as i say...how can someone sleep at night, knowing he or she has pawned off someone else's art as his or her own...

we should perform a play like in Hamlet..."guilty creatures just by the cunning of the scene..." etc.

but -----it is so unfortunate.

[Frieda P]

I haven't a clue Jacob, whilst we awake at night, pondering poetry, he's out stealing it, soulless creature no doubt, thing that really cracks me up is he preaches the word of God, I guess he forget about a few commandments...

[Vidya Bacchus]

This man has done so many people wrong and apparently it matters not.Sad chica, Great pen though :)

[A. Amos]

Love the song and the read...stealing someone writing is like killing that person...as its not any kind of material thing, its simply is hard work which include passion!

[Frieda P]

The man has no passion, compassion or soul! Thanks A....

[A. Amos]

If someone know the art of writing and he or she is stealing...that is really cheap! You're most welcome FP.

[ron]

Yup it sucks when someone steals your writing. I think we all know who this is about. Great job Fried

[Frieda P]

Thanks ron, was wondering where you've been these days...as least he's gone now.

[ron]

Well at least for now hes gone. I almost wish he was here so we could see all of what hes up to. Now we have to hope he doesn't come back with another fake ID to continue what he has done.

[Frieda P]

I'm pretty sure he knows what's gone down, there has to be one of him lurking about the cafe......

[NoelHC]

Oh, yeah he/she is still lurking, very quiet right now, but one alter ego is still on the site. Semper vigilans, y'all.

[Frieda P]

It's like a full time job trying to keep track of this slime....

[ron]

I wish we could get him on intellectual property theft or something.

[AYVID N]

Oh my God. I never knew. I respected this poet so much. He did not have to do this. But glad you brought it up Frieda and so poetically too.

[Frieda P]

Seems he had a lot of people fooled Divya...thanks muchly.

[AYVID N]

In fact he came down hard on a collaboration I once did with Cyntax and I was very much in awe of him. He surely did etch a formidable picture of himself on WC. Is all his work lifted from other writers or only part of it?

[Frieda P]

He sure did, most of it delusions of grandeur in his own head. I'm not sure if all of it is deleted, much of it here, but I doubt it, he's moved on to another site I've heard through the cafe grapevine...

Vaillencourt's name is Villiancourt now

[Frieda P]

More like mud...

[redflutterby]

Blech that a-hole makes me sick!!! I hope his thing falls off....ugghhhhh.....

[Frieda P]

Now, that's a review.............

[redflutterby]

Ha...probably doesn't have his own anyway... ;-D

[Frieda P]

Eww can you steal one of those too? haha

[redflutterby]

Hahahahaha....ewwwww....ughhhhh....

[Tree]

Hard to believe this, Frieda. If this is true, I mean his intent, why would he do that? Author of a bunch of books? I feel duped in a way. I even commented on his Coffee House poem, thought it was quite good. To find out it's not even his? This guy's been around a long long time, why isn't he defending himself? Before I say too much, or condemn anyone publicly, I'm going to look closer at the poems in question, and if true. You need to be thanked by all of us for bringing this to our attention.

[Frieda P]

He's not defending himself because he's guilty, the administrators removed one or more of his poems, and he proceeded to delete quite a few on his own, his account is closed now, but he still lurks in the background, and I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up with another profile....if you check the web, it's all over the place, there are many links to follow....

[icelandicblue]

A pox upon him. Does he not know that he steals bits of us when he does this. Could you message the scoundrel's name or name so I might check and see if I made it into his stolen box of chocolates. If he's got a chapter on heroin we all know where that come from!

[Frieda P]

The link is under the video Anne, but there are plenty of others where that came from...

[icelandicblue]

Ah he tried to friend me multiple times (like 10-15). He creeped me out big time and then we had that fight about veterans and serving your country a couple years ago and he said he would piss on veterans' graves...so I told him I hoped one day someone would piss on his grave...and he still tried to friend me, really? That was a clue right there.

[icelandicblue]

Oh Oh you've have probably read this I am late to the game but seriously.....

"I have won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. I have also won the Nobel Prize for Poetry. I am NOT self-published, but I HAVE been published in thousands and thousands of publications on and offline."

[Frieda P]

I recall, I was part of that fiasco, that's why he hates me, well...he basically hated on all Americans....Yes, don't remind me, I'm just getting over a stomach bug, I'll be sick again....

[redflutterby]

Pulitzer Prize in Poetry??? Oh good lord...that just made me roll my eyes right out of my head!! He sure thinks a lot of himself...like I said I hope his thing falls off!!!

[Tate Morgan]

Well we all know what it is to slave over a piece I dont know what it would feel like to find that work attributed to anothers name someday online. But it would be quite painful I would imagine. If we stand for this we might just as well say we are slaves working for nothing to enrich someone else

[Frieda P]

Nope, you don't mess with a poet/writer's words, that's sacrilegious!

[Tate Morgan]

agreed it is
