Plagiarism? Flattery? Or just plain sad? | .Rossi refuses to admit he was a disgrace to humanity

it all makes sense now. I've generally considered Rossi a crappy poster for the most part but he does come out with some funny stuff from time to time. Mystery solved.

Definitely a thread that's destined for the classics.
 
It'd be great if a replica of this thread turned up elsewhere too, exactly the same except that Rossi wasn't the culprit.

How many more freaky weirdos are lurking in the shadows like plague riddled rats, ready to feast on the pure hearts of normal, honest, hard working internet users.

Anyone who thinks that this is acceptable behaviour, just remember [insert famous atrocity/massacre/genocide] and tell the mothers of the victims that it was just harmless fun.

Plagiarism is that well known gateway drug to genocide [citation needed], anyone selling it around schools should be hung.

Don't be surprised if I suddenly become or appear to be a highly intelligent and more regular poster in the football forum this coming season. I have a plan oates, say nothing though.

Mum's the word BP.
 
I'm going to pretend to be Rossi and keep copying everyone's posts now that I can get away with it, my plan will never be foiled *maniacal laugh

no everbody you stole post from on here did

Enough of this though how do you score Rojo as our best player over the whole season that's the big question?

Translate Rojo from Spanish to Italian and you have your answer, the sneaky Argie defender is nicking other people's posts and posting on here as cover just so he can big himself up in the matchday rankings ;)
 
What I've learned from this is that the collective Caf' is only third best newcomer or whatever it was on Utd Forum. Oh and the phrase 'face the music' I hadn't heard that before I don't think.
 
As an aside, I've nicked a few jokes from here and cross-posted them on another forum. Gifs too. Nothing like to the same extent but only because I post so much on here I post very rarely anywhere else. Probably cross-posted 10-15 times over the last few years. Does that make me weird too?
 
I'm just glad none of my posts were stolen. I'm a terrible poster and wouldn't want anyone on another forum thinking you were a tit like me.

You see Maage he went arse ways about the whole lot of it and that's why he only got the bronze in that section. He should have probably focused on Brophs, Pogues, invictus's and all that gangs posts when it came to the football side of things, changed a few words around here and there naturally enough like. Then if he wanted to tip into their other forums, probably should have aimed for moses posts for history and general knowledge and for when he was coming in at all ours of the night after playing in his Status Quo cover band he could have pulled out a few belters from the Billy Blaggs collection, said he was locked or something. He would have fecking cleaned up at the awards night. He'll know better now though or for the next time.
 
I don't find you pathetic or sad either, I just don't understand why you'd do it. It's all a bit of a laugh anyway. Fair play for coming back to face the music though Rossi.

Considering he's been copying across several forums, I'd argue he's a bigger tit.
 
@.Rossi When you submitted lists to the top 50's were they like somebody else's favourite films/tv shows/games etc?
 
Maybe we should cut him some slack. His actions were hardly malicious in nature (not that I'm condoning plagiarism but there weren't any devious motives at play here, other than to just feel better I guess?) and he must have his reasons for his peculiar behaviour - identity issues/need for validation/appreciation junkie or maybe just plain fooling around.

Either way, I guess this thread has run its course and we've all had our share of fun. It's clear he isn't enjoying being the butt of every joke out there and it's hardly like he has committed a severe crime and needs to be shamed or something. The mods should just deal with it as they see fit and put an end to this.

he didn't come back and face the music though. he came back (eventually), pretended it wasn't a big deal, and tried to brush it off. Then when asked if he did vice versa and copied posts from the other forum to here, he said no, which turned out to be a big fat lie too. Now after all that he's basically claiming he was bullied and it's not a big deal. He literally handled the whole thing in the worst possible way.

No way, what's wrong with you modern Caf people? Boss got slaughtered for Attacking the Space, Chief did for his Left Foot Penalty shit, and they deserved it. Rossi deserves to be laughed at and taunted for this, it's the general forum on the Caf you feckers!

What else was he going to do?
If he'd had known what the thread was about yesterday, I'm sure he'd have said it was him.

He copied a few posts. Thought they'd get a laugh and maybe get a discussion going on that particular topic. He didn't exactly break any laws here.

He was found out. I'm all for slagging, ripping the piss out of him etc. I don't mind. It's funny. It's a laugh
But, when he logd on and see people saying either he's a weird and strange man or that he's pathetic or the best one, "this is weird even by internet standards" it's actually quite hurtful and not bit funny.

He got the brunt of that abuse for his initial reaction though. He tried to make light instead of owning up, and then bullshitted again when asked if he did the same thing. It made a weird thing even weirder.

Honestly, no one could possibly be offended by what .Rossi has done.

Let there be an end to it, sometime.

Weird, but genius. One day everyone will try it.

of course nobody is offended, but it's still hilarious, we should rejoice in it, not sympathise. it's a forum, not a fecking schoolyard or workplace!

Weird people are interesting. I don't think any of the posts were personal, but I understand if Cina feels differently.

That was the wrong one to copy. Cina is on the case now. The order of the day now is Rage.
 
I am outraged and I intend to copy this thread and email it to the Status Quo Fan club (if such a thing exists) and/or Francis Rossi himself.

what ... the .. feck ... are you on about? I'm not taking it personally, the people here are the ones being too personal, saying we should feel sympathy and be nice. No we shouldn't, we should take the piss and have a laugh!
