Thanks to the both of you. I feel a lot better now. But it still irks me this guy is out there possibly harming my reputation in order to carry out his dominance and harassment games on people.

The advantage would be that any abuse reports directed at him and any of his alts, including false alts, would call into question the validity of the reporter's statements as the ones against false alts would in effect be false reports. This confuses the issue in favor of the guy doing the abusing because he now has ammunition to say to the Lindens that the reporter is just an unstable person and is filing random reports on people. I probably should have mentioned that I don't know this person and have never met him before but he did use personal information about me in order to convince the other two women that I was his alt. The information could easily have been obtained from my profile and from attending one of my stand-up comedy shows at various clubs in SL. The fact is, he had convinced these two women that I was his alt, and he may have others convinced of that fact. At least one of them has filed an abuse report against him. My concern is that there may be others out there whom he has told that I am his alt and who might in the future file an abuse report against me in the belief that they are filing it against him.

I have recently become aware that an abusive person is active in SL and has told two of the people he is harassing and abusing that my avatar is one of his own alts.  This, of course, has created problems for me with the two people he has told this to.  Through the use of voice chat, I have cleared up this misunderstanding with the two people involved as they had been in voice chat with him before and knew his voice well enough to tell that I wasn't him.  But what can I do to be pro-active and get him to stop telling people that I am him?  Should I submit an abuse report or would that simply further cloud the identity theft issue?
