What's really depressing and chilling is the attitude/excuse given by this plagiarist - which, reading the stories on the SP website, are not at all unusual.
This idea of "Well, you see, I didn't actually have any writing talent, so I couldn't write or post any stories of my own, so I just figured no one would mind if I took other people's and posted them instead and I'm really surprised to find out that's considered a bad thing to do."
I mean where does that kind of thinking come from?
