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.
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?
Did you know what he meant to say? Some people have skills in other places. Spelling is not always one of them. Let's not alienate people on that. Communication is about conveying thoughts. If you didn't know what he was trying to say then that is one thing. If you did then these comments are best left in a classroom where your job is to teach people how to spell. :P I've never met anyone perfect at spelling. Even so... many of us misspell words we know how to spell when we are passionate and typing fast. I call it fat fingering something. :)
He corrected the spelling and his post is better for it. It is interesting to me how seriously people are taking this. I actually didn't say one negative thing about this individual - just pointed out the key word at issue was misspelled.
And you're right - I misspell words all the time when I'm wound up - I guess the difference is someone pointing it out wouldn't bother me in the least.
@geocurt, I'd say that you're still a bit early to the game to be chiming in and slamming someone with a much higher reputation than yourself. A bit of advice from me to you...this comment wasn't a good idea.
Oh gee - I didn't realize I had to be here for awhile before I could comment.
Slamming? Pretty melodramatic characterization.
Higher reputation? In what sense? What was that reputation built on? If you're suggesting that a person who admittedly has passed off other people's work as his own has a higher reputation than someone who hasn't, well then this system is broken anyway. My reputation has nothing to do with a number on this website - has to do with how I conduct myself.
And by the way - I'm entitled to my opinion. Words matter and the misspelling of the key word in the entire post speaks to the level of care taken.

Thank you Cleve. I hope you will still follow me on my future journeys.

Yeah, no need to pile on.
