Plagiarism

[Judas Iscariot]

I thought you all might be interested to know that one of your members is posting plagiarized material on a different forum.




Letting in the Ghosts (my new piece) (http://www.uforadar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4108)

The house at midnight hums with consonants.
Particularly the air-handler’s lay
soothes me as seasons pass the windows―
summer slowly and winter’s frozen tracks―
I bless the steadiness of ems and ars.

Falls are less unruffled, they tic-toc on
gables, like some anachronistic clock,
a quick knocking in counterpoint, as oaks
forgo acorns in incessant metronomic drops,
and blown leaves brush against the windowpanes.

When in April comes the hour between the days,
a lull with lilacs from the dead ground grows
and through the open windows lets the ghosts in,
a redolence in all the rooms, almost seen
in moonlight―hyacinth, peony and rose.


Arse has an e at the end.

""Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society which increases earthquakes" - Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, senior Iranian Cleric" - this is true, by the way.



Far from blowing my own trumpet but please notice the musical use of assonance, consonance and alliteration.

Thanks!


Unless you're a 65 year old man who enjoys fly fishing and lives in florida, thats been copy/pasta'd from another website, done in Feb 2010.

Scroll down to the 5th post and you'll see it there, before the real writer removed it for editing.


how


Don't talk through your arse, woman. Thats what this poster had to say about the real author.


Post #9 from the first link...




So "smitten" that you'd post it here and claim it as your own? You talentless ****.


You're rumbled, just leave and don't come back.


You know what, someone ought to register over there and link them to this :lol: I'm sure they'd be rather dissappointed in some hack trying to reap the glory for someone elses work.


You've disarmed yourself from saying anything smart in this thread as soon as you called the poem 'dry and lifeless'. Don't you understand? I'm no fool, this was an experiment. I wanted to see if people on here would praise this amazing poem or whether they'd say it was crap, and in the latter case , whether that was just because Megadethly posted it. I wanted to see if there was a bias against anything I say and do.It was an experiment. The conclusoin? I was right, I'm always right.

And Bap, you talk a lot of **** and no nothing about literautre.


This must be pretty embarrassing. Suicide embarrassing i'd say


Really, stealing someone else's work and claiming them as your own is low life ****. And she has the gull to talk **** about American writer's and claim they have no longevity?

Nice investigative work, sir.

I posted this in the thread discussing the poem, but given that it hasn't been bumped since 2010, I thought it might go unseen.

Good poem

I ggogled my name and came up with a link to 'poems for 13 year old girls' on the top results - I don't know what it was about, but I got bored trying to understand

My name, my poem, was someone making money out of it? What is this website? Too confusing...

Anyway, did Megadedly get booted, did anyone find out who they are? What?

[PrinceMyshkin]

Would you please identify the site on which you found this? And have you reported it to the administration?

I did notice that another poem from this site appeared on "Hublines" but I didn't know how to access the alleged author of it there.

[Pendragon]

So it is happening again. Sigh, I thought we straightened that out long ago, but it appears new thefts are being committed. I had some of mine stolen last time. What is it, can't the people on these sights write poetry? :out:

this is the website.

I think we should all thank Judas for telling us about this. Good work.

[Judas Iscariot]

Oops. I thought I linked to the thread, but got my wired crossed and offered a link to your site. Yes, it is the UFO Radar thread. To the best of my knowledge she was not making money off of it. I believe she goes by TheDave on these forums. The main reason we came down on her so hard is that she has a superiority complex and is always talking about how great her poetry is while calling the rest of us stupid. Also, as a writer for my local paper, I know how upset I would be if I were to find out somebody was stealing my work.

Anyway, you are all very welcome.

Thank you, Judas (love the irony :))

Apparently you have to sign in to see things, there, correct?

Yeah, unfortunately you do.

And yeah, I thought the irony was pretty rich too - but that is actually my long-time handle over there.

[qimissung]

Are you saying that TheDave on this forum (because there is one) is Megadedly on the UF Radar forum?

[Judas Iscariot]

Are you saying that TheDave on this forum (because there is one) is Megadedly on the UF Radar forum?

That's our belief. I believe the story is that on the Megadeth forums she created a ghost account under the name TheDave and she also created one called Liberate on either the 'Deth forums or UFORadar. You'll notice both those elements are incorporated with her handle.

But I think TheDave has already been banned from these forums after one of your members paid a visit to our forum and read the thread.

[Delta40]

She posted a poem titled Your Talent on here yesterday.

Looks like that one is actually hers, unless she grabbed it back in 2010. There is a site she made with it on there from 2010.

How can we be sure that you're not TheDave, or MegaDethly or whatever?

I mean You've only made 6 posts with a strange name, you've appeared out of nowhere at the same time as TheDave's returned, and well, I don't know what to believe or even if it's worth bothering

If someone's determined to cause a witless stir for the sheerhelluvit they must be very sad, lonely desperados deserving of pity and a stint in the dungeon to straighten them out

There are a lot of internet nobodies who hide behind a stage name who have no provable ability nor hope of breaking their own sad tedious cycle, who despise the fact that there are real people with real lives walking amongst them

Maybe there should be a new cyber-psychiatric term for these bandwidth wasters, to differentiate them from the scammers and phishers and all the other duds that clog the system

Obviously there's something deeply wrong with them that any productive time is instead spent adding to the crazy - creating and participating in boring arguments that prove their worthlessness

Okay so you haven't done that so you're probably clean, but whenever someone starts a thread on plagiarism my first instinct is to think they're maybe trying to purge their own guilt

Also how can anyone be sure the 'plagiarists' on other sites aren't actually the original authors - there's plenty of nutso amongst writers (no offence)

You can be sure by having one of your mods check my IP address against TheDave's. The webmaster over at UFO Radar I'm sure would also be happy to do the same.

I can remember the first time I plagiarized something (in terms of plot structure)...

... and the thought of it still bothers me to this day. -_-
