Paul Skallas (@PaulSkallas), AKA the LindyMan, is a plagiarist.
His last post is cut-and-paste theft of my verbatim tweets, and a thin rehashing of ideas I've been posting about for a while.
Let's look at the evidence, shall we?

You'll note he also copied @micsolana's related tweet, DOWN TO THE ASTERISK USED FOR EMPHASIS.

Once again, an entire tweet of mine copied.

I can't find the exact tweet because TWTR search is bad, but this is a thought I've expressed more than once, as it was one of my 'lessons learned' from hanging around the Euro startup scene in 2015.
There are numerous passages that seem like either my or someone else's tweets.

To be clear, I think plagiarism is kind of over-cited as a sin. We're in a remix/retweet culture, and I'm perfectly happy to have people take my ideas and run with them. Have at it...I consider it a success. Not like my ideas are that unique or valuable.
But copy/pasting tweets?

Yes, I vaguely know him (we *were* in a group I admin'ed). I DM'ed him about it and he gave me some BS line and ghosted me.
(Thought of posting thread, but seems there's some privacy right that still applies to private DMs. So take my word for it.)

But maybe....he's just being true to his Lindy beliefs!
Plagiarism is certainly Lindy. In which case, he is living his truth (as a lie, but whatever).

Lastly, here's an implicit admission of guilt.
Someone DM'ed me his piece saying 'this sounds just like your usual Europe/US spiel', so I subbed to read.
As soon as I sub-Tweeted about him, he booted me from the subs list.
