[@SleepingSilence] I was perhaps being a bit dramatic when I said 50% of his writing. But 50% of his posts most certainly had dialog ripped from his favorite anime, edgy movie, tv drama, or song he was listening to at the time. The copied IC post was a real shocker for me, and a new low for him. He actually tried to get into said RP and they wouldn't let him because character didn't fit the setting. 

	He was not a bad writer by any means. Admittedly, I am sure I haven't caught every time he decided to plagiarize. So it is difficult for me to say with complete certainty. But English was not his first language, and he spoke and wrote it better than most native speakers. He is still in my top five, maybe even top three. I suppose this is what urks me so much about his behavior in particular. He didn't need to blatantly copy things to write good.

	I am not surprised to hear he's not the only person who does this sort of thing. One thing about my dear friend is he never had a lot of confidence in himself. He would always accept my criticisms and deflect my praise. I suppose for him and others like him, plagiarizing was his way of meeting the writing level of everyone else. He didn't create it, so it was good. And so his writing looked better to him if he included things like that in there. That is the only thing that makes sense to me.
