I appreciate it. I saw that his page has been removed. Thank you for maintaining the integrity of the Bleacher Report. Keep up the good work. Your writing is very good.

Hi Kevin,

I fully support your efforts at flagging Sword of Troy's articles for plagiarism if that is the case (it is looking more and more likely it is).

I made the effort to try and point out the purposes of Bleacher Report and the content of his articles but it went right over his head and he deleted my note off his board and cut and pasted the standard reply that I'm sure most of you got.

Good luck with the flagging process and I hope my note to you can show that this isn't about team loyalty but maintaining the integrity and purposes of this website. I can say that his articles have no place here with the other aspiring writers who put in the time and effort into their work.

Hi Kevin,

Absolutely agree on the copy and pasting news articles without any effort to add anything of substance. That's what I tried to impart to him when contributing an article to Bleacher Report. Moving on might be best because if he wouldn't hear it from me, a Trojan alum about his articles, I seriously doubt a fan of any other team will be able to reach him.

Good luck to the Gators.

Hi Kevin,

Just like you, I have followed Sword of Troy's articles. Interesting might be a word that comes to mind.

As a Trojan alum, I have tried to politely suggest to Sword of Troy, as a fellow fan, that most, if not all writers here, try to aim for articles that a sports journalist would write. I know USC and Florida fans go back and forth on this website about the state of their current teams and that a difference of opinion is tolerated. I value this website as a place where an aspiring sports journalist would go to display their skills as I believe you do also. So, if we can look at Sword of Troy's articles along those journalistic lines instead of the lines of team loyalty, I think we can agree that it would be best to move on from Sword of Troy's articles based on the purposes of this website. I tried to help the young man but he too, copy and pasted the same response to me before deleting it off his board.

I will be posting this note on your community leader Michael's board. BTW, I have read your articles and think they are very good although I have yet to comment.
