ORIGINAL: EEdwardGrey She called herself pedantic first which is synonymous with anal and the word I said I would have used. Was the motive to take exception with my post a sincere desire to help, or an opportunity to show off? She's the one who called herself pedantic which one definition is being showy of one's knowledge. I cannot decide for you how you take my words or any advice given. You may believe I am showing off my knowledge. You may believe I was being of assistance so you would understand why the post may be removed. Only your own personality can define what you think my actions were, no matter what they may have been on my part. I am pretty self aware and honest of my actions so, yes I am pedantic. Some love it, some hate it. Again, personal preference. I deliver - you choose how to take it. quote:
To be clear I DID NOT obtain permission to post what I copied. In an earlier post on this thread I clearly cut and pasted the definition of 'plagiarism' from Wikipedia and I sure as hell didn't ask for their permission to do so but nobody is bitching about that. Is that any different? People cut and paste from Wikipedia in their posts all the time. Are they getting permission from Wikipedia? You also use a quote from me and you never asked my permission, and I from you. Are we in violation? Wikipedia has it own rules and if you go there, you will read and observe them. Copying from wiki is not a copyright infringement as it is public usage when acknowledged. The messageboard doesn't allow full copypaste of entire articles. You post a snip and then a link which acknowledges the citation. quote:
If what I did was some violation of the posting rules then this thread should disappear which would be fine with me. Whoever runs this site is entitled enforce the rules however they please and if they want to remove this thread that then that is up to them. I'm entitled to my opinion and I'll still think it anal if removed. Your personality defines what you think as I said before. I do not believe it is 'anal' to protect a site from copyright violations so if they chose to remove it, I would see that as nothing more than self preservation. Sometimes people think CM and CC is all about them, it isn't. If the site was brought down due to copyrights being broken, that would affect everyone, not just you. the.dark.
