I'm a member of another blog/forum that I use rarely. I'd posted info trying to promote a writer's newsletter. I'd stated clearly on the post who the newsletter was from and linked to their website. It was the sort of newsletter that has information that's been passed around the web a few times and the person who compiles it acts as though it's original exclusive material from them.Guess what? In this month's issue of the newsletter I'm featured.It takes something to liven up the newsletter which is worse than the TV for repeats. I'm glad I'm featured on it even though I was called an idiot by the editor, because now I know that the editor can't read. A few lines the editor wrote in the rant about plagiarism referring to an
Plus I wouldn't want to subject you to his insipid prose and atrocious poem about erectile dysfunction. No, I'm not making that last bit up. I really, truly wish I was, but I'm not.
For your enjoyment, this is the poem...
The Problem Is
A problem I experience
which isn't halved when shared.
A definite inconvenience
which cannot be repaired.
There is no medication
no remedy, no cure.
There is no dispensation
so the problem will endure.

that's what I suffer from,
the inability to get excited
about a political referendum.

You will notice that there is no reference in that poem about the inability to achieve penile erection or to maintain an erection until ejaculation. Staying with the topic of dysfunctionality and editors it is interesting to note that at Answers.Com one of the definitions of editor is
A person who corrects written works as an occupation or writes opinion-based columns.An addition to that definition is that an editor should be able to read.

Brilliant! I am feeling all smug and superior with you. :)
hails I might just forward a copy of the entire newsletter on to you, but that might be what is called plagiarism ?
You could send it with a disclaimer. (If you send it without one, I'll report you.)
Reported me yet? :-)
Oh that's really funny. I hope he finds out what a numpty he is... red faces all round!
english mum, for some reason a Northern Irish expression [I assume] comes to mind and it's 'that'll harden him though the editor starring in this story is a 'her'.
