No this is not what she argues, what she argues is that if you copy and paste another's words then you should quote them and in general if you copy and paste another's creative output then at the very least you should acknowledge authorship or ownership and if they are copyrighted then you should ask permission and pay any dues if owed. To not do so is unethical, philosophy forum an' all that guff.Bill Wiltrack wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 10:16 amWell, I mean, I don't get it but I feel like I have evolved & can no longer comfortably take the position of my distinguished fellow member.
And I respect you taking your position...but just remember -
She is making an argument against copy and pasting by copy and pasting.
She ALWAYS copy & pastes fellow members statement usually in failed attempts to attack them. ...
If you don't care why keep defending your actions?I don't care. Makes no difference to me. Kind-of boring but if that's her thing - so be it.
But you will anyway eh!I do take issue with one thing she has said recently, though I really don't want to pursue it.
Mainly because you'd have to be able to actually write one that would past muster I suspect.While back I did want to have an article placed in the snail-mail copy of PhilosophyNow Magazine. No longer. ...
Anyone can submit an article to the PN mag so I look forward to reading yours in the future.At the time I made some strong arguments for that urge. NONE of them were ultimately for my benefit.
So, she's distorting a past experience that was ultimately just a promotional plan I devised for PhilosophyNow web members to be given a rightfully higher esteem and recognition. ...
You want higher esteem and recognition? Subscribe to the mag and support this forum of which you take advantage.
Which just goes to show how little you understand of western Philosophy.But as far as argument, especially philosophically related arguments, I don't care how anyone chooses to form their premises. ...
You're the one who went off-topic?Just keep in mind, for example, we are not discussing ANYTHING philosophical related to the focus of this thread. ...
And that's your problem, you take critique of your thoughts as personal attacks, no idea why but I guess it's bound up with some psychological issue or other.The member that is driving you and your conversation right now is attempting to attack me personally. ...
Again you show your ignorance of western Philosophy, critique is there to improve one's thoughts. That I don't make initial posts very often is that I've read Philosophy and know how much of what I think has already been said and discussed. Now it might well be true that when someone posts what they think about something it is original to them but it's very rarely unique in Philosophy and with respect to your posts, well they are mainly just paraphrases of whatever has caught your attention in your latest interweebling.That member continually draws individual attacks as opposed to philosophical theory. Don't be fooled. Check-out that member's post history. They virtually NEVER add original posts or content. Just really sophomoric attempts to attack fellow members. Really for no reason or end. ...
I doubt they need your permission.Keep that in-mind. React however you wish. ...
lmao! The blow-thyself crowd must have wet themselves laughing. The goaturder might have an objectionable nature and philosophy but compared to you he's a philosophical giant.You weren't around back when but I saved that particular members ass when they were getting their **** handed to them by, what this entire site thought was a unvanquishable bully. I kicked that members ass here then then walked-over to a new site they consequently created - and kicked her ass over there too. ...
What a world of fantasy you live in. If I remember right your nose was right up his arse at the start.Ever since, the PhilosophyNow member that I championed has felt diminished by my presence. Just the way it is. ...
Obviously!-And I DON'T CARE! I have forgotten about the incident but this particular current member cannot let it go.
I'm OVER IT. [/size]
