I don't really want to destroy Dunce's life by claiming many tens of
thousands of dollars and/or pounds of compensation for this theft. But
if he's allowed to get away with it, where will it all end?

Btw, haven't you and Dunce both recently expressed disapproval of what
you pretended was plagiarism? But plagiarism is apparently OK when one
of you two is the perpetrator.

Absolutely... when it is made clear that plagiarism has actually been
committed.

Question is: Do you? If so, then you know what you can do about it:
the same thing you could have done when I published "Betty" on my
blog.

You have to start with the letters to Amazon and Blogger. If you
remember Karla's case, you should remember that.

Just send the fucking complaint letters to Amazon and Blogger already.
You can't claim anything until you've done that.

> But

So complain to Amazon and Blogger. Let them look at the two poems and
decide for themselves if there's copyright infringement or not.

I've commented on your posting medeival lyrics under your own name. I
don't recall using the word "plagiarism".

I don't remember either of us saying that. Got a cite?

Surely you're not suggesting that George's reworking and
then publishing Peter J Ross's "Batty" doesn't shown any
originality? I believe it shows all kinds of originality
because nobody else has ever reworked and then published
Peter J Ross's "Batty" before. As old Goober often says,
"Credit should be given were credit is due."

I apologize; I misunderstood your question to Goober.
At the same I'm relieved that you were not saying that
George's use of PJR's work wasn't original because I'd
hate to see you suffer George's Divine Chastisement.

Aren't you the originator of this gem?

"Look at ME! Look at ME! Look at ME!"
Cried Corey the Borey, "Look at ME!"
"I've many a story 'bout me, me, me, Corey!"
(Someone, Please! Shoot this Seuss wannaBE!)

Your rhetorical splendor, such as it is, has previously referenced
deferential euthanization, and "Shoot" when viewed in context to me,
were you to understand the norm and nature of my experience, would be
seen as representing entreatment to projection towards me of some
nonspecific projectile. If anything happens to me, I'm thinking maybe
I should hold you responsible. Who knows who you know. Maybe you've
got connections.

That would have been this posts, and the ones before and after them,
MP, which I'm surprised you've forgotten already:

Since you bring up the subject of "originality", MP, have you written
your first song or poem yet, or are you still playing covers of other
people's original work?

Some examples of my original work are available through the link
below... do you have a link to anything original you've created, MP?

Just curious, since you brought it up.
----

The thread ended/was resolved, when you posted a link to your guitar
playing on Stevie Wonder's song "Superstition", which, while some
damned good playing, is of course as far from "originality" as a
person can get, Meat.

But, yes, you play a damned good guitar.

Your love-blindedness strikes again, Goober, because
it was pointed out that your doppelg�nger inserted,
in a mentally disturbed way, an unoriginal laughably
long list of Crayola's crayon colors into PJR's work
and your psychopath boyfriend even quacked about it.
I'm surprised you did not see that quacking, Goober,
because you've drooled on every other quack your BFF
has quacked since the day he waddled in the door.

I just quoted him, MP, others brought up subjects that he might feel

Oh dear, you snipped out the important part. Let me put it back:

Looks like you did get one from Harlan. I suppose it's better than having
to read one of yours and trying to guess who told you to have that
opinion. Thanks for your consideration.

Whoever "pointed [that] out" is in no good position to question anyone
else's sanity. It's pure delusion to think there's a "list of
Crayola's crayon colors." with more than 6,100 colors on it.

According to wikipedia, Crayola has 133 crayon colours.

Interesting list... I wonder how many colors or color names have been
phased out by Crayola... I know that the color "Flesh", as it was
called when I was a kid, has been changed, the name, not the color.

It's now called 'Peach;' calling it 'Flesh' was seen as racist. So was
'Indian Red,' which is now called 'Chestnut.'

In the table at the bottom of the Wikipedia article, the right-hand
column gives all the former names of the renamed crayons, and the next
one to its left indicates the 13 colors that have been retired.

Okay, I'll have a look at the Wiki piece... I was too sleepy earlier

else's sanity. It's pure delusion to think there's a "list of

Thanks for coming back to this, Will. The facts are: Ray Heinrich put
the Crayola colours into an earlier draft of the "Betty" poem and that
got it up to 70 lines. Now it's more than 3,070. I wrote all of those
by combining colors from vavious sources. I actually used two other
(smaller) Crayola lists, and all the obsolete Crayola names, from
Burnt Sienna to Ultra Yellow; but the amount inspired by Crayola adds
up to less than 150 lines in total: more than the 4 lines inspired by
PJ Ross, but still not a big part of the poem.
