Tolerance for plagiarism is a deterrent against constructive contributions by people who are capable of making them; it is poison to the lifesblood of any site that derives its value from “user-generated content”.

I am currently left to draw my own inferences. In prior discussions, I have seen it said that the administration avoids letting the plagiarism rule be used as a weapon in personal disputes; and in another thread, some idiot is accusing me of that. As a precaution, I must therefore ask what the reaction would be if I were to make a report as follows:

Proof that NFT technology will succeed: I see WOers slinging the exact same FUD against NFTs as has always been used against Bitcoin. Let’s see just how much this technology will totally take over the world:

“It’s a Ponzi.” ✔
“The scarcity is artificial. Anyone can make perfect copies of it.” ✔
“Drug dealers will use it to launder money.” ✔
“Those fools will be burned when it is shut down by regulators (SEC, et al.).”² ✔

I anticipate that as I keep reading WO posts about NFTs, I will be adding to this list...

What's struck me as a touch ironic is that bitcoiners are criticizing NFTs for the exact same reasons nocoiners criticize bitcoin:

"Anybody can make one." ✓
"It's a bubble and a fad that will never catch on." ✓
"It's a highly illiquid market, or else it's all wash trading." ✓
"Its only used by money launderers and criminals." ✓

What am I forgetting?

If the hypothetical Newbie were to cry the cliché, “We had the same thoughts!”, then—well, if that were to be accepted, then this thread should be locked as a waste of time. Anyone can use that excuse. Many do. In the future, not-so-hypothetical Newbies may take the handling of my complaint as a precedent.

As is clear from the above, I would have reported any user for this; and my report was motivated by my dislike for being ripped off. If anyone assumes that I made report because nutildah did it, such is a reflection of that person’s thought process—not mine. It only adds insult to injury that I have a long-running dispute with the other user, who must wish to avoid acknowledging me for a post that he evidently saw and imitated.

Let's look at it logically so we can help you understand why I'm not banned:

Only 2 of the 4 items are at all similar. ✓
The 2 items that are similar are worded very differently. ✓
None of the rest of the post is plagiarism in any way. ✓

Also, it's not that I re-arranged your post to avoid plagiarism, I never saw your post to begin with, and you're a bit loonie tunes to continue on in your fantasy where people can't independently form ideas similar to your own.

And yes, I took you off ignore because I knew you were posting about me. You just can't let it go when you are wrong, which is unfortunate, and it's part of the reason why nobody takes you seriously. I guess you were sad I ignored you in your earlier post where you tagged me, so you felt like you had to try harder.
