    Ah well. Some people just don't learn. That's so pathetic.

    Good review...i would have, but i can't be bothered to waste the energy.

    Maybe someone could send him a link to the plagiarism discussion thread.

    He wouldn't be able to read it anyway... Not because he is illiterate (even though I suspect he is)... But because Middy changed his ban settings after he was on the forum yesterday sending out stupid PM's or something.

    I say we send him AIDS.

    It's been more than 22.3 years -- therefore AIDS is officially funny!

    Anyone can visit forums and read messages. Banning means he can't post anymore.

    Actually I believe he can't even read messages anymore if he's signed in. He can only look at profiles.

    I went on ff.net and searched for trident\'s fics. Not too bad but whatever. Not the point. Anyways I emailed him and it turns out he was probably checking his email or he is a geek and on his computer 24/7.

    Me:

    Dear Tridentwatch,
    Can you read the posts on DLP? I heard you were banned or something. What\'s that all about?


    Tridentwatch: (quoted from memory because im too lazy to copy and paste)

    Hi. I can\'t read the posts because my ip was banned. I was banned for plagerising but the ff admins deleted it. Er... who are you?

    ------

    It went something like that. In the other posts some people say he was cocky and all that. It didn\'t seem that way to me but I dunno... What do you think I should reply with?

    He was also banned for breaking other rules, and disobeying direct requests from moderators and administrators to stop breaking those rules. We would tell him, "Please don't use 40 smilies in a row on your posts." then in the next post (even posting right after the warning post) he'd use 40 smilies.

    hm. Now I'm angry, why must I click on these links! Grr.

    This is one case where harrasment of a fellow 'writer' actually appeals to me. Does he have to rip off every good story? *glares* I can't stand plagiarism on a principle, but gloating plagiarism just makes me want to cause bodily harm!

    Why must people abuse what little intelligence they have?

    What did he plagerize his pyromaniac fic from? Burn baby burn? Pyro!Harry is a theme right? The art of war... fine that was plagerized but for this... Nah.
    Just let him be. Let him do whatever he wants in his own little corner I say. You all are just wasting time on him. Don\'t. It\'s useless and pointless and.... mean.

    Ban him and unban him so he can defend himself against all the insults but that\'s just an idea. I say we should forget all about this and move on. So he plagerized? Doesn\'t mean we have to be jerks and antagonize him with useless and crappy flames.

    I mean, this subjects been done to death, a few paragraphs from you isn't going to sway the ones who legitimately hate his guts.

    Yeah... people who complain too much... they *looks left and right fearfully*... they simply... *whispers*... disappear... *fearful shiver* ... the only proof that they even existed are their... icons *whimpers in fright while looking at the 'smilies' panel* :)

    *puts on drunken redneck hat*

    We don' take too kindly too your tahpes a-roundeh heurr

    *takes off drunken redneck hat*

    Disagreement is fine. Disagreeing with points that have been brought up and eviscerated in a different thread however, is not.

    And come to think of it, neither is blatant plaigarism! Which, oddly enough, is why we have two threads that touch on it as well as a giant announcement about it in Rules

    I agree that plaigarism is wrong and what trident had done was stupid and retarded. All I am saying is that we let it go and just ignore the guy. You all make such a big deal but I am pretty sure that he will just stop writing if everyone just ignores him. No reviews or feedback can be very annoying to an author after all, but flames will make a person bitter. Trident would probably continue his plaigarisms just to piss people off, but I am no expert or anything. That\'s just my 2 cents so whatever.
