Very kind of you, Syd! Yes, JulesV added that entry the day after I published my Anatomy of a Philanthropath series (June 24, 2022). I tried to track him down to request that he use the definition from my article to avoid confusion. When that failed, I asked Urban Dictionary if I could edit or annotate that entry, and they said my only option was to add my own entry, which I *finally* got around to doing recently. I’m not sure if JulesV’s entry will always be at the top because it was first or if mine will get bumped up once there are more upvotes, so that was another reason I was asking people to upvote it.
It does work by upvotes, and it’s an excellent word - I can’t wait till someone inadvertently uses it as an introduction at a fundraiser!! LOL… so .. come on, people, keep voting! *•*
I added mine, and downvoted JulesV's as I know MAA went out of her way to contact them regarding this, and was willing to allow them as first poster to keep it, and to just add her definition. Yet they chose to ignore her after stealing her term.
I too hope people will take the time to follow the link and upvote MAA she deserves it.
When I followed the link today it actually showed MAA's post above JulesV's?
Here's the link if anyone didn't find it at the bottom of the article
Good idea to add “philanthropathogist,” Kelly! Can you share the link so I can upvote it? I looked but couldn’t find it so am guessing it’s still pending approval.
Great to know my definition is first now—thank you for letting me know! It must be the downvotes on the other definition that did it. I feel badly for JulesV because I did appreciate him adding it originally but just wish he had included the proper definition and attribution.
LOL, I hadn't added it, I was referring to adding my vote to yours. So I had to go and try to now. Using it in a sentence was a bit challenging, and luckily I still have my gmail account I never use. It's pending approval, if they do. It was fun none the less.
I'm just glad to see your definition on top now! It's hard to feel sorry for JulesV when he totally ignored your attempt to contact him regarding it, and there is no way he came up with the exact same word the day after you used it without reading your post. He was being selfish by not acknowledging you IMHO.
That Is odd that MAA’s post is first!😹…and more odd yet is the exponential jump in upvotes on the thief’s post yet their post is loaded second. LOL Sometimes, the Universe is watching.
Your ‘philanthropath’ link goes to the other person who, it appears, lifted the entry
from your own authoring. grr.. so I unliked theirs and liked your entry, as it should be!
