Guest hardyz1 Report post Posted June 21, 2003 Hey, check out this document I just finished. I dunno, it seems like a good guideline for a new type of government I'm thinking of creating. I'm thinking of calling it "The government where everyone's free and stuff." Feh. That'll never work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted June 21, 2003 OK, so that accounts for the owners of the site and the writer of the original article for being angry. Why is everyone else treating the guy like shit? Its not like he didn't anything to the rest of you. I am just saying that you guys can be like a pack of wolves chomping on an already dead horse. Maybe they respect the integrity of the site and its writers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted June 21, 2003 I don't consider plagarism on an internet website as severe as in an academic setting. It was lame of him to do this, but its really not that as big of a travesty as everyone is making it out to be. I sure as heck don't think of him as scum...of course I don't write for/own a website. Well if you were the guy who wrote a very good article on a website, only to have it stolen and re-posted by someone else I don't think you would be happy. No matter what the writing/column was for, someone put their time into it. I know how long it takes me when I write a lengthy column (at least 5-7 hours writing time, not mention sitting through the show which could take another 3) and if anyone put their name on TEN hours of MY TIME, they would be quite high on my hitlist. OK, so that accounts for the owners of the site and the writer of the original article for being angry. Why is everyone else treating the guy like shit? Its not like he didn't anything to the rest of you. I am just saying that you guys can be like a pack of wolves chomping on an already dead horse. So what you're saying is that because what he did didn't directly affect most of the people around here, they don't have the right to be offended/angry? By that logic, it'd be wrong for me to hold something against a thief since they had never done me specifically any wrong. Like I said, and like Rob said as well, it's the fact that anyone who's ever taken on the task of writing a column knows how difficult it is and how much effort must be put into it, thus it's quite upsetting to see someone skip over the difficult part and head straight for the praise portion of the writing process. This discussion is getting pretty pointless, so it may just be better to agree to disagree on the subject. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted June 21, 2003 there is nothing to agree about. those who piss on the plagiarist are right. those who defend him are wrong. besides myself, dames, the original author, the writers who actually devote their hard work and energy into writing ORIGINAL columns, this guy offends the reader also since everything he writes (or copies) is written under the pretext of falsehood. fuck him. not only did he lie to me PERSONALLY, but he lied to every single person who wasted any time in reading his article. yeah, plus he insulted AS!

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted June 21, 2003 heh, you sound like Marney.

Guest Cancer Marney Report post Posted June 21, 2003 it just seems kind of silly to devote 6 pages to calling someone a cum guzzler, especially since he left the board on page 2.

Guest Spicy McHaggis Report post Posted June 21, 2003 Just had to weigh in... it's good to see fellow Journalism majors jump on this kind of moronic behavior. In an arena that offers a great deal of exposure to aspiring writers, every act like this hurts our collective credibility. Plagiarism bugs the shit out of me. Seriously. When I put in all kinds of time to build up a portfolio, and I see shit like this, it bothers me to no end. I'm proud to say I've never plagiarized... even though that shouldn't be a credit, it should be expected. Oh yeah.... ... dude's a total cum guzzler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul you can Email me, PM me, or even post it at UGS if you want but you OWE your friends an explanation. I realize the lazy-ass thing I did by plagarizing, and the stupid thing I did by crediting myself with it's creation.... There's no excuse for my being a lazy ass to take someone else's material and use it as my own, and lie to you guys as well.... I have been too busy with my personal life and I made a quick decision, which was obviously the wrong decision to make, and that's not only inexcusable but unforgivable....

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2003 Hey Rob, I don't know if you're already aware of this, or if you yourself are behind it, but TV Tome is using your Confidential reviews for it's episode list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted June 22, 2003 I didn't even know TV Tome archived wrestling shows... Thanks for the tip, I'll have to look into that. Although, I'm sorta flattered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted June 22, 2003 I just looked and DrV is right. I would be flattered, too. TV Tome is a swank site... although, now, they are plagiarists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted June 22, 2003 Actually the 16 year old "lead editor" of WWE Confidential is. Not to worry though, I have already e-mailed him and requested certain changes be made within 5 days, or he will no longer be the "lead editor" of ANYTHING. I actually agree with you Adam, but since none of the TV Tome users know *I* wrote the reviews, it really doesn't do me any good having my shit on their site.
