Now... I'd like to tell you about a problem that you have. Which, by extension, I now have.
The problem is that you've been caught out telling some whoppers and that means no-one has any reason to believe a single word you say. Quite the opposite, in fact. More to the point, you've been caught out taking other people's photographs and passing them off as your own and taking credit for their instagram accounts.
Now you're telling us that you're this youth team footballer for Port Vale and that could easily be another lie. A good start would be to go do the beans thing with your Corsa. I'd also recommend an explanation of the second GTP account since users are only permitted access to one.
And by "recommend" I mean "require".

When reading through all this I figured someone should have big mental issues or too much time on their hands going through all of this.. It's 2015, no one should care whether you're gay or whatever. I know a lot of people still do and that's their problem. Nearly stealing someone else's identity is worse..

I don't even see why someone feels the need to mention whether they're gay or not anymore.

To me it seemed like a misdirection to draw attention away from the real issue of who this person actually is. That's just my take on it and I could be wrong.

It isn't beyond the realms of internet tropes for someone to masquerade as someone else due to being ashamed or embarrassed about themselves. Completely plausible. For whatever reason they feel that shame or embarrassment.
But there are still unanswered questions and threads which haven't been sewn up. Stoke, the location of Port Vale FC, is nowhere near Ilford, Greater London. If that's a claim which hasn't been redacted, it ought to be.

I am still not convinced who "Kudos" is and the story told.
Firstly, why would you lie about your age when you are still eligible to be on the website if your are that person who you claim to be.
Secondly, How is owning a 2010 "Limited Edition" Corsa is being shameful when people have worse cars than that.
Thirdly, you keep mentioning you are gay. That does not change anything as we live in the year 2015 where being gay is now openly accepted in society now and most people may have gay relatives or friends now. I haven't been on this forum for long but I have never seen anyone discriminating a person because for who they are and if they did they would probably got banned.
You are "pushing" people here as people don't care who you are but you still be respected in every way as long you are truthful.
Sorry for the long rant.

You have to understand that not everyone will... tolerate, for want of a better word, being gay.
I'm going to give Kudos the benefit of the doubt and say he is in a football youth team, hoping to move on to a professional team. This is what might motivate him to hide his identity in such a way as being openly gay in football has its affects, as discussed in this BBC article, which means that a footballer is discouraged from coming out.
I don't condone what he had done, but he had his reasons which could well affect his future. He probably saw a false identity as his only way to be open about his Sexuality, but had ran a little too far with it to the point where it came to this.

Homophobic terms have been used here, and yes the people have been banned for it. Not only that, but there have been all kinds of discrimination as well. They all resulted in the same consequence, but that's not to say they aren't there. They are just dealt with swiftly.
His reasoning for that is sound, in my opinion. Just because its widely accepted in this day and age, doesn't mean that there wont be any repercussion. Maybe he has strict parents in regards to sexual orientation, maybe he has homophobic family members or acquaintances. So I wouldn't say that its all that far fetched for him to feel that way.

I really am not good at getting in depth to the point, but I shall say that there are many people who have facades to hide their true selves with.
I have a gay best friend, and even he wasn't confident enough in opening up towards me, as he thought I would've just dropped our friendship right then and there. He tried to act as straight as he could back in high school so that he could fit in with the crowd, as well as get noticed.
He was afraid of rejection overall.
Even though LGBT rights have gotten better, there are still people who really don't like that at all. There is still discrimination against them, like how there is still discrimination against race.

So, I've just remembered a conversation I had yesterday with another GTP member on Facebook involving this whole thing. I think it may be worth mentioning.
The conversation is structured so it's me, then the other guy, the me, etc.
Also, apologies for any dodgy MS Paint skills.
*insert the conversation found from the M3cutters forum*
Some time passes...
The most important bit is underlined. This essentially confirms that I can't believe anything anyone says in this whole saga, but this whole gay angle could be another lie, even though there a lot of conversations between him and another GTP member that could be used as fairly strong evidence that he was.

I ono.. If you wanna try out being yourself on some forum or whatever without giving away everything about yourself, there are like a hundred ways to attract less attention about who you really are than the kid did here 
Don't give people more than you want them to know and don't give them reasons to dig into you.

I'm prepared to give @KudosM4 the benefit of the doubt now, it takes a lot to make the admission that he has. That's particularly true given who we now know him to be and the arena in which he performs.
I only have one tiny niggle of suspicion remaining (it's my age, you know), that will be completely eradicated once @KudosM4 tells me who this picture is of;
...his name has just disappeared from my mind... Y u do dis? Sowwie :c

@KudosM4 Some of your supposed instagram photos are those of Taylor Attrell, a second year professional at Port Vale FC. Port Vale play in Burslem, a suburb of Stoke, Staffordshire. Your location indicates Ilford, Greater London. That is a distance of 176 miles / 283 kilometres; a tall commute for a 19 year old footballer. And speaking of age, your PSN ID would indicate that you are 24 years old but that is merely a supposition.
Without knowing your IP address and any changes it may have, can you explain this discrepency? Are you Taylor Attrell?
I'm in agreement with others that it's difficult to know what is and what isn't true. If D, E and F have been proven to be lies, why should we believe that A, B and C were true? You've started to concede that some of your given facts aren't true. The sooner you come clean and iron out all the details, the sooner we can all put it aside and move on, which we all want to do.
