I never said you didn't have the RIGHT to be a jerk, but if you just let yourself run rampant over every situation in your life, then well, you're probably in jail.

ripeing sounds like something to do with a banana.

There was a user on one forum named Riper. I think he was also aiming for Ripper.

I would read back on this thread but I have a feeling I don't want to know how the conversation turned to a question of online plagiarism to a question of banana-love.

We'd fight all the time.
You know that, you're not a jerk to everybody.

i see people say sue the bastard, yeah, right

the first rule in "suing the bastards" is that the bastards gots to have some money

the second rule of fight club is....wait...

the second rule of "suing the bastards" is ain't many lawyers want to know you're alive unless you can bring them some money

you're better off finding some legal software (if it comes to that) and writing up something yourself.

I mean are you actually making money off your strip? Are they? Do they happen to be an heir to the C.E.O. of Haliburton?

Yeah, didn't think so. Anyway, you'd be better off threatening to sue the host not the individual, and THEN if the host has any money, you might get a lawyer to take your case. But don't expect miracles. Those kinds of things go on forever.

maybe you could just track them down and meet them at the front door with a meat cleaver. that's what I'd do, but I'm on medication so I have an excuse, heh

Actually, I'd be pretty flattered if someone ripped off my art style or something, too... Though if someone were to just take my art and slap their name on it, the whole "honoured" thing would be overshadowed by the indignation.

Can we PLEASE get back to the bannana sex?

Keffria · Post by **Keffria** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 3:16 pm

See, the thing is, the more people talk about jamming various fruits into various orifices, the less interesting it gets. I mean, there comes a point when a thread descends into kinky sex-talk, and you think "ah, well, whatever, I'm going to go derail something else, now".

Anywherebuthere · Post by **Anywherebuthere** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 3:20 pm

Oh please,

I try and keep one fruit fettish per thread. I mean...this is CLEARLY now a bannana loving thread. There's no reason to toss mangos, kiwis, or kumquats into it.

No some OTHER thread, yes, but DEFINATLY not this thread.

Keffria · Post by **Keffria** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 3:25 pm

Well, okay, even so... why bananas? I mean, with all the things you could stuff into inappropriate places, why something that's so boringly phallic? Now, the ancient Greeks, they weren't so big on fruits, but they had some interesting ideas...

Blackaby · Post by **Blackaby** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 3:36 pm

I've had my stuff copied a few times (non-comic obviously) and I've never been flattered, just po'd. That said I think a lot of things grow up independently but are exactly the same, which is why I still maintain I didn't intentinoally rip off anyone despite the fact that every man and his dog has written exactly the same comic at some point. Don't be a hater.

Schessh rachel, can we PLEASE get back to the topic at hand.

I didn't necessarly STEER bannanas into this, someone else did, but now that bannana love is on the table, I think we should definally upen up a discussion on it.
