de.lirio.us dumbass
Why does a moron feel the need to completely steal the design, intent, and functionality of del.icio.us (delicious), and pass it off as his own? Because he is a no-talent moron, that's why.

I hate people who rip things off. And this twat takes the cake.

Personally, I love deli.cio.us, it works great, has a catchy tune, and I can dance to it. Social bookmarking is okay, but really I use it to keep a centralized place for all my bookmarks. It's also a great place to find little-known gems on the internet, ranging from development, to arcane entertainment and perverse joy, to all-around factoids and bits of trivia. All contributed by a large and well-intentioned community. And then this cock rips it off.

And not just a little rip-off...it is entirely ripped off. Completely. Utterly.

So here is my letter to "Steve," the so-called WebMaster of de.lirio.us (and how much of a newbie do you have to be to refer to yourself as a webmaster these days? This fucking deluded ijit might as well start using the blink tag while he's at it):


Dear Steve,

You are a fucking moron.

You are incapable of original thought. You are incapable of thought. You are so blatantly talentless as to actually be "inspired" by delicious (which you were, don't lie about it, fucktard) and then not even give credit where it is due.

Remember when you got Creative Commons setup for your piece of shit ripoff? You acted like it was such a big fucking deal...ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS FILL OUT A GODDAMN FORM. Or how about this "notes" thing...you claim your piece of shit ripoff allows for notes. Hmm, wait...deli.cio.us has notes. Then you were so stupid as to allow HTML in the notes, and your piece of shit ripoff got spammed with Bukakke clips. And then your 4 year old attempt at an April Fool's joke: Yahoo has not bought and is not going to buy your piece of shit ripoff.

Oh, by the way...you are a fucking moron.

Now, steviefool, there is this word in the English language (which you may not be familiar with, based on your activities or lack of brain power), it is called "plagiarism." Now, I know what you are thinking...you are thinking...wait, no you aren't. Okay, so you aren't thinking about how big that word is, how many syllables it has (assuming you know what a syllable is), or anything like that. Wait, can you even read? Well, we'll just hope against hope, despite the fact that you should have been the poster-child for a pro-abortion campaign.

So, this word in the english language...plagiarism. It's in the "dictionary" (it looks like a brick, big and thickly bound paper, you have probably seen one when you tried to walk through a glass window at Borders, clearly not realizing glass can be transparent...you're so funny that way). The dictionary is your friend, moron. Now, I'm not going to bother myself with teaching you how to pronounce this word, I'd have more luck teaching a grilled cheese sandwich how to ripoff a web site and then pass it off as the cheese's own site, so you are clearly ahead on that front.

But the word exists, basically, to give utter fucking gits like you a describing trait. A plagiarist. You are a member of one of the lowest groups of people in the web community. You are a thief, you are a liar, you are a fool.

Now, other people might want to refer to your piece of shit ripoff as a "delicious clone" but I'd rather call it what it is: a no-talent hack job, the lowest form of flattery: theft, disregard for the creation of others, disregard for any modicum of civility or tact. Additionally, considering the open API of delicious, you could have just helped delicious grow, you could have helped it improve, but for the fact that you are so inescapably dense as to not quite get that in your little itty-bitty brain.

If you had any sense, you would admit to your theft, and see the error of your ways. If you want to make a better version of delicious, fine, go ahead. But you can't even muster up the brainpower for that. Instead you rip it off entirely, completely, in every way. And you passed it off as your own.

You Are A Fucking Moron.


And for the rest of you: Don't encourage the retard. Use del.icio.us.
