Rob-ert De Near-Oh

Spot the difference:

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

It’s got me beat. Still, I’m sure Mr Agreeable is agreeable to a little harmless plagiary.

    Well reading back it’s like you wrote a line from a carry on film! Ooh Matron!

    It did have more than a touch of the Kenneths about it. Come to think of it, I haven’t watched a Carry On film in years.

    I didn’t actually claim that fine article as my own at any point. It was a lazy copy and paste, and regretfully I didn’t attribute the article. I think I’ve said that before.

    If you don’t attribute, the assumption is it’s yours. “A lazy copy and paste” is exactly what plagiarism is, dear boy.

    assumptions make an ass out of you and me, etc. etc. You simply assumed incorrectly, Glenys.

  15. menace said:

    Ah, I see - I was incorrect to assume that what was written on your blog was written by you. In future, then, I will assume that what appears on 20six.co.uk/thumped, unless specifically stated, is not in fact written by you, but lazily copied and pasted from some unsuspecting original author. Zvest! Verily!

    No…you’re still not getting it chump! Just stop assuming!

  17. menace said:

    Stop assuming that what you put on your blog is your own work? OK. But in case anyone else is silly enough to assume that you write your own blog, you’d better put a banner at the top for clarification:

    “Please! Do not assume that the below is my own work! It might just be a lazy cut and paste!”

    That ought to do it.

    This one could run and run. I like to imagine that you are thumped and are just arguing with yourself.

  19. menace said:

    Surely if I was arguing with myself, I wouldn’t have won so comprehensively?

  20. thumped said:

    Won what? I didn’t realise we were competing. To me, its not really worth it as I made an error, obviously. I responded to this entry for two reasons. One was to defend myself from being called a thief and the other was to remind you that assumptions aren’t always accurate - as in this instance.
    I should say that a simple reminder would have sufficed.
    Instead, you over-reacted about an article which I immediately apologised for, rectified and never claimed as my own.
    It is the vindictiveness and bile you emanate that royally pisses me off (and countless others on 20six), thus explaining why this could “run and run”.
    All bullies need a little bullying back, I’m afraid, even though I really don’t have the time or inclination. Call it a labour of love.
    Betty: Thumped and Mr Ace are not one and the same (God forbid), although “things move around” could start an argument in an empty room so you’re partially right.

    I have to say, I think you over-reacted by blanking your entire blog. You could have just removed the lazy cut-and-pastes… oh, wait.

  22. thumped said:

    The blog ends there and I like to think that I’ve helped you feel a little more contented now. Being labelled a thief (for God’s sake) is a hard tag to shake. Throw enough mud and it sticks, you see. No over reaction at all.
