for the lulz.

You've gone too far with this description. All I can think of is the irreversibly psychologically damaged woman or man lying underneath that wretchedness wheezing with pleading, desperate eyes: "Kill. Me. Please, I beg of you. Just. Kill. Me".

It's taking everything I have to stay at my desk and not get in the elevator, not get in my car and not sob as if I'd run over an entire litter of kittens.
