What we most hate…
Filed under Just Me
…are copycats.
Is it just me?
Or why is it that this girl's posts seem hauntingly familiar?
Sigh.
Maybe I should be thankful that friendster is stingy with their bandwidth.
Updates: Hey I really appreciate all the support I'm getting but I want to beg my readers to stop hurling insults upon her. All right? Let it be. It's over. More updates (and a surprise!) tomorrow!

Wow, you sure have a lot of riled up fans. Look, its no big deal. We take a lot of free stuff off the internet and other people take our stuff. I’m alright with it as long as they don’t use up my bandwidth through hotlinking the pics. Articles that are not copywrited are assumed to be free for taking. This was the driving spirit of the internet. What happened was uncool, perhaps, but not that big a deal. I have more articles plagiarised than most bloggers so I know what I am talking about. Let’s forget it and move on to bigger things. Gee, suddenly I sound like a liberal.

This proves your blog is good enough to be copied. It’s an indirect compliment in some ways. That’s my 2 cents. You rock, Claire!

I think it’s really uncool what she did but I guess it’s really up to minishorts to do something about it. Going on her blog and banging her … well, I kinda think that’s uncool too.

yay!! she deleted her posts (the ones she copied)

It’s a good way to flatter and insult you at the same time. I dont understand people who need to plagiarise blogs, for heaven’s sake

i think she deleted her friendster account!! now i feel horrible…

I don’t think it was just you. i think it was all the flaming she got for what she did that made her delete. did you see the number of people who read minishorts regularly that went to her “blog” to flame her? some went to the extent of commenting on all THREE posts that she copied leh! she got lots of people very upset cuz minishorts is so popular and famous mah. I just hope she doesn’t open another account somewhere else and do the same VERY SAME THING again.

i did not wish for Kris G to delete her account but i do hope that she apologised to you.

Excellent goods from you, man. I’ve take into account your stuff previous to and you’re simply extremely excellent. I really like what you have got right here, really like what you’re stating and the way by which you are saying it. You make it entertaining and you continue to take care of to stay it wise. I can not wait to read far more from you. That is actually a wonderful site.
