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...

That bloody d****e, word stealing idiot... Honestly, people like this piss me off and make me so mad. I mean, I could on and on about the idiot and the idea of stealing someone's words. When you plagiarise someone, you don't only take their words but apart of their hearts and world too... We write what we feel, we write to purge feelings, we write to get help from people who have been there or to help people... So stealing our words is stealing a piece of us too.... 10 words that make such an impact, excellentaaa!! xoxo

[Frieda P]

Thanks noodlebumble, the wicked witch is dead or so I've been told, he's gone......x

[s y e]

Ding dong, the witch is dead... The wicked witch, the wicked witch!!! ;-)

[Frieda P]

He is a ding dong... ;)

[Bright Ocean Star]

:) We have no proof he ever had one, though! :)

[Frieda P]

LOL...bad star. ;)

[s y e]

Bahahahaha, that's funny. Good one star!!

[Bright Ocean Star]

I love you two! :) He's a piece of s@#$! and I'm not wasting any more energy on him. :)

[MAC]

too late....but if you look him up online you will find he has a long rap sheet

excellent write as far as it being a poem though!

[Frieda P]

Thanks, so I've heard through the grapevine, let's hope he never comes back...

[Michael G.]

Strong, well said statement. I missed the link the first time through, and couldn't understand who you and everyone else was talking about. Then I found the link. Do you know any of the other names he goes by?

[Frieda P]

The accounts of all those I was made aware of have since been closed to my knowledge, be on the lookout for new and improved profiles though, he's been doing this for years and has somewhat perfected his cunning facade.

[Michael G.]

Thanks, Frieda. I appreciate all the work that's gone into this. A thief is a thief, no matter what is stolen. If he comes again, how can you tell it's him?

[Frieda P]

He has a certain MO...reviews himself like mad if he opens a new profile, gives good review too, not the benign stuff he uses on everyone else, I'll let you know if we're on to anyone suspicious.

[Michael G.]

Thank you. Interesting personality, in a sad way.

[Frieda P]

I'm not sure if 'interesting' covers it....ha

[Michael G.]

Lol! Dr. Hyde was "interesting" in a macabre way. An his alter personality was . . .

[Frieda P]

I don't find him interesting at all, sick in the head sociopath is more like it...and I'm not talking about Dr. Hyde either lol

[Michael G.]

Can't, and won't, argue with that! Have a great weekend, old friend. Nice to talk with you again.

[Frieda P]

Ditto that Mike...good to see you around the cafe these days.

[Briana O'Connor]

Amazing! So much expressed in so few words! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful masterpiece.

[Lyn Anderson]

Poetic masterpiece. Interesting choice of phrasing.

[writing mojo]

so this is true? wow this guy always looks at my stuff...guess it doesn't matter I change and prefect my stuff monthly, so my table scraps are for the taking..

[Frieda P]

You might not mind him grabbing your table scraps but he's copied entire poems from other poets, yes, it's true...

[writing mojo]

that's fucked up...that came off wrong..my bad.. what i met by table scraps is I am my worse critic nothing is ever finished ..so how can I find such a hole that this snake in a grass roams outside of the cafe..?

[Frieda P]

If you google his name, he shows up all over the web...check out the link first, go from there.

[writing mojo]

I will do so..

[Frieda P]

I'm shocked he still shows his face on the cafe, the man has not one iota of shame....

[writing mojo]

yeah i thought he was a good guy..how can he be banned?

[Frieda P]

I don't know, the administrator don't seem to give a hoot if you steal poetry, just if you have something sexy on your profile or a poem and it's not rated mature, they blame the ad people...

[writing mojo]

messed up..i wonder if i got hacked by a hack...he has like 6 books published and this stuff is other people's work?

[Frieda P]

I know, I don't get that either, perhaps he had the knack and ran out of things to say, so he figured he'd start stealing other's creative spark...who knows?

[Neville]

A Kat just warned me about this very issue... I have taken heed and acted accordingly, N

[Frieda P]

She has the list of all the faces of Sybil or Eve, whatever he's called these days...

[Neville]

Hey Frieda, is it true that this geezer has copied entire works and placed his name on them? Where can I check this out? Surely the date stamped copy-write would provide some means of gaining retribution if anyone wished to pursue this option, or am I just very tired and just a tad delusional? N

[Frieda P]

I have a link posted above....under the video, and there's more or so I've been told.

[Neville]

Umh, it would seem there is a certain body of evidence that makes one first wonder and then to doubt this particular individuals credibility, intentions and purpose... Any idea how long this has been going on for? AGT's for now N

[Frieda P]

He was kicked off of Hello Poetry some time ago for the same reason, I'm not sure exactly how long....there's more than one person that makes these claims, his name comes up quite frequently if you check the web....

[Frieda P]

The administrators already removed one or more of his poems, and he himself went on a cleaning spree, that spells G U I L T to me....

[Neville]

Yep, it certainly does my friend. I am going to check his work out here though just out of curiosity. What a prat eh....

[Frieda P]

Prat is much too kind....

[Neville]

lol & very loudly at that......... I don't seem able to pull up his work on this site and wonder whether he has been removed, whether too much attention has been generated between you KLG and several other or I am just spelling his name incorrectly...

[Frieda P]

I have him blocked, so I'm no help to you at all, I'm pretty sure the kitty has it all....

[NoelHC]

Still on this site as of a minute ago.

[Frieda P]

I just threw up in my mouth a little....gah.

[NoelHC]

Check your RR ma'am. : )

[therisa]

Dang, away almost 4 months, and I missed all of the excitement. Remind me, Frieda, not to piss you off. My poetic soul may be found, among the cafe's morgue.;P

Seriously, no sites dedicated to the arts, need maroons like this. Am glad, I never had the toxic experience of meeting this person.

[Frieda P]

Consider yourself lucky...I'm really a pussycat, unless you yank my chain. ;)

[therisa]

I do, Frieda, having met similar creeps, on other sites. More likely to avoid people, than confront them, something I need to work on.

[Rita L. Sev]

Was just alerted in a pm about this... was always a bit put off by the fact that there was little interaction, other than either a criticism about Americanized spelling, or an impersonal comment - also, loads of RRs and never a thank you... ugh. Your ten say all that needs saying, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

I think a lot of people were on to his shenanigans but he never seems to go away, he's like a blood sucking mosquito, except he sucks up other's poetry....

[Lydia Shutter]

The world is so much more than smoke and mirrors....and people need to realize that. Eventually, the culprits are caught. I liked this short and powerful write. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

He's been caught, problem is he's still rearing his thieving head at the cafe...thanks Lydikey.

[Zahra]

OMG... thank you for sharing this link. And a clever, well put write this is

[Frieda P]

We've been talking about this since the summer, but apparently there are still a lot of poets that aren't on to this low life, thanks Zahra.
