Much appreciated for the post @truthisterrorism ! I actually noticed your post on FB with the Steemit link which brought me here. I shared on FB and Resteemed here. You are being followed as well. Don't worry about the hall monitors around here, they have no idea what plagiarism is. Keep on keepin on!
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I flagged your comment just enough to remove the two cents it didn't deserve.
Insulting and flagging one of the kindest people on steemit who also happens to have the reputation and steempower to bury you? Samuel L. would not be saying 'Look at the big brains on Blaine' about that move.
Lucky for you she truly is one of the kindest people here. Lucky for the author of this blog too, because most of the whales on this platform would have flagged this post if they were in Linda's shoes, instead she did the author a favor by keeping them from getting into that kind of trouble in the future, and not even asking them to change it. In fact, if they continue posting about this type of thing and use original material, she will be their biggest supporter.
And as far as her not knowing what plagiarism is, maybe you should have actually looked at her post before making that statement.

And your definition of plagiarism is...?
Ever heard of fair use...?
I look forward to your reply!
Since you were looking forward to my reply and I gave it soon after, can I take your lack of response as a concession? Silence is acceptance?
Look, I don't know you and despite my feelings about what you said and did in regards to my friend, the fact that you chose to support the subject matter that this post was about suggests that we all share one rather important viewpoint, much more important than an argument over the way each one of us defines; or our personal perceptions of the word plagiarize.
It would be really great if you could remove your flag from Linda's comment, maybe even take that one extra step and apologize for what you said about her, then who knows we all might end up friends. In fact this is very similar to the way one of my closer friendships on the platform started- (Him giving a friend of mine shit that was unwarranted, my telling him what I thought about it, him being wise enough to recognize I was right...lol ;)
I've got better things to do than light up virtue signalling white knights on a cobbled together social media that glitches and loses posts with regularity lately.
Interesting how you jump straight to claiming victory lol.
What did I say to the SJW that I should apologize for in your opinion?
I don't tend to get along with others who seek to impose their morals on others. Govern yourself, not others.
Loses posts with regularity..that's news to me. I haven't lost any posts. And I'm sure you're aware of the ddos attacks that are causing the glitches. This site being enough of a threat to be under attack is an excellent sign actually. Considering it happened right after the announcement of the social media tokens they intend to release that are far more user friendly than any current competitor, it's even to be expected.
I have no idea what an sjw is.
If you spent hours researching and putting together a post then someone came along and took that post, changed a few words, and called it theirs, you might understand why she felt the need to address it. You spoke about where the line was on what's considered copying, I might ask you the same thing. If there is no line, then someone could take one of Stephen King's books, change the wording in some chapters and a few scenes and call it theirs--is that fine with you? If so we have a difference of opinion that can't be resolved.
It has nothing to do with morals, just simple respect for other people. At least that's what it is about for me, and why I bothered to come here and say something to you. I' all for self-governance, but it would seem that a certain level of maturity is needed to do that effectively.
SJW = Social Justice Warrior.
You haven't addressed whether you understand the concept of fair use, and I don't see Cheetah or the steemcleaners here so then the original post can't be plagiarism.
Have a nice day and consider using your thinks in the future, your feels don't matter.
I've learned what an SJW is, and I honestly feel it applies to you far more than her in this situation. Serious irony in that, as there is in you referring to me as a white knight. Except I'm defending a friend where as you seem to be defending your own opinions all based on fractional understanding of what you're talking about.
For instance, I'm fully aware of Fair Use, you're the one who is confused about it.
Fair Use:
the doctrine that brief excerpts of copyright material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder
I would say that the words BRIEF EXCERPTS completely invalidate your argument that this post- before they included the link to @canadian-coconut's original work- falls under Fair Use.
Again, some irony in the whole "use your thinks and not your feels", every comment of yours makes it very clear that your emotions are involved.
Have a lovely day yourself ;)
This is a condescending comment.
Because I don't recognize the self proclaimed authority the author claims? Feck off!
Right, a certain level of maturity that it's apparent you don't possess just yet.
Your comment is and are condescending because you are showing no consideration that the perspective of other could be right and you could be wrong or that there's not necessarily such a thing as right or wrong in some situation.
Just like when a predator wants to live and its pray also wants to live, both are right and from their perspective, both want to live.
Ironically, you are self proclaiming that you are right while canadian-coconut stated her perspective.
Passing off someone else's work as your own...you know I'm not even a fan of labels. But it's just consideration for this author to have at least stated that he got this information from @canadian-coconut's post. However being new, there is definitely room for a certain amount of leeway, which Linda gave, as well as helping him out because others would react a lot worse about it than she did.
This is why it irks me that you flagged her comment, it's okay for him to copy her work without mentioning her, but it's not okay for her to point that out or give him a heads up that will help him avoid serious problems here in the future?
You keep using words like copy, do you know what they mean? Burden of proof is on the accuser. What percentage of an article has to be original before you raise the plagiarism flag?
Now you're making me laugh. I suppose I need to remind you that the only one raising flags here is you, and if you're going to attempt to play word games, or the game of definitions, you'll need to be more careful of the words you yourself choose to use. Also, as we're not in a courtroom, and neither of us are in any official capacity, then the widely accepted definitions for plagiarism: The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. And Copy:
1.make a similar or identical version of; reproduce.
2.imitate the style or behaviour of.
all stand in this instance based on the common language and it's agreed upon meanings when dealing man to man. And those definitions do indeed describe what was done in this post. Not that I give a shit, since the only reason I am here is to support and defend my friend, and the author of this blog conceded, and something tells me they won't be taking their material from other steemit blogs in the future.
So is it just that you enjoy debating and you couldn't find anything else in the comments to debate, or do you really have a bug up your ass about these words you're picking out? If it's the latter, than why?
Considering your hall monitor remark, I'm guessing it hasn't been that long since you left the indoctrination station where such people roam...
Ever heard of fair use?
I made the mistake of asking your definition, which is irrelevant.
You're irked? You come in here white knighting for a sjw with no proof to back up her serious accusation.
You might have picked up by now that I have personal experience shoving plagiarism allegations accusers asses.
Who are you hall monitors that pretend to speak for the entire steemit community?
I see a suicide victim upvoted your post too, did she will somebody her account or has it been stolen?
Oh, I see what you're talking about. I think she must be apart of @teamsteem's curation trail. Or was a part of it... I wonder what they can do about something like that.

Okay, you've lost me on this one.
You're lost alright...
Dude, you really are a child aren't you? lol!!
