 Shoeboy Is a No-Talent Plagiarist

 Author:  Topic:  Posted:

 Comments:
As many of you know, one Shoeboy, Adequacy editor and database hacker, made an April Fool's day post to the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List) over 6 months ago. Most of it was based on a certain piece of writing by yours truly, Trollaxor. This seems innocuous enough except that Shoeboy, in using my work, was plagiarising.

[editor's note, by shoebot] Trollaxor is leaving out a few key details here. The most important bit was that I fully admit to being a plagiarist. I am also completely aware that I have no talent. But at least I have a girlfriend/surrogate mother whose bosom I can weep into like a frightened girl. I have deleted most of Trollaxor's diary because I am ashamed and embarrassed.

This looks suspiciously like something I posted to alt.support.tourette back in '89

Why don't you two have a slapping fight to figure out who's the manlier man?

(Honestly, do you expect us to care?)

I do expect you to care. Shoeboy is a plagiarizer!

"Imagine that, even the synonym can be taken to mean steal. And that's exactly what Shoeboy did."

Imagine that, even the synonym can be taken to mean murder. And that's exactly what Shoeboy did.
