So, I don't think that is even it. Attribution of source is not the problem And I am not sure Dr, K. really means that.

I took what was said, since there are links, is that it has no Attribution to the context or the conversation and so at minimum, a bit rude.

It is devoid of any added thought from the Poster, and to me represents bad forum behavior, ie SPAM. It is a slight to readers. It is lazy, non-communicative, etc. And it sloppy, therefore meaningless.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

and several of those links are internal links to their original directory tree, leading to dead ends if not selected through the actual source of the copy/paste bullshit:

footnote link [1] link location: https://www.rollitup.org/#cite_note-0
"echo chamber" link location: https://www.rollitup.org/index.php/Echo_chamber
"new york sun" link location:https://www.rollitup.org/index.php?title=New_York_Sun&action=edit&redlink=1

and the rest lead to other sites, including Rush, and several blogs.

without knowing the ACTUAL SOURCE of the text itself, it is simply more tripe.

it took me all of two seconds to google the first paragraph and answer that question.

it takes longer to post the complain than it does to find the source.

kynes is just being uppity.

the last cheeziepost was googled back to literally dozens of websites from the lefty echochamber, which all used identical text, but you could never be sure which one was the originator.

why should i have to chase down the source of a plagiarized quotation? thats why sourcing is required. if you cant figure this out, it explains why you had to drop out of university, even one as dubious as ASU.*
