Your True Self! ( Archived) (621)

Ambrose2007: That was the question GG was responding to, V. Far from being "holyer" than thou, she was addressing an interesting question and supplying relevant knowledge (especially for those here who seem so fond of claiming other people's works as their own).

Veritaas: Discussing this. But one cannot stop people from posting their opinions in open forum, that we all know. As I commented earlier on in this thread, the reasons why I did not post because I thought something was amiss.

I still believe that it was not right to mislead people into believing it was the OP's original work. Which she clearly did.

Maybe some feel a little embarrassed by this, who knows. Some obviously appreciated the posting without a doubt.

I wonder what the original author of the work would think, now that would be an interesting opinion to read.

Barrellofart: Ah, crap. When I wrote that it had {sic} in there, except if you use block brackets instead of wavy brackets if thinks that you're trying to use some kind of nonexistent text formatting, and eats it up before it posts.

Ambrose2007: Ah, yes, it was undoubtedly a tragic accident, much like when my classmate in high school trigonometry accidentally copied my answers in a test. If the teacher had simply asked him, he would've pointed out that he did indeed copy my test results, but that he did so accidentally, due to human error. If only my teacher would've given him the chance to confess his honest error before flunking him. True, my teacher did ask him repeatedly about his good score, and my classmate did on each occasion take credit for it, but that was all simply a human error-related accident as well.

Sometimes there just isn't any justice in the world. What a "holyer" than thou person my Trig teacher was!! What was the big deal? Why not just give my classmate an A and a pat on the back and perhaps even some humanitarian award?? I personally think my classmate was a saint...or at least a saint in making.

Dear heavens, if only people would become enlightened and mature enough to understand that it's not only no big deal when you take credit for other people's hard work - why, in fact, it's extraordinarily laudable!! Rather than saying that such actions are dishonest and unfair, we ought to applaud them and even consider worshiping them...if only from afar.

Veritaas: Yes I saw that, an interesting post. And very relevant too to the subject matter on this thread.

Thanks GG.
