I was going to write some poetry tonight but decided against it; I'm just not good at it I guess, and whilst I've had a go here and there on the blockchain I think my efforts have paled into insignificance when compared to that of others here. 

What I *am good at* though is helping people to see things clearly, especially within themselves, and that's what I did tonight. 

**The story**
A user here was called out by a large account as a plagiarist. Typically the user denied it, hit out at their accuser (and down-voter) and played the victim. Same old same old, and so it goes.

As it happens the plagiarist hit me up on discord, essentially to say hello, but I knew there would be an ulterior motive considering the recent shenanigans; The downvote which they were all up-in-arms about. *How dare someone downvote me...Blah blah blah*. 

I wasn't very helpful because I was quite angry at this person for plagiarising on their posts, and the reaction they had made after being caught out. I told that person NOT to write another post about the downvote. They ignored me and did so. That was early this morning. 

Later in the day the user contacted me again asking for my thoughts on the matter. Here was my chance to hit this user with both barrels (A shotgun term.) I could now *lean hard on this person* and either get them to reflect upon their decisions and actions and address them, or not like me so much so that they would leave me alone altogether - Either result was acceptable to me.

I started off calmly enough but after a few messages from them declaring their innocence and anger at getting that downvote I had had enough and leaned *super-hard* on them. 

You see, they were wrong. Wrong to plagiarise, wrong to defend it, wrong to lash out at their accuser, wrong to threaten to leave the platform, wrong to take the high-road when their behaviour belonged in the gutter with the trash. Just wrong.

**Reflection**
After some initial dialogue I started to get through to that person though and they asked what they can do to save themselves (the account) - I'd pretty much painted a picture of their fetid, rotting steem account hanging from a gibbet at the crossroads, a skeleton covered loosely by thin skin stretched over it, sunken eyes, limp grey hair clinging to the skull, a dribbling nose and stinky shit seeping out of an anal sphincter too loose to hold it in...

...That's when the questions came...*What do I do to fix this?*

I asked the question in reverse hoping to get them to find their own solution but I didn't have the time as Faith had dinner almost ready...So I simply said *apologise*. 

Amusingly, the person apologised to me, but it wasn't me I meant...It was to the community and the person who had called the user out, the one who had been attacked for doing so. 

I'm not sure if the user will push out an apology post or not, however I feel it to be a legitimate way to acknowledge the errors of ones ways, publicly, to announce ones intentions to do it better, thank the account who called them out and to offer an apology to them and the community in general. 

I don't know if it'll be enough but it may be a way to wipe the slate clean, demonstrate ownership for mistakes made and that they respect the community enough to let go of pride, hubris and ego. Maybe the community will give them another chance?

I don't know how I feel about it all. This user is someone I had previously voted on and to be honest I'm angry with them. My discord text certainly reflected that. However I believe that people deserve a chance and that this could be a good way to put oneself at the mercy of the community; It will work out or not, but at least in doing so there is a *chance* this users' steem account won't end up hanging in that gibbet I mentioned earlier. 

I was pretty firm tonight, but managed to get this user to reflect upon decisions and actions made previously and to at least *think about* a way forward. 

I am a strong believer in self-reflection. I wasn't always good at it, but as life, and its experiences, started to earn me some wisdom and I stripped away ego, pride and hubris I began to get good at self-reflection; And life took a serious turn for the better. It's not always comfortable to do so and it takes a lot of ownership, responsibility and honesty to do make it work but I've rarely been disappointed by the process and results. 

So, do you think I was right to push so hard? Should I have simply have left this account to die a slow death in the *plagiarists gibbet at the crossroads?* I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

Thanks mate, yeah I reckon I did. I mean if I didn't help out maybe they just crumble and fall away...It still may happen, but at least I tried a little. Time will tell I suppose.

In my opinion I think you did a great job of giving him an idea what to do. I was amazed that even though you're mad of this plagiagirist you still gave him a nice response. Well, maybe a public apology will be better since we steem as a friendly community. Anyone is allowed to have another chance. Who are we to judge to them if we don't their real story. You did good but I hope he will not doing plagiarism again.

By the way, wonderful wrote up. I managed to read it all because it made me want to read it.

You’re wrong, you are good at poetry; β€œI'd pretty much painted a picture of their fetid, rotting steem account hanging from a gibbet at the crossroads, a skeleton covered loosely by thin skin stretched over it, sunken eyes, limp grey hair clinging to the skull, a dribbling nose and stinky shit seeping out of an anal sphincter too loose to hold it in...”  haha it might not classify as poetry per se, because it is more entertaining lol. 

It is good that you hit him with the truth, obviously he was looking to you to convince himself that he was right, so hopefully your response made him see things more clearly !

Haha, thanks mate, I like that bit too...

I hope the user does the right thing. Time will tell. I'm not good at pandering to people's bullshit...I call it out, like I did for that user. Let's see how it goes. Huh? 

Have a good weekend.

We all have to learn from our mistakes. The problem is that sometimes people need a figurative "bop on the nose", a glare and an "Oi! Stop what you're doing!" in order for people to really wake up to themselves, us included.

There are no guarantees that people will listen, but something needs to be said.
Smart people should see it as a course correction, and over time build up their reputations again.

Plagiarism and then lying about it isn't going to pay off long term anyway.
It would have been better if this person tried to make as best quality content as they could, adjusting and making better content over time based on feedback by the community.

Downvotes are a way to claw back ill-gotten rewards, so you reap what you sow.

Yep, me too! It was handled well by the accusing account though, a witness...I have a screenshot of the comments. I'll see how the plagiarist reacts to my *motivational efforts* and what their account does before I hope they redress their behaviour and move forward.

Sometimes the pursuit of rewards lead people in the wrong direction I think. It's also *easy* to steal someone else's effort rather than put it in themselves. We'll see how this one goes...They may have done irreparable damage. Time will tell.

You're not good with poetry?
Instead you wrote us a story
that doesn't end with vowels,
nor with "both barrels".

You showed him mercy, 
when he did plagiarise
you offered him to apologise
picturing his sunken eyes.
He did apologise, didn't he? 
To you maybe, but did he, 
to the community?   

About the story though: I'm curious about how hard it is to recover from being flagged for plagiarism, concerning payouts, reputation and such.

Haha, you're a poet! 

So yeah, it can be difficult to come back from plagiarism here. We have a long memory. It's made worse by refusing to address it I think. Justifying it or lying about it is just as bad as doing it in the first place. 

People forget that nothing is hidden on the blockchain and that someone is usually watching, especially once someone is exposed as a plagiarist. 

Theres's no rules but for me a *heartfelt* apology will go a long way towards helping to redeem oneself...Then to never plagiarise again of course.

I'm not sure how things stand with that user but I distanced myself. Here on the chain *guilty by association* is a thing to some extent, as it is in the real world too. It's unlikely I'll follow that user again for various reasons however I'll keep an eye on them and my pointer on the downvote button for sure. Conversely, if they do the right thing I'll upvote. People need a chance to redress their errors.

In this particular case there are other extenuating circumstances that I'll not go into that relate to that *association* thing I mentioned. I hope that user goes in the right direction because if not their days are probably numbered as the community will address them.

I wouldn't say so... I just like words, I guess? 

True that the blockchain isn't the best place to do such things and try to cover or deny them. It  seems to me you had the best approach to the problem, perhaps you were too kind even. This said, I would never blame someone for being too kind.

It feels good to know people are watching.

Where have you been man? Welcome back mate! All good here, just rolling on as always. Hope things are well. 

Yeah, I was firm, some terse words were written...Let's see what that person decides to do with it. Either way it makes no difference to me but I took the time because I had helped them earlier and to be honest I felt disappointed and angry they'd been found to be a plagiarist. I unfollowed them and may never re-follow. 

Anyway, hope you and Audie are well.

OMG you have GOT to be $%#@%&$ KIDDING me!!!! 

WHAT is the universe trying to tell me?!!!!!!

Really, this is getting out of control now! No self-promo here, but I literally wrote about how poetry has been harassing the sh!t out of me the past few days.... and I decided to do a post earlier, revisiting some of the older stuff I wrote (for multiple reasons)... so I thought, ***"ok, I have done it... now that NAGGING little voice will be silenced"*** but I have literally crossed paths with 3 more poetry posts since I hit the publish button...

My apologies, this makes no sense to you LOL.

Right, let me put my head back on - because it got lost in symbolism for a moment again.... and I had not even got as far as reading your post... ***let me do that***....

>I'm just not good at it I guess, and whilst I've had a go here and there on the blockchain I think my efforts have paled into insignificance when compared to that of others here.

HA! I said the EXACT same thing to myself earlier... but others told me otherwise. Perhaps you should let other people be the judge :)

>What I am good at though is helping people to see things clearly, especially within themselves, and that's what I did tonight.

We have that in common :) "***HI!"*** ;)

>So, do you think I was right to push so hard?

# YES!
***No question about it! you did the right thing - now stop second guessing yourself!***

Was this an "artistic" plagiarist by any chance?

I think the good thing with poetry is that it is really an individual creation and so unique to the writer...But that's also the bad thing as most people are shit at writing poetry and they should possibly stop doing it...Which is why I haven't done any for a long long time...Lol. 

I'm fairly pragmatic and in cases like this plagiarist (not artistic by the way) I was fairly relentless, not in an abusive way, but to make the person see their mistakes clearly...That or to decide they didn't  like me and them leave me alone. We'll see how it goes huh?

# Shitty......

I laughed so hard I think I peed a little. @pooky-jax too...!!!

@jaynie is right...... Poetry is hard. *Beer*

Weird thing is.... I actually had a beer after that gem of a lego poem I struggled to create on Your previous post. 

After the beer, I went back and made it better...... With a 29th edit LMAO.

I can drive the shit out of an 18 wheeler..... Poetry..? Not so much.....

Howdy sir galenkp! You definitely did the right then by being blunt with him and totally honest. He deserves another chance but it's up to the community to give it to him if he apologizes to everyone. 

By the way, ever since you talke about cross-posting I'm seeing that everywhere now, it seems like everyone is doing it!
