As I myself observed further up the thread, the problem with the merits is not with the senders—to the contrary!  I myself almost sent merit to this post.  I would have felt cheated if I had.  It is one of the reasons why I am focused on this topic—one of many good reasons.

N.b. the merits from reputable users, who would not knowingly merit a copy-paste.  As I noted earlier, I had intended to merit it myself, and to make a thoughtful reply.



Why is this post not showing up?  It seems still to be available; and I have not received any notification of a deleted post.  But it does not show on the thread.  Is there now an actual shadow-ban function on this forum?

I believe that this succinctly illustrates the problem with Ratimov’s copy-paste jobs:

We don't give a shit what your particular definition of plagiarism is.

That wasn’t my definition of plagiarism, you self-made nutcase.  I copied and pasted that definition of plagiarism from Yale.EDU.  Wasn’t it obvious?  Roll Eyes


So, I guess that you “don’t give a shit” what Yale University tells its faculty and students about plagiarism.  That is acceptable:  There is no reason for anyone to give a shit about your opinion.  (Drop the presumptuous “we”.  It is obviously not a royal “we”, for there is nothing royal about you; and it cannot be an editorial “we”, for you are an awful writer.)

Lets all start google translating articles from other languages and opening new topics.
