Gonna need a source for that

5/31/2011 8:43:22 PM

good

post away Gronke

just don't be a dick

5/31/2011 8:57:35 PM

What'd he plagiarize

5/31/2011 9:02:40 PM

He was a respected guest columnist for the Economist and was doing a service by posting here on the side.

Then some trolls tried to strip him of the title. Bitter feud ever since.

5/31/2011 9:04:53 PM

since when is crossposting plagiarizing

5/31/2011 9:09:50 PM

i believe he was basically copy/pasting not only with no link or quote box, but also posting it as his own opinion

iirc

not that anybody cared a week later

seems like I remember a lot of personal IRL stuff that spilled over into the plagiarizing accusations.


After which it was just a general TWW pile on . . . . . . . .

That shit was probably the dumbest interwebz "controversy" I've ever seen. Holy shit, somebody posted something without a quote box around it, call the interpolice.

5/31/2011 9:34:40 PM

it was a "slow news day" on TWW

if The Hair had officially called out Michael Glapion on the same day, it wouldnt have made it to 2 pages

when someone forgets a quote box that's one thing...but when they copy paste someone else and pass those thoughts off as their own, it's another.

sure it happens all the time, but that doesn't make it any less wrong.

Yeah, it wasn't so much the plagarizing that really ran him off, it just helped start the fire.

6/1/2011 12:30:49 AM

what happened IRL that painted a target on this guy?

6/1/2011 8:35:15 AM

He's socially awkward and irritating beyond all reasonable measure.

6/1/2011 8:49:05 AM

Apparently GOD's trolling caused someone do get upset and do something silly and he felt really guilty about it.

6/1/2011 8:50:56 AM

I R troll because I R socially awkward dwarfish troll with girlfriend who looks like prostitute from Forrest Gump but doesn't smell as good

6/1/2011 9:16:26 AM

^^that's like a disney interpretation for a toddler of one side's actions, but yes

6/1/2011 1:15:01 PM

there's a certain amount of people on this site who hate him beyond belief--even considering this is an interweb message board, after all

6/1/2011 2:11:26 PM

stategrad100 is God.

6/1/2011 5:57:37 PM

Saw him the other day in Cary with a netbook.

6/1/2011 6:14:23 PM

^^that makes perfect sense.

6/1/2011 6:40:05 PM

just getting caught up on this story. I remember it vaguely but didn't realize the implications. what did he do that "hurt somebody in real life" or whatnot?

6/1/2011 8:32:56 PM

stategrad100

6/1/2011 9:14:01 PM

Assuming that you all are actually accusing me of being Gronke rather than doing that thing where when you view the thread it shows your name, then you are incorrect.

No, but we did have a class together which is how I knew him.

I think he significantly disliked me more than I disliked him. Go figure. So fear not, you're in the company of God and other titans if you find me incredibly offensive. I make the people who make people cry cry.

6/1/2011 9:29:28 PM

I'll go on record as saying I don't think Gronke is stategrad100.

I don't think Gronke is anywhere near approaching the stupidity levels of stategrad100 and I don't think he's smart enough to pretend to be that stupid either.

6/1/2011 9:35:35 PM

Thanks,
and as a secondary supporting argument to this point:

DUHHHHHHHHHH DUHH DURRTTERERFDDUHHHHHHHHHHHHH

6/1/2011 9:37:41 PM

I am GOD

6/1/2011 9:44:23 PM

yeah I already missed out on what I would have used as my new alias anyway


Chance

as in there's a chance that Gronke had a better Chance than I did at becoming a marine
