Plaguarist alert.

So last night I decided to do some venturing, out in the virtual world of course.
You'd be amazed with the random finds while blog-hopping really.
Sometimes you come across the most interesting reads and at others, a hearty laugh. Some people are blessed with all the wit.
And of course on rare occasions, you chance upon one that leaves you gaping in awe.

Here's why in a bit.

Through multiple connections, I unearthed the biggest shocker. (I make it out to be some archaeological find but it wasn't really, more like chance encounter with resident of loserville.)
Maybe this isn't even worth all this upheaval, butI for one take plaguarism very seriously.
Forgive my incessant rants. Let me move on.

So staring back at me is this site, in the exact layout as mine. Yes we've heard that curiosity killed the cat, but it's no surprise that any human for that matter wouldn't delve further. Seriously I hadn't an inkling as to who this person was and how i got there. But reading the posts brought about an all too familiar feeling. And no, it most certainly wasn't deja vu.
Let's cut to the chase. There was this particular post that i read at least 5 times before it dawned on me; that the words used were mine!

I find out that this guy is some hot shot celebrity or so he claims.
Dude! Where art thou decency?!
First of all you don't pinch someone's words and accredit them as your own. At least have the decorum to quote should you have thought it inspirational or something!And for crying out loud, what happened to improvisation and an attempt at a guise maybe? Changing the title and adding a disclaimer does NOT make it yours and it does very little to hide your lack of originality. What the hell did they teach you in school?! Apparently you were the kind who copied your Math homework and English Comprehension simply cos you didn't know better than to do it YOURSELF.
And please. About your fans encouraging you to write because you excel at it?.. HA! now that's a joke. You're making a mockery out of yourself mister. Makes me wonder if any of the posts were even YOURS to begin with! You don't steal from someone else's cache, which is why you've got your OWN. Evidently you haven't made use of yours. And at that age, with your given status, give your wife something to be proud about would you?

Keel in shame, you're disgusting.

Your ambiguity and anonymity (A name doesn't mean much without a face to put to it. Really, i could be peter, paul or philip and still continue to be anonymous) intrigued me.

Blog-hopped myself today. Didn't find copies of my words. Perhaps it's not polished enough. You know what i hate more than plagarism? Being misquoted.

In the mean time, I made a discovery of my own. Found a blog with pics of a Kam and a link to this blog. Argh! Minus 50% curiosity now. Don't get me wrong, the pics were great. But imagine reading/watching a thriller and knowing half the ending.

And yes, I'm 83yrs, and 9 mths to be exact. Have a wonderful day.

haha. you crack me up seriously. and i don't even know who you are. at least on my end, i'm still intrigued.

and boo, now you know how i look like. i still don't.
and one thing's for sure. you aren't going to do anything to change that.

Let's just say, I'm not gona be anything close to what you expect. Not what you're thinking. My ego and self-confidence is pretty much up there. But no, you'd never guess. I've got you more curious now haven't I. hehe

Well Kam, since you've decided for me, what the hell, I'll leave you hanging. But if you'd really like to know, ask, and I shall reveal.

bloghopping can never fail to amuse one.well,it doesn't in my opinion :) from finding works of wisdom,wit etc; its no surprise you have actually found somebody who may have plagiarised your work.and that's rather low if you ask me.but hey,you gotta give it to mr copycat.he sure has good taste.your blogposts somehow remind me of poems that don't really rhyme but sure do make alot of sense.and what's more,its all coming out straight from zee heart.beautiful if you ask me.

raj: you're mind boggling. and it's keeping me on my toes. and how exactly DO you know what it is i'm thinking? if it is, i'll take my hats off to you mister.

a part of me wants to know and yet there's the other part that wants to be strung along.
and being the indecisive queen i am, i can't make the choice.
what do you reckon?

'nise: why hello! i'm glad you popped by whoever you are. and thank you. those are kind words.
well im not done with mr copycat as yet. he's got me really peeved and i intend to rave and rant a lil' more. thanks for dropping by. do visit. :)

ok i apologize. i'm guilty of stereotyping. i have no idea what you're imagining.

BUT, something you said in that last reply tells me what you're thinking already!

i'll stop playing this annoying game and let this matter rest. even if i were to show you who i was how would i? put up my email address/picture/friendster id here? then the million others (yes there's a million) reading your blog and comments will know who i am too.

Besides it's your blog. and i feel like im hijacking the comments section already.

raj: i'm almost always guilty of that too, up or notch or two. but i'm not as hoity toity as people perceive me to be.

who says there are a million viwers? now that's an exaggeration. i happen to be very low profile. which explain the absence of links, and comments from outsiders.
with the exception of you and some visitors of course.

hey knock yourself out. have a field day. this section is all yours.

and how do you intend to let the matter rest? with a disappearing act?
