[glow=black,2,300] I was just browsing the poetry boards over at kiwibox and happened upon a poem titled "The Key to My Heart". Thinking how weird it was that I had written a poem of the same title, I decided to check it out. It was my poem!!!!!  crazychick5042 posted it as her own. She rearranged the verses a bit and changed the set-up of a few things, but every exact word is my own. I am utterly disgusted that somebody would do such a thing and am seriously considering removing all creative works of mine posted on the internet. This sickens me. I'm seeing red at the moment and I have this beast tearing to get out of my chest so that it may hunt this "crazychick5042" down and rip her to shreds! Needless to say I am really really pissed. I'm rather surprised I was able to write this with no swearing. I should go. I should be getting ready for bed, but believe me, I will not let this rest. [/glow] |

Now she's making up some lame excuse. Such a bullsh*tter.
She's claiming that it was supposed to say "my favourite poem by a Kiwibox writer" but she forgot and then after she goes "oh and I played with it and saved it on word so it's a little different, I'm really sorry it'll never happen again" ... hmm mmm. And she reposted it with the little "it's by..."
god.

that sucks, maybe we should have a copyright on our words on here as well... She held no regard for you in any way shape of form. I am sorry this happened to you...

i agree that really sucks, take solace in the fact that no one can every really take your words, these are our feelings expressed in our way, it's our art, only those who can't imagine and feel, steal
peace love and empathy

Goshdarn! That's absolutely terrible! I really don't know why anyone would do that. I agree with what grifter said, and also, I guess, be happy that you wrote something worth stealing. But still, some people, eh?

[glow=purple,2,300]Well, you know how I feel about the whole thing... I just want you all to know that plagiarism will NOT be tolerated especially here at Serene Distraction. Should something like this happen again *knocks on wood* just know I'll do everything I can even if I have to send 100 emails. I already emailed kiwibox about not allowing her to post the poem as one of her "favorites" she really shouldn't be allowed to do that, ESPECIALLY without your permission. That's just wrong and I still can't believe someone would have the audacity to do that. [/glow]

Whoever the jackass was, I believe that they should be banned from the internet for such stupidity. As if the author wouldnt find out they didnt it anyway, especially on somthing like kiwibox. UGH! *mutters about finding a bb gun for some non leathal violence*
