It's not necessarily aimed at you. It looks more to me that he meant it as a generic eastern European name.

Looks very close to the bone to me, no offense was meant I'm sure but he's effectively got the GM's name there plus a generic piece on the end.

Yes, but he's also spelt it Rachman and got "off" in there. I'm guessing the real inspiration comes from the composer Rachmaninoff. Unless there is a personal history I can't see why he would just target the GM like that :/

Didn't know the composer played chess :-) You're probably right 
just an unfortunate coincidence.

Aleksandr, I see that you have the "big title" by your name.... Grand Master!
I don't see that you have much to worry about... who is going to give greater credence to some random user? Relax, report the incident via the link at the bottom of the page, and smile as you press enter.

He does not mention your name .. real name or online username, so why think he is talking about you personally ?
He could have been just using that name as an example and not a personal attack.
Paranoia is powerul.

Rachmann and Rakhmann are awfully close and given that there is a GM Rakhmann on this site it's a bit unfortunate and he's right to question it. I'm sure NM Colding didn't mean any living person and he will change it, if he'd said GM Karparovskivilli and Kasparov was on this site as a coach people might have got the wrong impression too.
