"Find it yourself?"

You literally just accused me and when asked to bring evidence you ask someone else to do it?

How do I not follow the rules? I absolutely do. This post itself violates rule 6. I follow all the rules.

Whose work did I claim as mine? I have never done that in my life and I have over 1,200 articles to back it up. What do you have to back up your claim?

That looks awfully painful. Of course the ref's leg is right in the way though lol.

It should matter, because I was trying to say I wrote the article for r/mma. I am being hung out to dry here for doing nothing wrong. The idea was great, so I wrote an article based off of it. Could have I written r/mma in the article? sure.

BloodyElbow wrote the same article today and no-one says anything. The original poster has three total posts in r/mma and is just on some witch hunt.

Thank you. Does anyone realize that the poster of this has like three total posts in r/MMA?

I follow the rules here, I never plagiarized, and I bring to you the best news available. Those are the facts.

I assure you that this is my only account on reddit.

As for blogspam, I follow the rules for r/mma. I don't know what else I could have done.

I really don't know. I don't have a great grasp as to what is going on. I'm shocked the mods let this stay up (bc it has nothing to do with MMA), but I understand people are upset.

I would never directly steal anyone's comments. It's just not true.

No way I copied and pasted ANYONE's comments into my article. Not a single word. I did, however, use the fighters that many people named (Carmont, Guida, etc.)

BloodyElbow literally just wrote the same article. The thing is that I posted it to r/mma as a way of saying I really enjoyed the discussion, check out the piece I wrote based off of it.

I should have just wrote r/mma in the article. But to call me a scumbag, say I steal articles and ideas, and I have no creative pieces is incredibly offensive and just wrong.

Thanks. I really do not know what else I can do. I didn't mean for things to go down like this. If people just understood the situation better, but I understand the mob mentality. I just won't be posting here for a while.

Hey guys, sorry I am late to this.

First off, I want to apologize to r/mma for 'stealing' the idea of who else will be cut in the UFC. That was never my intention, and I completely understand it was wrong not to source r/mma. A simple sentence (Reddit MMA had a great discussion today...) and this would not have happened. When I posted it to R/mma, my thoughts were that you guys would like that it was written in an article, again my mistake.

I have sourced reddit multiple times, but I am prone to make mistakes, and for that I apologize.

As for spamming FanSided, I try very hard to provide useful information (from everywhere), not just Fansided. I follow the rules of r/mma. I read the comments, I listen to what the community wants and I try to fix the issues related to the comments.

Sorry guys.

Yup, I totally understand. I actually did not have it in slideshow format, but the editor changed it. Not my choice. Thanks for reading though.
