Are you not picking on me for picking on him? Mayhap you're being a tad serious... And now I'm picking on you for picking on me for picking on him.

In any case I've made one post bemoaning the lack of credit for cut/pasted work and the lack of posts from his own mouth.

I'm not saying "don't post others work", just "credit them and intersperse it with your own thoughts ideas and words."

Why get on my case for expressing an opinion once after a years worth of posts like this from Arvon?
[/QUOTE]Becouse you got personal with him. Maybe he does not have any of his own work, and just surfs for fun stuff to share with us. Whats it to you to point out that its not his. Your disapointment is your own. I dont know, I just think you were a little harsh with the plagierism and regergitation remark. I dont think its anyones business as to where or how he gets his information. If its his ethics to "steel" stuff and post it here, you should not judge or question him. Its his post, not yours. You certainly dont have to read his.
[/QUOTE]LOL! Kathen I fail to see how you are in any position to criticise me speaking my mind when you are quite happy to speak yours against me on the issue. Apply your reasoning to your posts to me in this thread and you'll find a "do as I say, not as I do" situation. Your points against me have amplified what was simply one post after a sea of Arvon threads.

Doctor heal thyself.

[/QUOTE]So that makes it ok?
Here we go again Yorick ,

Like I said, It was his post to begin with, and you picked on him for it. Im picking on you for replying with your negativity.
Whats with the semantics anyway. Your articulate come backs dont inpress me. You started the problem with your reply to him. Pointing the finger back at me does not excuse you of your berating someone for not quoting the proper person for a joke he found the internet. Oh wait, It was only the first time compared to his endless posts, so its ok, right?

Doctor heal THYself...

A mate of mine used to say:

If you shamelessly copy one person - its plagarism,
If you shamelessly copy two people - its research,
If you shamelessly copy an entire genre - its homage.

1. Stop the off topic bickering, please.

2. Remember to cut some of the longer quotes, they get incredibly cumbersome and Z isn't fond of 'quote pyramids'.

3. Arvon, your jokes are fine, but if you DO have a credit to give, please do, as we're asking that of people who repost articles of serious nature - or just put the thing in quotes or italics or something [img]smile.gif[/img]

4. I'm off to bed, so let's keep it civil, shall we? *sets [img]graemlins/choc.gif[/img] to watch*

And I'm picking on you for replying with negativity. You can't see that all I was doing is what you yourself are doing. Having a problem with a posters post and expressing that they change their behaviour. I fail to see why I should alter my behaviour at your request when by requesting you are doing the exact same thing. If you cannot see the contradiction here then I'm at a loss.

You've blown this out of all proportion with a vendetta-like persistence. Leave it alone Kathen.
