To those who find fault with me calling out those who plagerize, I can only say....

I find it very "interesting" that posters who point out flaws of others, whether it be because they misspell Sumter with a p, say something about the developer, or in some way do not follow to the letter the rules of the forum we post on, tolerate, and in fact SUPPORT violations not only of the law but also of their forum.

These people either have two faces to present, or feel the rules only apply. in some fashion, where THEY decide.

I am not the best communicator but do not present myself in that manner. I recognize that, and thus simply state my thoughts.

I consider copy and paste of someone else's work to be lazy at best. Those who do it, normally are well aware that it violates the law and the rules of the forum they are posting on. It shows a disrespect for both and also for all the other posters that read and assume they are reading what the poster thinks and not what he/she simply copied and presented as their own thoughts

To the poster who felt I was ignoring the message contained, yes I was. I do not come on here to read what you or anyone cuts and pastes. What a waste of time that would be. Save that for an app that does it for you. This is the same arguement for those who feel I am deflecting. I do not deflect, and my post had nothing to do with the subject matter, thus my wonder is exactly who is deflecting. You all seem to be ok with cheating.

To the post pointing out the middle ground, I agree. BUT the point I made had nothing to do with the content. It had to do with violation of the copyright law AND the rules of this forum. But, you found that, it seems to be just fine. When someone uses anothers words without the courtesy of allowing the "listeners" to know that, they are presenting a fake and false idea and thus I simply do not even listen.

You post about extremes is something I have been preaching on here for a long time. You sentence "Being a centrist is not being wishy washy. It is seeing some of both sides. You both have some social welfare ideas that are good. You both have some conservative ideas that are good." is accurate and I agree. This non extreme viewpoint does not require going to the depths of the net to what are SPECIALIZED websites for extreme thinking.

I know this website is extreme but not even going to search for any information. I have pointed out the extreme websites on here any number of times and nobody seems to care, as long as it validates what they want to think...something many of those SAME people used to giggle about when speaking of this kind of thing in the past. I can recall a few of the posters here today who mocked and agreed on how you might find a site to validate UFO's if you looked hard enough.

To those who say you just do not care, well that says it all, doesnt it ?

i am more disappointed in those who know but do not care or those who carry two distinct faces with them and care on the main forum but do not care on this one. Yes, they say it is all GUEST and we dont know but we all know who is posting what thus that is not a good point to make.

While I can disagree with many, I, at least, want them to be honest and know that I am replying to how THEY feel, and not what some remote website told them to think.

I suppose having posters tell you "well said" or show an iccon applauding you is a reward, but I always felt this particular poster did not need any help in presenting his views.

It is striking to me to read posts who condemn loudly people of color or different ethnic groups for "violating the law" or showing "disrespect" for the law and others and yet applaud the violations we discuss here.
