I can see the Obama libtard on this forum  has no clue what he is doing and how dishonest they are. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

It's intellectual dishonesty.  It's also part and parcel of what's continually pointed out about you "conservatives" all day long around here.  If all you can contribute is a copy and paste of the words of others, it casts doubt on your ability to rub a couple of brain cells together and think anything through on your own.  Kinda' suggests you're being led around by the nose.

Completely missed the point.  :wink:

It seems to me that so much time and thought is wasted on thinking who is more intellectual and honest, than actually looking at the point made....and that seems to get dismissed and the issue ALWAYS turns into a "look who is smarter" pissing match...who really give a flip if somebody cut and pasted a point...this is a forum, to discuss issues....does it really change anything?

He copied it from someone else and did not identify the source. Only those who have no intellectual repertoire assume others' work as their own. It is the WORST kind of intellectual dishonesty and implies that very little, if anything the false author asserts in the future is very nearly fatally flawed. Matters not what the quote was/is; all that matters is that it was plagiarized, and the guilty party has an indelible stain on his/her reputation.

I don't think willy is here to engulf a loving and honest relationship here..(I may be wrong)..and I'm not defending him/her.....I'm simply pointing out, that there was larger point being made and it got knocked aside......and the poster became the point of the issue.

The poster's reputation for accurate and incisive posting is ABSOLUTELY at issue.

If you and willy disagreed, whose post would you think I would be more apt to believe?

The difference between a poster who wants to debate and discuss  a subject, and one who just wants to "score points" and flame, is the utilization of original thoughts derived via critical thinking. When one wants to discuss something using the work or words of another, one provides citations indicating the source for the posting. When you don't your cover is blown along with any credibility you once possessed. . . and the gloves are off. . .

And willy's done nothing but try to engage in flame wars since he got there.

The poster in question certainly has made it clear he/she did not come here to make friends, engage in lively conversation, nor adhere to standard etiquette; moreover reading through this person's historic posts it is unquestionably clear that the above quoted statement is spot on.
