    Woah. I didnt realise he ripped off so many works. I just ignored his posts most of the time and never entered his story threads. That is, until that Art of War shit started.

    Hence when I saw him browsing member profiles, I removed his ability to see anything. I was hoping I was just being paranoid.

    Maybe we should tell him all of this? Like send him an email with all of our threads concerning him because I don\\\'t think he is paying attention to DLP anymore since he was banned. It\\\'s just bad form to flame somebody behind their back, but I would be a hypocrite myself if I said I have never talked behind people\\\'s back before so....

    And on another note: Does anybody know how to fix this slash problem I have with my browser? It\'s freaking annoying the hell out of me trying to find the problem. I swear I have downloaded more anti-spyware things today than ever...

    You should probably try to mess with your keyboard/language settings (if you changed them), I don't see what else could it be...

    He's using Windows 98 I think, so it's probably some fucked up winsock dll or something. Google it.

    Sorry I got no idea what you could do, apart from starting safe mode and running Ad-aware SE personal.

    Inside YOUR closet. Go check.
    The guy truly is pathetic. He sits in the corner copying other people's work because he is apparently incapable of a single original thought. Send him the threads at his e-mail and set up a bullshit e-mail account to get his response (so he can't send a virus). Tell him all this including this post, and post his response. I would like to give the pathetic little shit a chance to defend himself. That's just the way I roll.

    That said, there are few acts more deplorable and sleazy than passing other people's work off as your own. And regarding his whole arguement about fanfic being inherently plagiarism, it isn't. A.) We acknowledge all credit to JK with a disclaimer B.) The characterizations and situations while based on other people's work, are changed into something new and original and C.) It is not based on theft (unlike his work where he tries to pass other people's writing as his own.)

    Give him a chance to respond.

    Also, he should exist in fandom in a state of infamy (at least on this site).
    Give him his own emoticon. (Perhaps a smiley with a pen in its hand peering over the shoulder of a sidewise smiley that is at a computer.) It will be used to designate something unoriginal, cliche, or at worst, plagiarism.

    I personally think it wasn't too bad with the plaigerism situation because all though he copied the original plot ideas he changed them to make it his own. Read his fics and look at it.

    I'd rather not, because I have read a bit of his Art of War, and it SUCKS!!!

    Ugh, he thought it would be funny. He actually asked me what I thought of it and I said what the fuck. He totally ignored me, asshole.

    I always wanted to say he sucked cock, and that he blowed every story ever while he was here, but thought I would have been bashed to hell and back.

    Really?

    I thought he wanked to kiddie-gay-midget-fox-beastiality porn.

    Or at least thats what I glean from his writing... Freud would have a field day.

    Heh...Freud.

    I just watched Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure for the first time a few days ago. That was, to my great consternation, a hilarious movie. What happened to make Keanu Reeves loose all capability of emoting basic emotions? He looks like a fucking stature compared to how he was in that movie.

    Freud...i liked the Freud that they had in the movie. That is all. Goodnight.

    Okay...this is off topic, but since it's turning into randomness anyways, i thought 'what's the harm'.

    On topic:

    He changed his name to 'rainseak' or something, once agian exhibiting his bastard nature. And he compiled ALL his stories onto one...it's like a clusterfuck of different things happening.

    One thing i thought all of you should read. It shows his obvious skill at characterization:

    Dear Lucius Malfoy,

    Hello old friend. I am back and in action. Come to America for riches and treasure. Do not disappoint me. I will find you as soon as you land on this blasted land.

    LORD VOLDEMORT AWAITS


    Right. Here's one that I wrote:

    Dear Albus Dumbledore,

    I hope you die, you meddling old codger. I'm having to use some squib to write this letter right now since your golden boy Potter kicked me out of Quirrel's body. And i would have stolen it, too, if it wasn't for those dratted kids!

    Wishing for your death,
    *enchantment kicks in on the letter, causing Vader's theme song to play*
    LORD VOLDEMORT!!!

    I think mine might be better, despite the Scooby-Doo reference. Ideas?
