@MrsDirtyMartini replies

@MrsDirtyMartini sent the following message, quoted below:

Not sure what else to do!!!

Hello-

You just posted something about me:

tweetthief @MrsDirtyMartini is a thief - @MrsDirtyMartini says she received these tweets from a bot, and doesn’t RT… http://tumblr.com/xq23n1w28

I can promise you that I am not a tweet theif. I did not know who the original creator of the tweet was and posted the joke. When I found out who did I apologized and immediately removed the 2 tweets. I really don’t know what else I could do. I made my profile private (which I hate) b/c I have been constantly harrassd since. Those quotes of mine that you posted were to people that wanted to fight with me and would not let it go. I have done all I can to correct the situation. Please remove my information off this site. I am not a bad person or a theif it was just a huge misunderstanding that was corrected and I am sorry. Please contact me!

Thank you,

Kalley

Kalley: you didn’t give me any way to contact you, like an email address.

But I am publishing this here so folks can hear your side of things. If you read through my site you will see that I consistently tell people: If you find that someone has reposted you, ask them to remove it. I don’t advocate people being mean or abusive, in fact I think it hurts their cause.

All I can tell you is what I can see from what was left in http://search.twitter.com and from that all I could see was you being defensive, seemingly defending unattributed retweeting due to lack of room to “cite”.

There was no indication that you had deleted anything.

I would have recommended just blocking the people who were giving you a hard time so that people could see you had deleted the unattributed retweets. I have no reason to doubt you, but at the same time I have no reason to believe you either. That isn’t a judgment on you, it’s just the facts. That doesn’t mean I won’t let you respond to what someone else said about you here.

At this point I consider the matter closed and do not plan to pursue it any further. As your account is private (which is your right), there is nothing more that I can do.

@ItsTheStepster stolen from by @breanna_29xi and @ann_56cx

Original: http://twitter.com/ItsTheStepster/statuses/4734518857

Copy: http://twitter.com/breanna_29xi/statuses/4879394203

Original: http://twitter.com/ItsTheStepster/statuses/4682983142

Copy: http://twitter.com/ann_56cx/statuses/4832292914

People have been RT-ing the wrong one too: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=Making+turd.+As+poosualy.

@ItsTheStepster — I can’t suspend anyone, I don’t work for Twitter. I do this in my own free time. You should @reply them, include the URLs here, tell them to delete them, and if they don’t, report them to @spam and click the “Spam” link on their profile page, which will also block them.

@MrsDirtyMartini is a thief

@MrsDirtyMartini says she received these tweets from a bot, and doesn’t RT bots.  I warned her that she always needs to retweet so her account doesn’t risk being suspended.

http://twitter.com/MrsDirtyMartini/status/4866569853

Stolen from @KnowShit here http://twitter.com/KnowShit/status/4865324768

http://twitter.com/MrsDirtyMartini/status/4866537856

Stolen from @JeeNeeBee here:

http://twitter.com/JeeNeeBee/status/4865663171

http://twitter.com/MrsDirtyMartini/ is now private, so who knows what she is posting there where no one can see it. You can see she went private about a week ago by checking Twitter search (while it lasts). Obviously people were trying to get her to stop stealing other’s material.

She frequently @replied people saying ” we only have 140 characters I am not quoting a whole website sorry!” and saying that people “took twitter too seriously”

Hey Kalley: STOP PRETENDING TO WRITE STUFF YOU DIDN’T WRITE TO MAKE YOURSELF SEEM FUNNIER. Or, you know, be funnier. Don’t like it? Delete your account. Twitter’s TOS says that plagiarism will get you suspended.

She also posted to several links to her account at http://www.capturemychicago.com/people/kschillen

I wonder how she’d feel about people taking her pictures and pretending that they had taken them.

@nlnnet stole from @sween

Original: http://twitter.com/sween/statuses/4168896359

Copy: http://twitter.com/nlnnet/statuses/4644426648

Notice that he changed the wording, probably hoping to avoid getting caught. Except that Sween has OVER A MILLION FOLLOWERS. Fucking duh, how stupid are these people?

WRITE YOUR OWN MATERIAL!

Twitter Wit being used as source of tweets to steal?

@benmarvin wrote in to say that @LactoseLivola here: http://bit.ly/4W4MQ was a copy of his here: http://bit.ly/FiWw4 (published in Twitter Wit)

I wondered if “Twitter Wit” (the book of funny Twitter sayings) would lead to people copying material. Looks like Ben found at least one person who might have used it that way.

Here’s the original and the copy:

Even cancer likes boobs. #pinkribbon

Even cancer likes boobs.

http://twitter.com/LactoseLivola/statuses/4401613474 The trouble is that Twitter search will only go back a little ways, so this will be harder to spot unless someone recognizes their own material like this.
