Dude, come on.Not necessary at all... I upvote you JUST because I want this and my response at the top.
I get it. Because of how important steemit becomes to us, we catch ourselves doing something shitty. Sometimes, you get caught doing the same thing others are doing... but it's still different.
This is a big issue because the site is monetary in nature and as such there are attempts to bleed the money out of the system. @jpiper20 was excited by some success, and chasing growth, even though the results are the same,(he made a few bucks) the motives were not.
You know what the difference is?
He won't vanish
So... for you to post that tells me you either read his entire post and couldn't get past the word, or you saw the word... immediately saw something douchey you could say and said it. I am inclined to think the second.
In another post, he has already agreed to contact the author, offer up the rewards of the post in a manner suitable to the author, and invite him to join us here possibly as well.
I am fine with him. Honestly I never cared for the art stuff he put up too much anyway, so I never did much with it. I like his other posts, where he's talked about his summers or his hidden swimming hole. I don't think anyone will beat himself up more than he is thinking about it tonight. I would much rather he consider it done, have a good night sleep and come back with more of that.
Thank you Cleve. I hope you will still follow me on my future journeys.
I am here. No worries. I get why it's a thing.... but nail a guy to the fucking cross or what?!?!
Seriously, what is a reasonable punishment for this? Offering up the rewards received to content creator and having to work to regain some trust, or public flogging downtown steemitville!!!
Be fine with him, I don't care. Call my reply douchey - also fine, that's your opinion. Just to be clear: you're OK with the plagiarist and not OK with my simple observation that he spelled the key word in his apology wrong. That's how you want to roll, OK with me.
I actually find it hilarious that the uproar comes over my comment and not the person who achieved steemit stardom with unattributed works.
Oh and I wouldn't exactly say I 'nailed him to the cross' - melodrama much?
