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 are viewing a single comment's thread from:
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?
