Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" -- Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)

So it turns out that earlier today, someone was going around impersonating me, using an account with a very similarly spelled username and the same avatar as me, posting disparaging remarks towards another artist on this site.

If you saw one of those comments, I apologize that you had to see that, but that was not me posting those comments. I believe I've deleted all of the comments that person spammed over my profile, but if you see one I missed, please let me know.

And just in case this happens again, I just wanna make three things very clear:

1) I never post false / disparaging / insulting / hateful / calling out / accusatory / etc comments directed towards other people. If there's someone I dislike (and that's a very small group of people), I simply block them, leave it at that, and move on with life. 

2) If you see someone who appears to be me posting such comments, check their username and profile. If their name isn't spelled "joeyh3" and they've not been a member of DA for half a decade, again it's not me.

3) While I am indeed a staff member on a particular website dedicated to MLP fan art, I do not, never have, and never will post "official statements" on behalf of that website or it's staff outside of that website and it's official social media accounts. For all intents and purposes, I do not represent myself as a staff member of that website outside of that website.
