Bete Noire

April 2, 2008

A plagiarist is lurking beneath the shadows of Multiply, and I can’t help being speechless in a retarded kind of way.

He/she/it copy-pasted two of my blog posts: Zzz, and A Spark of Intellect (his/her/its usage of the A Spark post is hilariously out of context). That’s not all, though. Apparently that, um, creature also saw fit to make the rounds in other i.ph blogs and take their works without permission and reference. Lizette, Witssuzara, and Dowmeng are notable victims. Even the "about me" isn’t an original material. That one is from the defunct kimochiwarui.

  

I’m baffled. If such, uh, entity admires our posts, then why doesn’t that, uh, piddle write its own material instead while having us as its inspiration? Is it such a chore to write imaginatively? I don’t think so. I find that writing is like being a conductor, and I wallow in what I orchestrate, however horrible that may be at times.

Curious? If you have a Multiply account, you can add that twit and find out yourself. I tried that, and the twat wasn’t very discerning about adding strangers. What a stupid and desperate degenerate.

Linky.

(Thank you, Aileen, for informing me)

Kadiri to death! Hehehe.

I wonder why he didn’t plagiarize me. Maybe that’s because I’m not good enough? Lol.

I remember when I was plagiarized. Fricking stupid people who can’t even think for themselves.

I’ve already reported to the Multiply administrator. Not that I expect it to make a difference, but at least I did my part.

For what would be that uh, i don’t know, need a blog for?

You should at the very least deserve an apology from him or her.

it happened to a lot of people. the plagiarists use multiply. i don’t know what for but this one is not new.

My post on the bar exam results was even copied. Not all, but certain paragraphs. He copied one paragraph from me, including the top ten lists wherein I highlighted the cebu topnotchers. Then he copied from the internet news releases. I am not mad at him though, nor did I point it out to him when I visited his site.

I’m not angry either. A more accurate description of my feelings is that of a pity.

lolz hehe.
i wonder if anyone has ever plagiarized me. wait, maybe that same person has already!

Maybe if he’s survived Multiply’s authority or has found other places to post our materials, then he might plagiarize you.

Because his account was cancelled. I think the Multiply administrators shut it down.

Hope he learns his lesson.
