The Nerve Of A Virtual Con Man.

I've been meaning to post about this for a while, but I've been distracted with other things (i.e. real life). A couple of weeks ago, Stardoll's most notorious hacker, mizzmileycyrus9, allegedly "bought" .Marcela..'s  popular blog, M by Marcela, renaming it Résuir by Reece (What the fuck is that supposed to mean, anyway?), as well as openly stealing her other extremely popular blog Hot Buys Addicted. Low, I suppose, but not particularly odd. For Reece anyway.

I will not yammer on the aftermath, as I don't wish to repeat a tale that has been told, or, rather, written, on other, much more popular blogs. I will simply openly condemn the callousness, exasperating sarcasm and apparent indifference of, without a doubt, the most disliked person of Stardoll.

Being the nosy, snoopy, curiosity-killed cat that I am, I decided to carry out a professional journalistic research, or in other words, roam the Scum's guestbook. The results were rather depressing. The Scum showed no remorse of his horrible action. In fact, he didn't even attempt to justify himself, as he usually does. Instead, he opted to answer every insult and accusation with cryptic comments or smileys. In a few, unfortunately not rare, occasions, he actually gets positive response from a few, apparently sap-head, users, who proudly declare to be on Team Reece.

To be completely frank, I am disgusted that someone can do such deplorable things as steal someone's hard work and, essentially, their well-deserved success in the form of a thousand followers, but also proudly admit it. I certainly commend anyone able to own up to their faults, but owning up to lapsing and proudly defending it differ greatly in my opinion.

What is actually sad, is that people like Reece, or, as I like to call them, Scums, will never cease to exist. Neither in the real world nor on Stardoll, or any other form of virtual reality for that matter. In fact, I believe that the mask of protection the Internet can offer us is directly responsible for most of these vile acts.

Shouldn't Stardoll be a fun and innocent place, anyway? I have a faint suspicion that this is exactly why it has ended up becoming fucked up beyond repair.
