FWDixon is a spammer and plagiarist with more 100 links from Wiki to his web site.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.205.13.193 (talk • contribs) 17:24, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

See [[1]] for discussion about User FWDixon/Bob Finnan's link spamming and plagiarism.

More on the link spamming and commercial advertising. Example http://hardyboys.bobfinnan.com/hbpb.htm is just a list of titles that all have links to Amazon. All of the books summaries were copied from Amazon. Every HB Digest title, Casefiles title, Clues Brothers title, Supermysteries title, Ultra Thriller title and so on has a link to Amazon and all summaries were copied from Amazon. Does that tell anyone something?

Yep, tells us you're lying! Here's a link to Amazon's Ultra Thriller page (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671756613/ref=nosim) and not a summary to be seen. Ditto for everything else. BTW, thanks for all the links to my site, I'm sure it will increase readership! :)--FWDixon 14:20, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh Really? Lets try a few just on the Undercover Brothers.

Extreme Danger (#1) - 4/05

Finnan: Mission: To find the mastermind behind a possible attack at the Big Air Games. Amazon: Mission: To find the mastermind behind a possible attack at the Big Air Games.

Running On Fumes (#2) - 4/05

Finnan: Mission: Investigate and determine the power behind a possibly dangerous Utopian community with potential plans for criminal activity within the oil industry. Amazon: Mission: Investigate and determine the power behind a possibly dangerous Utopian community with potential plans for criminal activity within the oil industry.

Boardwalk Bust (#3) - 4/05

Finnan: Mission: Investigate and put a halt to the recent rash of jewelry store robberies. Potential danger on the ground and in the air. Amazon: Mission: Investigate and put a halt to the recent rash of jewelry store robberies. Potential danger on the ground and in the air.

OH! You only plagiarized SOME of the summaries?

Why not claim that Amazon plagiarized also, after all the description came from the back cover of the book and falls under the "Fair Use" provisions. But you don't care about that, you are just a pathetic hate-filled loser with no life and an ax to grind. Very sad.--FWDixon 15:01, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. Now you didn't write them. I thought I was a liar? Guess you are huh? So WHAT summaries did you write? What was that MY summaries stuff you were saying to Phillip?

You and I both know I was refering to the summaries on the original series title pages. Being an Amazon associate gives me "fair use" to quote portions of the books you questioned. You really ought to learn what you're talking about before you spew your hatred here.--FWDixon 15:10, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon cannot give you rights to use publisher's book summaries Finnan, any more than Wal Mart or anyone else can. Everything on your pages was copied from all sorts of sources and you know it. If people want more examples I will give them more.

Keep talking - the more you talk, the more people will realize that you are a sicko stalker who doesn't have a clue as to what he is talking about. Before you rave any more, I advise you to study the concept of "fair use", a concept which, like plagiarism, you have no clue to. But keep posting your rants, readership to my site has never been higher! Thanks!--FWDixon 15:23, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

More smoke won't help you. What summaries or anything else is original on your site? The Nancy Drew ones? No. The Ultra Thriller ones? No. The Clues Brothers ones? No. The Detective Mystery Stories ones? No. What about the other pages? Chip Hilton has a list of titles all linked to Amazon with no summaries or info at all. A book summary is original writing protected by copyright. Summarizing a book in your own words is not a copyright violation but copying a summary without permission especially for commercial gain IS.

I just love when someone refuses to let facts get in the way of a good old hate-filled rant. Rave on Mr. Looney Tune LOL --FWDixon 15:50, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
