Perfidious Plagiarism

poetic plagiarism

  an offensive treachery, 

    like a knife in the poets back

  not to mention,

             poetic suicide

perfidious act punishable

      in ostracized notoriety,

   appropriated hara-kiri

beware the caped crusader 

       fiend stealing scribbles,

   invisible holy roller ghosts

     holding cafe poems hostage,

poetic justice

    remains to be seen

[Rene Salinas]

I also decided to invest time in dedicating my thoughts to this peculiar dynamic. It dawn on me that I will be a bit pessimistic when it comes to Site enforcement mainly due to the fact that I have had experience and I know that very little can be achieved unless money , time and resources are put to it which is not something this site has in abudance. Left with pen a and paper so to speak it is yet another moment were one can show how one stands. In here it is very clear what Frieda is thinking about and what she believes in.

If you like writing then love it! and discover within you.

Thankyou

[Frieda P]

Thanks Rene, your words came through loud and clear...

[redflutterby]

Rene@ I don't believe the lack of site enforcement has anything to do with money, time or resources. Other small free sites who don't even use advertising or use limited advertising enforce the policies of their sites. Many use IP tracking to prevent or at least encumber those banned from the sites. In my opinion the administration of writerscafe do not care, period. They make their money off this site putting forth the least effort possible and go about their merry way. I have flagged harassing behavior, song lyrics posted as poems in violation of copyright law, and just plain objectionable acts and never received one response from administration. Only certain writers who have a "connection" with administration are important to them. And so as you said we are left with our own words to take a stand.

[Rene Salinas]

Thankyou for that Red. I thankyou for that response and I tried to put that in a more polite way. But of course I agree with you! and see the same and more...

[redflutterby]

Lol...im the resident big mouth, say it like it is kind of girl!! Im so livid over the thought of anyone taking another persons work. You cant love the act of writing and have no respect for another writers personal creations. And youre welcome.

[Frieda P]

I'll vouch for her BIG mouth ;)

[redflutterby]

You would know...hahahaha!!! ;-PP

[Rene Salinas]

Well Red so far about seven of his alliases are also suffering from poems dissapearing right left and centre. Your mouth only repesents the fervour of your passion. My nose is huge though so look on the bright side.....

[redflutterby]

Heeheehee....my nose is none to little either!!! ;-)

[Frieda P]

OMG you're talking to someone who works for the FBI ;) haha

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, Red...how can you love the act of writing and steal someone else's?

doesn't make sense.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i also agree, the owners of this site seem to care little about the poetry...it's like one of those tv stations with the constant advertisements.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i'm feeling perfidious all of a sudden...

[redflutterby]

Lol...you perfidious Jacob??? NEVER!!! ;-)

[Frieda P]

I concur......

[Rene Salinas]

To observe Jacob's development through this moment has been a thing of beutay and humour but let's not forget. Some of you, Some of us, We , I, when is all said and done love writing and amongst us there are those who are the Antigonistic. They don't love themselves nor do they care about anyone else needless to say then where does that leave their love for writing.

[Frieda P]

I suppose that doesn't supersede their lust for instant self gratification in stealing other's creations.

[redflutterby]

Rene@ they have no love of writing then!! Pure and simple..

[Rene Salinas]

Absolutely that's why they donlt see stealing or impesonating or devaluing or ........ as anything of importance. Sickening there is no upper lip stiff enough to remain unfaced by it . I will burn this feeling with pen and paper....

[redflutterby]

Im sure we will enjoy the results of your fire!!

[Trace]

Don't tell me Blueheeler is back?

I like your poetic rant.

Trace

[Frieda P]

I'm not sure who 'Blueheeler' is, probably one in the same, he has enough profiles here, there and everywhere.....thanks Trace.

[Trace]

Blue healer took one of my "Desires" poems from the other site I was on and posted it here as his own work. When I came here I found it and called him out.
He closed his blue healer page but still had another name here.
He also posted it at another poetry site and I called him out there too

[Frieda P]

Oh right, right write...now I recall, perhaps he is the same person.

[Lyn Anderson]

I am not surprised when you write a lot people are bound to steal your stuff. If I ever see something that looks like it was pilfered from a friend, I will tell them, and I am sure my friends will do the same.

[AprilRN1210]

What did I miss while floating away and fighting with a computer?.... love this song by the way... I had someone stealing my lines when I first joined and wasn't pretty aggravating.. but some people just don't have much creativity so they have to steal others... they usually get caught in the end... I always miss all the fun... grrrr

[Frieda P]

He's stolen whole body of other poet's work, not just lines, you know the culprit....

[AprilRN1210]

dang just read my review back, I shouldn't be allowed near a computer right now...lol
I do?.... really?.... hmmmmm... I dunno...

[Frieda P]

You still doing drugs? lol....c'mon girl you're smarter than the average bear, you know who it is boo-boo!

[AprilRN1210]

I have my suspicions... but ummmm, yea... I have seen it a few times with others as well... :P

[Frieda P]

They're probably all him!! He has numerous profiles here, and gives himself the best reviews. ;)

[AprilRN1210]

haha! I believe it... that is crazy.... some people, jeez.... don't they have something better to do...

[Daniel Eckert]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bad Human!

[Frieda P]

Very bad human!

[Benita-Staebell M - Kin..]

beware the caped crusader

fiend stealing scribbles,



It is annoying makes you feel
like you're famous when he steals
but I never want to be famous and didn't
ask for it he even
pretends he knows Jesus I think that is when
I started noticing and may of stopped letting him
see my work.


It will catch up to him and is a huge
Offence if you lie about anything with
your self and your life seems he's taking
our Ideas and pain and thinking he understands.



I hope it very soon comes back to him
it is going to hurt when he cries wolf more
and more don't think I believe nothing of him since
he steals and lies not even his life only that he lives
in the UK.


I really like this one but makes you very
Eerie of posting anything I wish I could
reach though this screen and slap his clear outta
his chair and flat on his face maybe he will fall very
soon very, very low where he needs to be he needs to learn
to be humble and honest before he can be a great writer as he
is only doing it for himself and he will get no where
with that at all.


Blessings. Benita/ kindred poet

[Frieda P]

I see you feel very strongly about this too, he's not from the UK, and yes he preaches Jesus, and hates American's, he's made that quite clear. He's a thief and a liar and he was found out, but he's devious enough to come back with a few new profiles, so we just have to be aware....

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

Ok yes I had a feeling the country was a lie where he's from also. but I don't think anyone cares if he loves or hates them by now but if I miss anything please let me know I feel he's lied about everything of himself. thank you

[Baby Ricochet]

I just heard about this from one of KL's poems. More BS on the WC. It's a regular day time soap story around here sometimes but without all the making out. WHat fun is that?

[Frieda P]

You know Baby, you've been around long enough, as the cafe churns, the continuing saga of....

[Fran Marie]

This like stalking our poetry....makes a poet paranoid who is he going steal from next..AMD how can we know if he is on another identity... Makes it bad for legitimate writers

[Frieda P]

That's a real dilemma, but he usually reviews himself, and gives rave reviews too....already noticed a new profile he opened up, he thinks we're all stupid, but if more people pay attention, they'll realize who it is...

[Fran Marie]

Ok..thanks Frieda..for the clues in your poem here..if I read it right..I read .."He Lied"..and said pay attention to the news feeds..

[Frieda P]

I'll tell you exactly who it is in a PM if you'd like....

[Fran Marie]

Yes, before someone new befriends me and it might be him in a New persona

[Frieda P]

He's constantly adding new profiles, you just have to be on to his style, he's pretty obvious once you get to know it...

[kublakhan27]

Ha, yes something has been strange in the neighbourhood lately Mrs.R...the site has felt very much like a witch hunt the last two days, not that I'm an innocent bystander by any means ;) As always, you nailed it...you always come right out of left field with some of these images and just blow me away...I don't know where they come from but the well is bottomless...and don't say I'm gonna jinx you by saying that anymore either ;) Your imagination is truly a wonder to behold...

For the record, I've been trying to get this review in for about forty minutes...between my computer and the lagging of this site, I've been able to submit no more than six reviews all day...you've gotten half of them...I think you know who your biggest fan is ;) xo

[Frieda P]

You're too good to me Benji....you're not alone, the cafe is jerking us all around, it's almost as bad as that asshat stealing people's precious creations. Thanks muchly, Mrs R is smiling like a silly girl. :) xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha That makes me smile in turn love, the only thing that could make me smile tonight really :) xo

[Jon Roggie]

In a way, I feel left out. Be that way! Steal from the rest of the poets!

[Frieda P]

Why, you want someone to steal your words too? :)

[Jon Roggie]

Knowing the works of those in question, I don't think I would notice. They draw stuff out too long!

[Frieda P]

I wouldn't know, he's one the very few I have blocked, he comes out of the shadows to attack on someone else's thread though....

[Jon Roggie]

Over the past couple of years here, I have only had a few comments. I just smiled and moved on.

[Frieda P]

I'm sure they were nice and benign, he has a list of 'nice' things to say he copies from I think...

[Jon Roggie]

Now that is a priceless statement, my friend!

[Frieda P]

No offense to you but tis true!

[Jon Roggie]

As many reviews from the parties in question, I would not be surprised to see a few of my lines make an appearance. I just pay attention to those who carry along a conversation!

[icelandicblue]

Lying liars and the lies they tell. If you don't have anything to write about just wait life will give you a swift kick for inspiration. A treacherous act indeed. No stolen snippets and poems are beyond your reach! Feisty.

[Frieda P]

WOOO look who it is, so good to see you Anne, it took the asshat's plagiarism to get you here! ;)read moreWOOO look who it is, so good to see you Anne, it took the asshat's plagiarism to get you here! ;)
As you can see not much has changed since you've been on hiatus...

[Jack Wolfe]

I became aware of this, this morning, very distasteful, and I hope an incident like this never occurs again here on WC. I think you managed to state your view quite clear, without mentioning names, very tasteful. Well done.

[Frieda P]

It's happened before, I'm sure it will again, it's not the first time he's done it either...thanks Jack.
