Not of works? Really?

[Fisher of Men]

There is an almost invisible line between copying and posting without the permission of the author and plagiarism.

eric,

I think I disagree, I think the line is visible, in fact very visible, like one of those real thick Marks -a-Lots, you know the ones that leave the real wide line. You know, you can't miss it. I mean it's a really thick dark visible line.

Nevertheless, I suppose eric was afraid that I did in fact commit plagiarism, perhaps even up to 4 times, and him saying that it is a fine line was his way of being merciful as though he does not want to be of a condemning heavy handed attitude toward me. I appreciate that eric if I am judging you correctly.

I suppose further, that since I did not respond quickly to the accusation of plagiarism, that it caused me to appear guilty. But of course it is impossible to know whether I committed it or not unless I either come out plainly and say so or if some diligent enquiry could be conducted that would conclusively prove one way or the other.

I would like to explain why I asked Super Jew what was his definition of plagiarism.

And by the way Tess, I did not see your post with the definition from the dictonary of plagiarism, but with all respect, I didn't ask you. The question was directed to Super Jew

Super Jew,

I did not want to think evil of you, also, how do I know whether or not you know what plagiarism means? Maybe you got it mixed up with another word. You know, I do that sometimes. So I didn't want to judge you wrongly.

To be honest with you, I couldn't believe someone would think that. There had to be some kind of mistake, like maybe your definition was mixed up.

I mean I didn't know what to do with this accusation. Should I take it as a compliment? Should I be flattered?

So far, I've got, I think 2 people who believe that I have copied and pasted someone elses work and have not indicated when I posted these documents that I am not the author thereof. Now that is plagiarism by my book because it would be supposed that I am the author since I did not indicate that I had not written it if indeed I had not. I am actualy really curious to see how many people thought I plagiarised someone elses work. I mean I would like a poll to find out.

The other reason that I did not respond quickly to the accusation was that I felt that because of the attitude displayed by some on this forum that I might be thought of as a liar anyway. So why bother?

OK, enough of this, I will admit openly before God and everyone else. I confess.

I need more maturity.

I am really getting a kick out of all of this.

I mean it would have easier if someone stood in the gap and reproved eric and Super Jew and made it plain that it was wrong to accuse without evidence and that the evidence submitted was not acceptable since, how does anyone know whether or not that website belonged to me?

I have to get off now, my sister urgently needs the computer. Will be back.

Shalom

FoM,

Are you playing a game here?  I have PM'd you privately and asked you if you are the author of those articles and you have ignored the PM.  So now I ask you in pubic, and I do expect an answer.

Are you the author of the articles with wich you have begun four topics, or are you copying them  without attribution here?

It has been all day and Fisher still has not responded to the moderators, who have asked for his sources. He is purposely trying to trip his brethren rather than just admit that he is the author OR give credit to the appropriate source.

Enough of this game. The discussion is over regardless and this thread has become nothing but a game to trip folks.

This thread is closed...AND if the others get off topic, they will be closed as well.
