It seems Rob Hayes is a master thief at large.
At first, on the date of March 9th, 2006, Haddox informed me that Rob Hayes, another ranter, plagiarised a rant from progressiveboink.com.
There was a lot of heat arround this matter, but nothing was really done to shut Hayes up. Like killing him. Even my article back then, "Guess what? Rob Hayes is a plagiarist!", written on March 11th, has done nothing to the whole matter.
At the date of today, I received an e-mail from Narla Taylor. She found out that Hayes stole more than that one article. He stole several others.
So far for an intro, let's bring up the e-mail she sent me. Nothing - including typos - is edited in these e-mails.

You probably know this but, seeing as you did an entire article on Rob Hayes
being a plagiarist and failed to mention these two 'coincidences' I thought
I'd bring them to your attention....

About a month ago I emailed Hayes and asked him to explain what was going
on. There was no reply.
So I replied with this:

I checked those links out. And obviously it seems Rob copied more than that
one article I noticed before. This adds the list up to three.
But what do you want me to do about it? He's a little fuck up, that we know.
But writing another article about it - again - wouldn't do much good.
Off course, if you think I should go for it, it's not much of an effort for
me.
Question: how did you find out? Are you a fucking rant-website investigator
or something? You read all of them, including mine? Seeing that you're
e-mail address is grounded in the UK, you have nothing to do with Hayes, who
in fact lives in Canada.
Well, that's it for now.

Well, let's look at it this way. If you do write another article about
Hayes, there's a slim chance I'll be mentioned (thus making me the most
famous person to come from the UK), we'll expose Hayes for the lying
arsehole that he is and you wont have to update for another month. Everyone
wins!
To answer your question, no I'm not a rant-website inverstgator (I damn well
should be though). Pissed off because Maddox hadn't updated in about a year
I googled 'maddox is gay' hoping to join some kind of anti-maddox cult and
came across 'The worst page in the universe' where I read the article about
subway. To cut a long story short, 'The worst page in the universe' had a
link to Thilo's page (I actually had no-idea it existed until then). Being
the genius that I am, I predicted that seeing as there was a first, second
and worst pages in the universe there must be a third which is how I came
across both your's and Hayes' page. After reading his subway article I
naturally assumed Hayes had been ripped off and thought nothing of it. Then
I read your 'Rob Hayes is a plagiarist' article and it all made sense. The
third link 'The phattest page in the universe' is on the list
(thebigripoff.tk). I only discovered he had also been ripped off last night.
The only explaination is that no-one realises that the pages are actually
different seeing as the layouts are exactly the same and just assumes that
they have re-read the same article.
Conclusion: Everyone should stop stealing Gothrix's layout.
And before I even got the chance of replying to that e-mail, I received a third one:

I should get paid for this.
Well, indeed, she should get payed for this. There's not much to say about these e-mails, except that Hayes isn't that great at all. I've proven it once before, and now I've done it once again. This makes the count up to four (4) stolen articles. Those who think Rob Hayes is such a great ranter, with some of the best articles, well, now you see you are wrong. Monday I'll call Webster's Dictionary and have them add Rob Hayes to it. Stating next to his name: "The art of stealing web-based content and naming it your own". He even stole two articles of the same website.
Robbie, did you really think no one would ever notice? Like you would say: "pwned!".
