How is Martin anyway? Haven't seen him around in a LONG time.

He kinda comes back calm then things get heated up (like smelting hot) and then he vanishes. I think I remember seeing Fer-De-Lance, perhaps when browsing through archives.

Joseph Smith

marg,

If you're asking me if he posted under multiple screen names, the answer is no. I won't discuss him further on this board or I'd be doing the equivalent of what Sam is doing on Kevin's board which is a pretty pointless endeavor.

Good hell. If you are who I think you are, could you please discontinue this line of discussion? You can ask that on the board in question. I don't think it's fair to speculate about a person on a board where they're not posting.

And no, I'm not de-inviting you. I'm inviting you to stay on topic and myself as well.

So, in an attempt to get this back on topic...what constitutes plagiarism on a board like this? How would we define it and identify it, and how important is this on a board?

Not really speculating, but ok, I shall discontinue.

I am not saying you shouldn't, I just got a realy strange De Ja Vous, and if you read my blog, I got a de ja vous in there too.

It doesn't matter if JAK also cites references. Sure, he does all the time. He also plagiarizes all the time. He does both. You mentioned something about wanting to see how the person reasoned to their positions. And as I said, you can never know if any given paragraph he writes is his own thought process or something he copied elsewhere. So I don't see how you can gleen a thought process out of his posts. I just think it's just strange how you've latched on to him. I can think of other critics who are civil (unlike me, I know I'm not civil) and actually make great arguments, why not one of them? Well, to each their own and all, I just don't understand it. But really, it's not like you owe an explanation there or anything.

And final point. You asked for an example. I gave you an example, two, actually. And. that's that. An example that fits the bill perfectly with the point I was making on the other thread. I would hardly expect you to do a 180 in your respect for a person you've known for years based on it.
