It obviously looks like playing a victum card is going on. People call out for support.
No one wants to say they are protecting their ego. That is under most spats. Egos are fragile.
After copiously doing the "cut-and-paste without attribution" game for so long - I can't believe that you would accuse someone else.
You're too much coadie. You don't even acknowledge your error. Most of the stuff you say is unsubtantiated and could never be supported. The stuff that does make sense can be Googled and found on other websites posted by other people.

Pretty funny, huh?

Okay, I was going to stay completely out of this, but this has been something that has been interesting to me for a while. There have been many times when I have seen a very well written, well thought out sentence in the middle of Coadie's regular paragraph (which let's just say may not be up to the same literary standard). Just for fun I would do a little copy and paste of my own into Google and what a surprise...the entire sentence had been lifted from a blog or an article.
Now in Coadie's defense, I will say that this sudden departure in grammatical and literary style serve as a clear signal that said words are indeed written by someone else...I think that's just as good as a parenthetical citation.
Okay, I'll go back to my cubby-hole. I'm just messing with Coadie a little. He is entertaining sometimes, but he does absolutely plagiarize in his posts.

What's hilarious is that MOST people DON'T copy and paste unless they show that it's from somewhere else with formatting, and credit the source, and then their comments are separate. Coadie copies & pastes all the time, and leaves it as part of his post with no separation or crediting the source.
If you don't show that separation in content and/or credit the source, people assume you are the author, and that is deliberately misleading to the reader. e.g., DISHONEST.
The fact that he does it often is clearly why he would expect that behavior from other people. You don't look under a bed unless you've been there once yourself.

I have seen entire posts that were nothing but a cut and paste job. It's obvious when you put an entire post into google and ONE website shows up...LOL!

I'm sure he'll say this and it's an easy response, but....
HE doesn't HAVE to prove it. YOU are the one that has to prove it's copied. That's law, it's ethics, it's human decency, and it's biblical.
Furthermore, it's unprovable that something is original. How would YOU prove that you haven't led a secret life of great immorality, drug use, and crime? We could all get on here and accuse you of it. How would you prove us wrong?

I think it's all done in an attempt to make himself appear to be as educated as he claims to be, when in fact, it makes him appear quite the opposite. JMHO. (no copy and paste)

Smackdown time. People do seem to enjoy gossiping about others.
You can trash people if you wish. We even have a movement is society called social justice.
