I reported it. Hopefully more people do as well. (Doesn’t hurt that some of us have been blocked for no good reason).

Thanks Davis!

I think Twitter doesn’t allow poser accounts. While they may argue that the words “think atheist” is a bit too generic for us to claim, you could argue that they wouldn’t allow someone to claim Planned Parenthood or The American Catholic church and pose to represent those organizations. We are just smaller. I don’t know how responsive Twitter is, but they could certainly tell him to choose another Twitter name or be shut down.

Good advice! I shall give it a try. Until now Twitter Support has not been very responsive.

In the meantime, rather than taking people who land on ThinkAtheist.com to the AtheistZone.com homepage, take them to a page explaining that if they came here from Twitter, they should know that we are not associated with the Think Atheist Twitter page and deplore its contents. And of course also have a link to our homepage.

Now we have 2 topics about stolen account. TA HomePage is redirected to 1 of the topics that explains how to report it http://atheistzone.com/forums/topic/think-atheist/.
