My Reviews

[TheUsualSuspect]

Some of my reviews contained Plagiarism from other authors. I would like to apologize to those who read them. I have gone back and editted those reviews, they do not contain said plagiarism. I plan to post more reviews, but whether or not you choose to read them is up to you.

Again I'm sorry and hope that this does not change the views that you have of me, whether good or bad.:(

Naturally it starts you off with a bad reputation, but who's perfect? I'll give it some more time before I judge ya.

[TheUsualSuspect]

I accept that fact that some people's views of me have changed, I just hope that people here are given second chances.

[Strummer521]

As far as I have seen, they are. Just don't blow it. I think third chances are a little harder to come by.

[TheUsualSuspect]

I would think so.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

Coming clean took some steel. Good for you.
Do it again, we take a finger.
For now though, it's forgotten.

Don't sweat it, we can't all be original and everyone plagirises somebody at some point.
Anyone that noticed and gave you a hard time has too much time on their hands, I would love to say that I'm always original in my reviews, but I'm not, at the end of the day I'm not being paid to be original in my views, so what the hey.
Kudos for owning up, but the folks here at Mofo seem a pretty good bunch, so don't worry.

So, what you're saying is... plagiarism is cool! :up:

As long as it's not causing any bodily harm.....
Actually I just plagirised that quote! :eek:
I'm away to flog myself, well it is Friday night,rrrrrrrrrrrr!

Maybe you'd like to re-phrase that? I wouldn't consider even writing a review if I was resorting to 'outside' help. Seems utterly pointless to me.

Suspect - It took a man to admit that, well done. Your reviews all have a singular style now (which was the reason I became suspicious in the first place). :)

Ah ha, so Tacy is the resident Sherlock.....

OK, what I meant was I try not to plagirise, but I'm sure I've " borrowed " quotes from the back of my mind that weren't originally mine. You can't help it sometimes, I read a lot of movie mags and reviews, phrases like visually stunning are not mine, but can be quite an apt description of some of the films I watch, I am a very visually motivated person(damn, I'm plagirising somebody else again!), and I never knowingly plagirise or copy other peoples work, but I think its inevitable that certain phrases or quotes will eventually find their way into my reviews.
If what TUS meant was that he was copying word for word someone else's review, then yes I agree that is not the best idea in the world, but we were all young once, even you Tacitus!
From now on I'll call you Kojak, hey who loves ya baby?

That's what I thought you meant, which is why I thought you'd better rephrase it. :)

I'm not a blinkin' detective ok? (Well, maybe Clouseau) I've just marked far too many kid's essays over the years and I'm afraid that these stuck out like a sore thumb. All's right with the world now. :)

[Pyro Tramp]

Did you mark mine?

I have no idea how i got AAB

Using common phrases isn't plagiarism.
But taking some else's time and effort at writing and putting your name on it is theft of intellectual property, no matter if it's a young person who does it and no matter if it's posted on the web.

Sometimes, I should just leave certain threads alone! :yup:
I now realise that I wasn't in full possession of the facts, and I think I might just run away from this one.........Jaberwocky! :eek:

Thanks for being honest, everyone is entitled to a second chance. :yup:
