Michael Tonello was using readily identiable names like LuxeGuru or HermesGuy but interestingly, his new nicks are different. Google reconfortante and it will no longer link you to his GQ posts because it is a common Spanish word. Ditto advent, for his posts on StyleForum.net (where he also admits to being Michael Tonello and shills his book as someone else, then comments on it as advent).
And of course, he is hiding behind the PFA. Though every now and then he posts as Michael J. Tonello. And comments on his own posts anonymously (it's easy to tell which ones - the style is nearly identical). And we suspect he has other blogs to bash PF. Some were not active. Some are new.
Michael Tonello has been a prolific forum poster and so he has left a trail. A slimy one. Frankly, we prefer breadcrumbs.

Just a word of caution. Tonello's latest cesspool site contains posts of IP addresses of those who visit. If you must visit, use an IP blocker. So far, nobody's name has been dragged through the mud but it's early yet.
Someone suggested he is a sociopath. Sounds about right to me. Anyone other than a sociopath would have been thoroughly embarrassed by now. MT is just doing more of the same.
Until he started his PFA blog , which prompted me to look at him more closely, I had thought he was just a normal man who was upset about being banned from PF.
When I started seeing that he was all over the internet with a myriad of usernames, I realized that he was not normal but instead came across as a bit crazed!
This is not the behavior of a mentally healthy 50-something man.
Now I understand why he attacks the authenticators on the Purse Forum. They are well perceived whereas he is looked upon as trash. Have you not noticed that he always accuses the Purse Forum for inflating the number of members? If he was loved, what a world of difference it would be for his reputation and his book sale. So this is no wonder a very bitter person.
So he has to proliferate all over the internet ... to portray as *THE* expert ... the guru. By his own admission, Birkins became a merchandise. I doubt he remembers the characteristics of the various skins and colour combinations. When people ask him questions about the leather, it would be no surprise he sneaks over to the Purse Forum to check for the answers.
Word out there is that the VIPs don't want to publish the information anymore. So no chance of getting insider news.
Luckily, you can still search the GG forums for all of his names, including Michael Tonello. Just be sure to select "all" as your date range. Very interesting stalker behaviour.
Style forum is searchable too.
You can see his nasty mark all over these two forums, and he has also been posting comments as thepurseforumadvisory all over the internet, to drive traffic to his hateful site.
He can change names all he wants, so can that hateful Donna Lehtonen, but they will still be the vicious monsters they are.
You can change your blogs, Michael Tonello. Doesn't mean you can't be recognized!! You only have pathetically few purseforum threads to quote from, and you go on and on mentioning them ad infinitum.
Take this as an example: You write posts slamming the purseforum and its members on blogger.com. Do we all decide that blogger. com is a terrible, horrible, awful place and go on some other website and start trashing blogger? No. So why on earth would we take you and your multiple blogs seriously. You're a joke.
Michael Tonello only seems to pick on those that he perceives as weaker than himself. He does not like an equal fight, which is why he also hides behind his so-called anonymity on PFA. Keep picking on young girls, middle aged women and gay men. You'll find that they are stronger than you ever imagined. You'll get yours.
I know for a fact that PFA is run by Michael Tonello but I'd bet that the newer hate site(s) are copycats. The writing style is not the same in all fairness, I will only accuse someone of something that I know for FACT.
