The commenter just committed plagiarism. TheOdd1sOut said it first, and they didn’t even copy it correctly.

Intellectual copyright theft of the worst kind, or passing off; a ripe forgery in the literary sphere; taking something one took the time and trouble to write out again in a slightly different form and claiming it as one’s own inimitable work as coming from the sweat of one’s brow, and so then, in some vital respect, it must be one’s own work, if only because if one took the time and trouble to do it again in a slightly different way then it must be one’s own intellectual copyright material to do with as one wishes, and so legally, in consequence, it is therefore still intellectual theft from its original owner, and decidedly so also, but then becomes serious only if it is found out.
It was not that the author disagreed with what was written one jot, as he has written it himself, it was that someone else had taken it and published it in his own name, which was plagiarism of the worst kind, and especially so since its original author had not been paid a penny for it either.

using other peoples ideas as your own, that all teachers and professors teach is horribly wrong, is never acceptable in the real world/workplace, and they will fail you for it. yet when it comes time for them to give you your weekly and/or daily metric-Fuck-ton of home work its all bullshit they copied from some other teacher or book so they don't have to do shit but can still fuck your life up, contradicting themselves in the process.
"Billy you copied this answer from the internet that is plagiarism and it is unacceptable! I have no choice but to give you an f on this assignment." "but I copied those answers from the same website that you copied the questions from so I only did what you taught me to do" "too bad Billy I'm the teacher and I gut to decide how bad I want to fuck your life up and I choose to make you wish to die"

Plagiarism scandals involving “authors” stealing from multiple works and patching them together to take credit for a new and complete story.
Shey Stahl plagiarized several Twilight Fanfiction stories including Dusty and used patchwork plagiarism to write 'For the Summer' and probably all of her other books.

When one uses a story/saying/information/anecdote that they recieved or overheard from another individual they know and they do not cite the source. In turn, implying that they themselves are the original source of information.
Maegan tells Leann that she talked to the band about their performance date change in Santa Cruz.
Later that evening, Leann tells a group of mutual friends that the performance date has been changed, without citing/acknowledging where she originally obtained this information. In turn, implying she spoke to the band herself, which could be construed to some as lying.
Thus, Leann commited social plagiarism.
