About me and plagarism.

The BBQ Pit
#1

This is why I need to do vanity searches more often.

I am Kleebner on the SA boards and I cross-post often. In fact I think that the thread was made more to make fun of me for cross-posting so much than to actually accuse me of plagiarism. Heck, the one time I did copy a thread, I said that I did so in the OP.
The last link that was posted by Trigonal Planar was not so much the copying of a thread, but just some links. I don’t think that spreading links to neat stuff qualifies as plagiarism.

Ever since I was last accused of plagiarism, which I still insist that I was misunderstood and the accusation was wrong, I have been very sensitive to any possibility of such suspicions. I hate to post stupid forum drama threads like this, but since the last thread was closed, I have no choice.

No worries, mate. (I always wanted to say that. ;))

I remember the thread (accusing you of plagarism) when it first popped up, and I think by the end of it I was pretty convinced that you were not a plagarist. But, I don’t blame you for making a statement such as this and clearing the air for good.

Oh, please, CanvasShoes. It’s quite obvious to me, and to most here, that this guy is a plagiarist of the highest degree.

Who is he trying to fool? Not only does his claim require us to believe that he’s Frank Herbert, but also that that esteemed science-fiction author has returned from the grave to post to the Something Awful forums. More ridiculous a story I have never heard. Seriously, MD, the name has GOT to go.

Of course, I didn’t read the thread in question, so it’s entirely possible that I may have missed something.

:wink:

All kidding aside, don’t worry about it, Muad’Dib. You came out of that thread looking just fine, and nobody with any common sense whatsoever would call you a plagiarist for copying something you wrote in the first place. Hell, I wrote every single thing I’ve ever written, so if anyone’s gonna get in trouble for that, it should be me.

Also, yosemite, I have no earthly notion why I wrote CS’s name while thinking of yours. Must be some kinda Freudian thing. Maybe it’s because I see you both in a lot of the threads I post in, and you’re both female…I think…and, um, you both have eight or more letters in your usernames.

Or maybe I’m just an idiot. :smack:

I hope that was written with an appropriately Australian accent.

I’ve gotten my American SO into the habit of using some of my Australian colloquialisms. In return, i sometimes say “zee” instead of “zed.” I still refuse, however, to say “erb.”

#6

This has been in the back of my mind for some time. I’m 99% certain of the answer, but asking you could put it to rest — possibly for someone else as well. Are you the same Muad’Dib who is a moderator at Stormfront?

#7

No, what is Stormfront?

#8

It is a message board maintained and frequented by white separatists. I’m a bit surprised you didn’t know that since some of their members fairly often, and rather famously, visit and post here. Especially in Great Debates.

#9

Stormfront is also the title for the Season IV premier of Star Trek: Enterprise. If I weren’t a Daily Doper, and a multi forum reader at that, I might miss the periodic SF invasions, too.

Or, Maud’Dib could be using a feint within a feint. :eek:

Fear is the mind killer…

#10

What do you mean exactly? Is that a threat? A warning? An insinuation? Are you going to drink my blood?

#11

Why’d you get rid of your lovely red title? :stuck_out_tongue:

#12

He’s the Kwisatz Haderach, give the dog a bone…

#13

I actually never had one. The guy did not know how to code it right, so it was small and black. Like his soul.

I had forgotten about Stormfront. Geez, hasn’t it been years since there was a big influx of trolls from there?

#14

No, it hasn’t.
