This is infact the purpose for toad...but:

This is an understandable problem. I myself will opt for booting the 
player before toading, expecialy if it's someone who can affect grades.

One solution is to use an alias when setting up your wizard accounts. 
However, for most of us it's far too late. You could @rename yourself but 
when someone else sees you typing and holds a conversation with you, it's 
kinda hard to avoid the situation. The other option is no to toad the 
person but demote them to a programmer. (difficult, but not impossable) 
However I can understand the complexity of the problem. I myself would 
make a lengthy note explaning the behavior of the @toad-ed wiz and mail 
it to the @toad-ie with carbon copies to your moo user list. (I assume 
you have one) This will explain your actions while at the same time 
assure all users that you do not like to do it, but have to.
