1.) I don't think that rusty is clueless. I did think that editor75's old talk about writers becoming regular employees was silly (and I openly expressed my thoughts in the threads where those were discussed), but knowing now that they came from rusty, I know to take it as seriously as his old plan of using bulldozers to decimate EW's office.
2.) I don't disregard a person's crazy just because he sides with me or licks my boots. That's you. Please, just take the olanzapine. It's good for you. :p
Really? You're going there? You think that any of the writers in this forum care enough-for whatever reason-about the ESL "threat" to pose for YEARS as an ESL writer? Oh, wait . . . .
Writers don't care as long as they have enough orders to fill their plates (and we do since the market is so large). Company owners now... :p
If you can show a single instance of me, pheelyks, or freelancewriter labeling a poster as "ESL" who later proved to be a native writer, I'd absolutely love to see it.
Hahaha!!!! Let's see... um... me? :p
The only reason why I posted in that thread at all is because you took a shot at me with your selective quoting from the guy's email. You might want to take a peak.
Selective quoting? Have you read the entire email?
well done in trolling WritersBeware on that essayscam forum over the course of 4 years.not only are you a more agreeable person than WB by far but also a much better writer and clearly better at debating too.I cannot tell which of you is actually right at this point (I haven't been following it all but you actually seem to agree with each other on a couple points and have turned this into more of a personal trollfest) but your ability to monopolise the entire conversation where WB is concerned is impressive, considering that no matter how many times he/she/it refers to your tactics as immature and stupid etc they still feel the need, or perhaps some bizarre compulsion, to respond to you every time. O.oto do such a thing to you in particular but for the fact that 'oh noes you annoyed WB boo hoo somebody call the waaaahmbulance!' which just goes to show exactly how petty and immature WB really is when push comes to shove.why won't WB reveal itself once and for all? LOL).You bought itsme's **** because you thought he was on your side. You'd buy anyone's **** so long as they bought yours too.
you think the majority of essay company clients use their papers as the legal caveats intend, and I'm the clueless one?
See, I agree with this statement. Why? Because it is reasonable to think that people who buy model essays for at least $20/page don't go through the trouble of rewriting the entire thing themselves and (HAHA!!!) citing the source of the purchased material as part their references. I think that a person who believes that is dumb and most likely, so would the authors of these studies:
