The Highest Form of Flattery: Suitably Flip Plagiarized on ESPN Forum
Oh, I feel so used.
ESPN.com user "Alaska_Fan" had this to say earlier today (in an apparently meandering thread about the St. Louis Cardinals):
... For the record sure I support what Clinton, Schumer, and their safety-come-lately ilk were suggesting (namely that the sale of the majority stake of the company that controls these ports needs to be blocked, or at least further studied). What sickens me is the idea that they want us to believe such suggestions were representative of their actual positions on national security. The newfound zeal for protecting our homeland was borne of nothing more than political expedience. Why else would these legislators so regularly vote against our security, in instances when the administration is more squarely on the pro-security side? Make no mistake, their positions are driven almost exclusively by a directive of blind opposition and future campaigns, rather than any affirmative, principled agenda. ...
I must say, Alaska Fan makes some good points. So good I feel like I've made them myself. Verbatim. On Tuesday.
Luckily, "maddash1946" has my back:
Everyone. Do a search for what Alaska just "wrote" on this site: http://www.suitablyflip.com/
Dude! Plagiarizing a website?! That ain't cool man.
You didn't write any of that crap, you STOLE it from someone else and never gave them credit. You're a liar and a thief! LOW man, that's LOW.
I believe this was my first plagiarism (inbound or outbound). Is there some kind of ceremonial rite I'm supposed to perform, now that I'm a documented plagiaree?

Update! You have been unplagiarized. The post now begins with "ACCORDING TO:" with a link to your site. And ends with the following disclaimer: "edited for the purpose of obeying our National MLA Format standards..." You must feel like an idiot, just full of sound and fury... I do not suffer fools gladly. God that guy is just so adopted all the time.Posted by: Dickey | Feb 23, 2006 5:43:25 PM
Mmm... retroactive deplagiarism. That hits the spot.Posted by: Flip | Feb 23, 2006 6:22:57 PM
That's nothing. A guy I know posts on a comic books forum under his real name. The author of that particular book (Green Lantern maybe?) recently used him as a throw-away character - he got eaten by a crocodile. Clearly, we're posting on all the wrong websites.Posted by: Nor | Feb 24, 2006 10:35:13 AM
Good day! I've recently found an excellent way on how to lose belly fat fast and get abs It is called Abs IQ – http://www.absiq.com P.S. The program was developed by Bogumil Gizewski a former top fashion model who went to become a top celebrity fitness trainer so he really knows his stuff when it comes to burning fat and getting six pack abs. I was very impressed with all the knowledge and tips he shares in this program. Also I would suggest you visitPosted by: wredIeptews | Mar 21, 2009 11:43:09 PM
