...if it isn't another case of ripping me off without linking me up. Prince of Damnation, how apt. I didn't know the local blogosphere is so hard up for content these days, people had to resort to appropriating others' life experiences as their own in order to maintain their claims of being a writer.
OH WAIT there's more, here and here.
My originals here and here.
More pictorial evidence before his blog is removed:
Counting the one I discovered just last week and the lousy title this new one had given to my earlier post, I'm starting to feel the urge to render this blog private already...
Any ideas on how I can deal with this?

OK I've just gone through his entire archive and I've been ripped 8 times. Meh. Other bloggers who were also ripped: The Lakeside Girl, Son Of Singapore, Wit and Spit, are just some of the many I've managed to identify.
He really likes us dreamy writers eh? Maybe as a false projection of a romantic self for impression management in front of the ladies? *chuckles*

That is pretty fucking lame. Thanks for alerting me to this, Mykel. I'm not so much protective of work as just annoyed, because a lot of that writing came from the heart, from very personal experiences that some nobody dipwad on the web is co-opting as his own.
What a douche. Forget him.
just another fucktard..
has always been my fav wordsmith

eh ur agent here: tough luck leh, nothing on protecting ur intellectual property rights in Google's terms and services/content policy siaaaal. the only link that i have on infringement protects Google more than it does for the end user. So... unless u lock ur blog (http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42673&cbid=-1a4ne1c3aao0b&src=cb&lev=topic)u r doomed to share ur posts with prince of lamination leh. but like i said, we can try charging for workshops lo, or share the ladies lar. u have so many.
sheeesh! what a loser!
and he can't even write with proper grammar when he isn't ripping you off!
i pity you and your work.

Somehow the term 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' can't seem to comfort me. My words are all i have.
Plagiarism is such a vile thing.
public shaming would be the best way to tackle people like this. the blogging community and the larger society is pretty Durkheimian ya know? ;P
anyway, i have did my part in putting up front on the loser's "blog" that he is a fucking plagiariser.
Maybe visitors to Mykel's blog could also do that.
Also, exposing his real identity or at least the threat of doing so might help in putting across a stronger message.
how'd you find out that he plagiarized you?
