HE LIED

HE LIED

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson
"

plagiarism and murder isn't much different in the minds of writers ...

"
On a lofty pedestal he sits.
he criticizes, analyzes;
pontificates
on love and war.

If vows can be made
at an altar, while lies
dance behind the eyes,
a total stranger can do the same ...

altered identities,
questionable entities,
veiled hostilities --
multiple personalities --
plagiarism caught and denied,
how many people will it take
to realize
HE LIED.

Plagiarism to me is theft...pure and simple. And I will hunt down and destroy the sorry piece of s**t who ever steals my work. Seriously....as Frieda will tell you I should work for the FBI...I have my ways of finding things and people. Believe me the idiot would be tarred and feathered for the entire internet to see. No one who claims to be a writer would ever steal another persons words!!!

I also should point out that when this has been an issue before ive seen fairly popular writers comment saying they don't really care if someone else shares or takes from their work. Well to me its that complacency that contributes to the problem. We all have to be vigilant otherwise its not taken seriously. If you don't care about your work why even put your name on it? Just sign as anonymous or unknown and share it for everyone to use. There was a time when plagiarizing or cheating was considered to be a shameful act and maybe its societies increasing complacency that gives so many the idea that its no big deal!

love the last stanza.... and know how much it hurts to see someone else steal your words... I think this one and Rene's piece are sooo brilliantly written on this subject... hopefully they get the message.... but sad part about it is, they usually don't....

No, it shouldn't, but apparently it hasn't stopped him from serial reviewing.
Plagiarism is very serious to real writers and those who do it automatically lose all credibility…


I actually got accused once just because I co-wrote a story dealing with a amp ire in a cemetery and this other person did too, that was the only similarity.

Whoops that was suppose to be vampire, LOL
Granted, I am often oblivious to the actions which happen on the site. I just come here to write. That being said, I hope I have never given a kind word, if they cause this kind of anger, and pain.

This is great!

On another note, after reading some of the reviews of your poem, it seemed like a lot of you know someone who plagiarizes other's work, and/or harasses people. Is this person currently on the site?

Very well said but I know one I've
blocked that wasn't truthful that was all about
himself only wanted my reviews and to be at the
top and care nothing about hurting
others so I block the guy.



and I agree I've a long time ago not on
here but on a site friended someone and she
was really Mental and learned wasn't too sane
and she told me she was put into a mental hospital
and not heard from her since but no one hurts me since
I have family the crazies back off I have a older brother
and sister that don't live too far
from here they are in Georgia also
and my family is very protective but since then I
am very careful of who I friend I let God guide me and if something
isn't right I walk the other way I don't trust too easily
it was a lesion for me.



Thank you for sharing my friend and I hope you're
having a lovely afternoon.
