Everybody steals my ideas

[jpgray]

What should I do?

[asthmaticeog]

1. Other: patent and sue

[Straight Shooter]

2. At least you have ideas worth stealing.

:7

[blm]

3. That's what you get for being such a bright bulb.

Heh.....I used to snag some of your posts, as I recall.

5. I remember those days

When GDP 2008 is created I fear for DU--we have around 25,000+ more members.

4. You're just jealous that sundog pulled it off.

6. I got a mod warning when I pulled that stunt

But noooooooo goldenboy Richard Burton (hic) avatar sundog can do no wrong. x(

10. Right, my edgy DU performance art is now in the complacent mainstream

:cry:

[kick-ass-bob]

14. did you start the "hide the link to ignore feature" as well?

[jpgray]

15. Yes

And that parentheses thread of StopTheMorans? Stolen! From me! Basically any good idea you see in the Lounge can be safely credited to me.

:patriot:

9. Roger that, dude

Couple days ago, somebody posted a ZZ Top thread. I freakin' deSPISE those guys because they stole my idea: I came up with the spinning guitar thing around 1976. Had the design in my head for the ball and clamp socket, but I thought it was just a cool thing and never considered the possibilities, so I didn't draw plans, much less go for a patent.

:grr:

11. I can sympathize. Happened to me once.

The other poster was hailed as being a genius; went over the flames (50+ posts). Posted here in the lounge; wrong place for the topic. Mine in the PROPER FORUM got 29 posts. Made me x(

[sundog]

12. my heart is sinking with pity for you

[jpgray]

13. Good. I hope it sinks so far that it ruptures your spleen

[sundog]

16. no it just gave me gas

[hfojvt]

17. tell me about it

I usually get more copycats than replies. I swear I started the whole dead celebrities blizzard when I was a n00b, but does anyone ever acknowledge the source? Noooooooo.

[OldEurope]

19. No.
