Only a quickie today. Wanted your spin on events!

This morning we had a new member follow us. When we went to their bio to leave a message thanking them for following us, as we always do, we noticed that thier bio has been uplifted word for word (except all the 'we' have been changed to 'I') from our bio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it?

We have contacted Carson about it, as despite it being flattering that our bio is so good they want to copy it, it makes you ask, what else are they lying about?

So, we wanted to know your thoughts.

Flattery or stupidity?

OMG
I don't believe it! To lift your bio, what else is this person capable of??!! Good grief!
I agree with HBR 18, although as you can see I am disgusted.

I personally think that is unacceptable should not allowed. They probably won't last as they obviously don't have the proper frame of mind to build let alone run a successful business. They are only fooling their self.
On your behalf, I might be inclined to feel a bit flattered though.

I vote for stupidity

LOL...

I have to laugh about this. I think the person is having fun or does not understand what was written. Thanks for sharing.

HI John lake
To me its both flattery because they liked your bio to an extentof copying it but then stupidity to follow you. It common sense if you follow me chances are that i will read your profile and they could have known that you will see your profile in theirs,but anyway common sense is not common to all.

Usually, fake news is stupidity.

I am alarmed, how is it possible? It is really weird and it is a warning.

Lol I did this in the first grade. I copied the worksheet off the dude next to me, but I didn't change any words. It was the first day of class and I didn't know any better. I even copied his name at the top where it says Name:
lol

Thanks for the lol. I needed it today!

It just sounds weird. Is English their first language? Maybe they thought they were doing something right.

Sounds to me like a bit of both. It's flattering that they like your bio well enough to copy it, but stupid that they would think they can get away with such a thing. How weird! Really good you caught it.
