Simple solution. Make an account making fun of him. If he complains, act all immature and change it to something else.

Anyway, this is really annoying me. Web sites should start having a minimum IQ requirement to sign up... :dead

I think 99% of the internet's population would vanish if web sites started doing that.

At least they removed most of the annoying jibes aimed at the real Xky.

And it occurred to me that, for the sake of argument, its possible that this person actually does share Xky's unusual name and did the same thing as him: googled it and found someone else with the name involved with something called 'Commander Keen' and just went from there. Doesn't take away from the immaturity of their actions in the first place, but it may explain some things.

I don't think that's possible. I can't imagine that name being given to anyone else. I also can't imagine that this person would be the same age as Xky, and also like Commander Keen.
It's too unlikely to be a coincidence. This guy is just a troll.

You miss my point. I was not suggesting this person had any interest in Command Keen or was the same age; only that if they had the same name, and they were to google it, who do you think would turn up? Our Xky. And for whatever reason, this person thought it would be funny (or whatever) to be that Xky.

Farfetched, I know, but it may dismiss some of the creepiness and/or personalness.

Ah, I get it. Yeah, I still don't think that'd happen. Xky is a pretty unique name. Unless this person's parents were friends with Xky's family or something... although I don't think he'd be making fun of Xky then.

I know two Skys, so I don't think Xky would be particularly strange. Heck, I have a friend named Casino.

Xkylyr is just a cool spelling variation on a fairly common name...the name itself isn't that unusual. Whether or not his name is actually Xky we will never know for sure probably, but it's pretty obvious that much or most of his personal info is some sort of ripoff thing, which is totally bizarre and honestly rather violating. The fact that he clearly knew about Xky on PCKF and responded to that is pretty telling I think.

Indeed, I know two girls by the name of "Skyler". Not much of a strech to spell it differently. Adding to this point, the 'real' Xky has a comment from the 'fake' one indicating they believe him to be a she (This would make the "Commander Keen's Wife" somewhat less slanderous, though certainly still obnoxious).

I feel like this is more support toward the idea this someone with the name or nickname Xkylyr who googled her name/alius, found the Xky we know, and thought it would be funny to either pretend to be that Xky or they were annoyed to find someone else shared their unusual name and thought they'd poke fun (or something else [stupid]).

Anyway, the joke seems to be over, as they've apologized, "Not the same as Xky Rauh. Sorry for any insults."
