I reviewed your paper for the Annals of Internal Medicine, but I liked it so much I put my name on it and submitted it to another journal! Of course I made sure the other journal was obscure enough to fail to catch your attention but whooooops…. è colpa mia!… I played the angles and figured a fancy American like you wouldn’t notice an obscure Italian like me in the pages of no-name EXCLI Journal…
At least however I tried to show a fine Italian hand; you on the contrary have showed truly poor form by complaining about the matter publicly.
Dr. Michael Dansinger, of Tufts Medical Center, has taken to print to excoriate a group of researchers [Oh right. I put all my friends’ names on it too. Happy to share the credit!] in Italy who stole his data and published it as their own.
And what’s even more disappointing in your behavior is how you discovered my little mistake!
Dansinger was tipped off to their duplication while searching the internet for papers bearing his name.
Narcissism is an ugly character trait. Had I known how egotistical you are (searching the internet for your name!), I and my associates would never have chosen you. Next time forget it! Basta! You’ve put me through enough.

The offender also appears to have ripped off the plot of Lucky Jim.

Alan: Wasn’t that novel originally titled Fortunato Giacomino?
