Hi my name is Boz

Greetings earthlings.

Now, about me...

Isn't Jason Mendleson a Slapnfunk Impersonator however? Slapnfunk is the real Jason Mendleson, not the Jason Mendleson Username.

SlapnFunk joined Sept. 2010.

Jason Mendelson joined August 2010.

Alan had two kids, a boy and a girl.

For whatever reason Jason opened two accounts, one month apart: no, it is not an impersonator.

Thanks for clarifying. I too was wondering if that poster was impostering Alan’s son.

Not to hijack but Jason never responded to (may not have seen) my earlier post, so I'll ask again: Jason, redietz says he mailed a lot of "proof" to your dad, and Alan said IIRC it was in his office and he didn't look at it.

Do you know what ever happened to this alleged "proof?"

Is it available for inspection by you or someone you'd designate?

I ask solely in the name of transparency.

Yes, there is a verb form, but we have to go way back to Latin to find it. The verb imponere meant to impose upon or deceive. The participle form of imponere is impostis, and then the agent noun for that participle is impostor- which has carried through to modern English in its original Latin form.

If you want a direct verb form for impostor in today's English, your closest bet would be impose, but the ideas of imposture and imposition in modern usage have diverged to the point that that's probably not going to be useful for you.

If you want a verb that means "to deceive through imposture" without worrying about the etymology, unfortunately, there isn't anything that means exactly that. Some version of "trick" or "fool" can probably be made to serve, with enough surrounding context.

If you provide the exact sentence, we can play fill-in-the-blank with you. I'm having a hard time constructing a scenario where "impersonate" doesn't fit the bill.
