Stealing art, identity, and the Gabe dog thing from EbonyTheDragon.

I looked at the messages people are sending and

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING

I'm not trying to sound like I don't do this stuff either but the bullying I've seen is unbelievable, and not just on this profile, but other art thieves too.

"Oops, looks like your dads condom didn't work!"

Just
*sigh*

You can get kicked off of Wattpad for bullying just as much as they can for stealing art. I get it, everyone's angry that the art is being stolen. But if you threaten them with death or worse (I've seen it) you really aren't that much better than they are.
The best thing you can really do is ignore them, after you notify the artist if they don't know. Yet you can't control people so you get this; the screaming, insults and basically a ton of people flipping their shit.
What you should do:
-Remain calm and make sure your caps lock isn't stuck
-Try to be reasonable and ask for the book to be taken down
-Make sure the thief knows that what they are doing is ILLEGAL
- Be gentle. You don't have to be friends, but you should be polite
-Again, do your best not to blow the whole situation out of proportion.

What NOT to do:
- Use every cuss word you know to say how much you despise the thief, how they aren't fit to be in the human race, etc. etc.
-Bully and harass
- Try and bring all your friends into it: It's a good idea to have a few people because they might stand down more easy against a united front, but you don't need half of wattpad raining the fire of hell onto the thief.
- Death threats/general threats. These are taken very seriously because they are considered on whether or not you can carry the threat out onto the person.
For example, if I was a paraplegic in a wheelchair and I said I would kill your family, it's not considered a threat because I cannot act on my threat.
However, if I had full use of my limbs and had a gun, that can lead to you being arrested, because you can.
(I read more than I should and watch a crap ton of crime shows... dont judge me :P)

Well I'm rambling right now and I should sleep

One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys went out to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Took their swords and shot the other
The deaf policeman heard the noise
Took his gun and killed the boys
If you don't think this lie is true
Ask the blind man; he saw it too
