DH goes on an adventure, but uses my name...

[milee]

Yesterday I started getting emails notifying me of responses to a comment I'd posted on the website of a very widely read national publication.  This is odd because although I read this publication, I never post comments on articles.  And if I ever did decide to post comments I sure as heck wouldn't post them under my full, real name.  But sure enough, here was a comment - on a political issue no less (something I rarely discuss with strangers) - under my full name on this nationally read publication web site.    In all fairness, it looks like the other posters are also posting under their names as well so that may be a requirement of the site, but who knows if they're using real names or pseudonyms. 

Anyway, since I have no idea how this political post got there and how it's been linked to my email, I'm about to contact the publication when I mention it to DH.  He casually mentions that he was the one that made the post. 

So I ask him why he'd post under my name, especially something that's politically charged?

He shrugged and replied that the account's under my name, so that's what shows up.  He's right about that, since I set up all our business subscriptions.  But I don't want him posting under my name.  Especially my full, real name and especially on political subjects which seem to bring out the pugnacious, raving loonies.  Sigh.  No real question, just venting.

DH posted a nastygram about Michael Moore using my facebook account.

Fortunately it got screened and deleted.   He didn't understand what the big deal was. I told him I am looking for jobs and employers google you nowadays looking for your facebook page. I don't need a bunch of insane posts about Michael Moore showing up under my name.

You want to do stupid stuff do it with your own facebook page.

Sign him up for an email porn subscription using his work email.

Maybe it would be a good idea to change your passwords.

I'm guessing "DH" doesn't mean "dear husband" here...

DH is so flexible.  Dear, Dumb, Damned....

Just have him change your profile name to something more appropriate, like SpaceCoastPaul.

This is an example of why it is unwise to share email addresses and

passwords. He posted under a business account email?

Kids do say the darndest things.

It's OK if you kill him. I said so.

I'd be pissed!

They had to close down the comments section of a bunch of news outlets a while ago, because nutcases were using it to stir up trouble.  Sound familiar?   So they implemented a requirement for people having to sign in using their email or facebook account and it had to get approved before they could post a comment.  they wouldn't approve anyone with an obviously fake name either.

This type of thing happens when a family has a subscription to a newpaper type of thing.  It costs so much a week to get the paper with the online included so no one I know would willing pay for that twice just to get two accounts.  What then happens is the computers know the ISP address so whenever someone from that house goes to the site it will automatically assume it is the person whose name is on the subscription.

Yeah, I hate this. The first time I posted a comment one of the options was to sign in with FaceBook. I was pretty stunned when my name got attached. Fortunately, it was just a refutation of an article on how frequent fliers get better treatment that I termed a "whiny rant". I have a gmail account with a (not obviously) fake name and use that now.

I found out, thanks to DH, that facebook is oh so helpful.  It automatically links to several sites so you can comment using your facebook account rather than being anonymous.   That's how DH was able to post under my name.

He didn't realize it attached to my actual facebook page.    I then got in a long argument with him because he insisted it was illegal for employers to access my account.    Somebody doesn't realize that in the 21st century EVERYTHING is game when it comes to employers.   I don't want them seeing a bunch of political loony tunes posting on my wall.

If he wants to rant about Michael Moore he can come on here.  My real name isn't used here he can post on P&M as me all he wants.

somedays, I'm not sure how you don't kill him.

I've told him multiple times he needs to thank the Gods I let him live.

[wvugurl26]

I think he gets to live so drama doesn't have to take out the trash or squish bugs.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I remind him if I start doing those things myself that means he's in trouble and better watch his back.

[whoami]

It pisses me off anytime someone attaches my name to anything without my knowledge.  

My MIL  made donations in our name to organizations I would never support and now we are harrassed by them for more money.  

I told DH to tell her to knock it off or else I would return the favor in kind...and she got way more offended by things she disagreed with than I ever did.

I will occasionally remind DH that he always falls asleep first, he'd better stay on my good side.

I take out the trash myself and gently put errant bugs outside. It CAN be done. There IS life after husbands.

I can too.   It's a running joke from the old EE board.  It wasn't meant to be taken literally.

If you're on FaceBook, be aware that if you "Like" any pages from their large advertisers, your contacts will occasionally get "Suggested Posts" from, say, Wal-Mart, with the header "whoami likes Wal-Mart".  People join these pages to get notices of sales and new products and then their name is used in advertising to their friends on FB.  An acquaintance died a couple of years ago and her family kept her page open so they could post remembrances on her birthday, etc.  After her death, I was still getting ads telling me she liked Wal-Mart.
