    He didn't plagiarize... he just wrote something that was very similar and it was specific enough to be obvious. I'll see if I can find the post/article.

    But he reposted it while stripping the original attribution. Twitter *is* his personal website. That's where he lives. It just seems like a use of his power that didn't have to be that way.

    :lol: Nah. Luckily I'm so insignificant not even the people angry at me stayed angry enough for long.

    I'll fuck it up worse next time.

    Look, I know people here think I'm as jackass; I'm just here to have fun.

    Uh, Bones....? Your coach is in Pasco. I suspect he is a bright guy, but do you really expect him to know who Canzano is? Or even care.....?? Just don't piss off the sports columnist for the Pasco Bugle....or whatever it might be called....

    This "controversy" got the photographer more notoriety than if Dame had given credit initially, so now the dude should thank Dame for his role.

    Probably. No publicity is bad publicity.

    No one thinks you're a jackass.

    Now me on the other hand, everyone knows I am.

    So you're saying the only thing destroyed is the title of this thread?

    Personally, I don't really care one way or another, and I don't think any differently for this. I just get tired of Canzano, and I do think the photographer is a bit ridiculous.

    It reflects what my hair looks like now (though that's still not me). I have a bright red mop top undercut.

    I'd change it if I could. Would that make you feel better?

    So that would mean instagram would be his personal website, facebook, etc.

    Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are impersonal in way more ways than it's personal. We are putting out there things about our lives. And unless otherwise noted, nothing is for sale. This picture wasn't for sale. Now, I do believe credit was warranted. However, I'm sure Dame isn't the first one to just retweet a picture of someone elses work. And he won't be the last, celebrity or otherwise.

    Forrest gump was a smart man, he said "shit happens."
