The Term Paper "Artist"...

Nick Mamatas is an arrogant a-hole, for lack of a better word. I understand that he is probably smarter than 90% of his clients, but that doesn't give him the right to act like a pretentious tool. In the podcast he goes on ad infinitum about how dumb his clients are. He categorizes some of them as, "too dumb to understand the assignment,". He takes pride in being so much smarter than most of the people he had to deal with. You also find out that he is a snitch. He would send the term paper he wrote, for the client, to his or her professor if he or she wasn't nice to him. You can't be a "Term Paper Artist" and a snitch at the same time. He talked about karma working in his favor when he busted his clients. I wouldn't be surprised if now he is single, ugly, and broke because of all the bad karma he collected from his unscrupulous occupation. I won't pretend as if I've never wanted to just buy an essay instead of researching and writing one, but it's is still an act that is frowned upon in educational societies. Nick Mamatas may be a hero to an overworked college student up at three o'clock in the morning, but to me he is a brazen, immature know-it-all!
