    MattUK, the guy seems to think he's incredibly clever because you wrote "copywritten," which doesn't actually mean that something has a copyright, but that it was written by a "copywriter." [ie "write" "right"]

    Most promotional material in the world is written by a copywriter, and it has nothing to do with whether something is protected by copyright, so apparently he thinks you are embarrasing yourself.

    Personally I think he should be embarrased, because in spite of the fact that you may have written the word incorrectly, we all knew exactly what you meant.

    Some people just feel a need to be superior ;)

    I don't believe I wrote copy'written' anywhere, I assumed it was a term used in the US, we use copyright in the UK - though I didn't realise he was being pedantic :)

    Nice to see small man syndrome isn't just a UK thing ;)

    Maybe not, though as I said, its worth a try,in the four cases that I've personally been involved in it's been the host that's acted first when presented with evidence.

    Yeah, I looked back in the discussion and he was originally aiming his smug attitude at MrX, who wrote "copywrited," and then somehow he ended up aiming it at you instead.

    Hehe... we've got plenty of men suffering from that syndrome here, too!

    ;)

    Dude, if I tell you to look up "copywriter" and then you still go on about "copyright", I can't help but laugh really hard.

    I guess that says more about you that me ;)
    Like I said, small man syndrome is a sad affliction, I guess if you work on your self esteem you can turn things round :p

    Sorry to wake this thread up but I just noticed something kind of amusing...

    In my original post I mentioned the keywords that I had been pushed off the top spot for. Well I just went to see if the original spammer had disappeared yet and...

    ...Well, no it hasn't, and worse than that this thread here is now in the number 2 spot so I am even further down the page! Is there anyway I can edit the words out of my original post?

    Guess I'd best do a bit of SEO on my own site!

    Well do one thing, post your link(with keyword anchor) in this thread :) so this will be taken as a vote to your site and it should come on top.

    I don't think so that mods will allow anyone to edit there posts but anyway it should not be that difficlt for you to coem on top again. Just few links should do the job. Do some 3 way link exchange and couple of artilce submission.

    You're still coming second in my searches with DP third.
    This should help though ;)

    Thanks guys, forgot to mention I was talking about gite villereal:)

    It's not a site I normally worry about doing links etc for, being not a competitive keyword and not a 'webmaster' type site. Guess I'd best do a few to make sure it stays on top.

    First I made a JOKE about it. Then I corrected someone about this because apparently it still wasn't clear. After that he felt so superior because he thought he knows it all already and doesn't have to look it up, so I made a brash remark.
    Meaning YOU are the person who is blowing all of this out of proportion and apparently you are the guy with the low self esteem, because for some reason you find the extreme arrogance to judge my entire personality from 1 joke, 1 correction and 1 brash remark. So don't tell me I have "small man syndrome" when I could just as easily say the same thing about you.

    I'm not the one still posting about it :p

    No, I'm judging you from you history of posting on the forums. A collection of sarcasm and snide remarks and little help to anyone whatsoever.

    Have I hit a nerve? :D
