Hope They Are Gone

Plagiarists are very wrong,
either in poems or a song,
not a way to try get along,
my standpoint's so strong,
hit them with a loud gong,
their actions never belong,
they can hurt like a prong,
back again, won't be long!

I stand by the action we took to rid the site of one who took advantage of every poet who commented on his posts. We were duped by a liar, and if anyone thinks calling him out was shameful.... He shamed himself. I forgive anyone who is repentant, once, twice, 77 times, but one who is sorry does not repeat the sin as he did. Let the bloggers have their say. I have had mine here, where I feel it means more.

Well said Lin, the current blog is meant to stir the pot (as per usual) and is totally going off at a tangent and readers are missing the point. I hope they ban the poetry thief for life for bringing the site into disrepute not once but twice - and for what his own glory. Yes you are right to comment here and not give the blogger more smug self satisfaction

Having read the blog it looks like we are in the minority in our thoughts. Tania, Bravo for speaking out:-) hugs Jan xx

You're welcome. Being part of the minority doesn't mean we're wrong. It means we were not afraid to expose that cliched "wolf' in poet's guise.

I join you and Tania in your thoughts. His plagiarism was despicable, and more so since it was his second attempt, but it was the lie after lie that he told each of us who praised him for what we believed was his own creations that I found more offensive. Let the bloggers defend him, and they are defending a liar. There was all the proof needed for us to point a finger. We are not a Kangaroo court, and there is only one who will judge a liar. That blog is divisive and should not have been posted for it adds drama to what is already a contentious atmosphere.
