I have, many times and I am not going to make a career of it. For those who have not noticed what SIGNYM is about, even though some here have been exposing her and another pretty extensively makes me wonder.

Examples I'm afraid would be wasted on you. There have been hundreds in recent months. If you still don't get it, then there is no hope a few more would make a difference.

Think about it. It is the same for MAGANSDAUGTHER. With all the posts in recent months it is beyond me how she could be confronting me with the argument she is. She must not have been following the many other threads. If she has then she must have been ???, to the many lies, deceptions and subjective posts by SIGNYM and 1KIKI, myself and others have confronted them about.

If you are going to cherry pick the down trodden you are going to champion and deny all others, then you are really not championing anyone. You are only hiding your agenda behind them. And that has been thoroughly exposed.

So no cites, then?

I wish I could say I was surprised.

I do not waste my time digging up examples for those who have had them laid out at their feet on numerous occasions and are still incapable of recognizing them for him or her self. It is just a waste of time.

I will however throw you a bone. Start at the beginning of the Russia invades Ukraine thread and by the time you get through it you will have seen hundreds of examples. If you do that, I will tell you where to look next for more. Not to worry, it won't take much effort at all.

Besides my point was that SIGNYM trolls the news to cherry pick stories that expose faults of the west only. Her sources submit facts taken out of context based on assumptions and criteria from persons and groups that judge based on their ideology. Therefore it severs little purpose and should be ignored.

Well, if you MUST know, I "cherry picked" this story from that radical-left, west-hating organization NPR. In fact, it was from that serious and intense foreign-policy show called "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" ... which is in fact a news quiz show where they pick up strange stories from across the world and have fun with them.

In this particular case, the strange story was about regulation being written by the Home Office in the UK, commanding daycare teachers to screen their young charges for "terrorist tendencies". The host and guests had quite a bit of fun with that one, particularly as ALL toddlers are terrorists from time to time! But it was such a bizarre story, I just couldn't believe it until I found at least a couple of sources on the internet ("Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" sometimes tosses a few ringers on, or adds to the story to make it seem more bizarre than it really is.) And seeing as it dovetailed so well with what we were discussing, I thought I'd post it.

You should listen to that show, it's pretty funny!

First quote is from me that SIGNYM just reposted. The next is her.

My point was and remains you only seek out stories that bash the west. So tell me how this is different? The show you refer to is not cited with a link and it is a comedy show. They search for stupid headlines to poke fun at. Again, they search for stupid headlines to poke fun at. You search for stupid headlines to post that bash the west and are salted with untruths and spin. Another problem I had with it is you post it here as a story we should be considering as factual and as giving an accurate accounting. This is a story that comes from a self-proclaimed radical. I similarly pointed out that the link you provided also offers a dating service. Not very professional.

Once again I am forced to point out the way you answer posts with responses that suggest the post was talking about something else. Once again, my point was you lie and only point out faults of the West. You have a communist agenda. Therefore not only should you not be taken seriously, but you should be ridiculed as well for being so erroneous.

I didn't "seek out" the show. I was working in the kitchen, as I do on the weekend, listening to the radio as I'm wont to do. The show IS a radio show. However, there is a link with a transcript, which I've very kindly found for you. (You're welcome.)

SAGAL: Remember the underwear bomber? This might be the Pampers bomber?

DICKINSON: You mean carrying large loads in their diapers?

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Does anybody - can anybody guess?

BRIAN BABYLON: ISIS?

SAGAL: Who are?

BABYLON: A terrorist?

SAGAL: Yes. They are supposed to be looking for toddler terrorists.

POUNDSTONE: Yes.

(APPLAUSE)

DICKINSON: No.

POUNDSTONE: Oh, yeah.

SAGAL: Yes, under Britain's...

DICKINSON: How they ever met a toddler?

SAGAL: Well, that's the thing.

DICKINSON: They're all terrorists. Crazy.

(LAUGHTER)

BABYLON: I mean, what is it like - gaga, googoo, Osama bin Laden?

SAGAL: Something like that. Well, under Britain's new antiterrorism plan, nursery school teachers are required to report 3 and 4-year-olds that show terroristic tendencies.

BABYLON: What is that?

SAGAL: This includes tantrums, always refusing to nap and at snack time, attempting to hijack airplane spoon that's coming in for its landing.

But the reason why I sought out ANOTHER source is because I just couldn't believe what I heard. The panel does that ... adds oddball comments to extend the absurdity of the news item. I just couldn't believe it was real.

Where you first heard about the topic is of less concern to me than what and how you post, but you know that. You have been at this a long time. You chose to address my comment about the show and evade the plagiarism and manipulation of others researched work accusations I hurled at you.

When I post a response to something you say it is for the benefit of others not you. Why, because for me to respond to you as though you actually gave consideration to something that did not fit into your distorted view of the world, would mean I did not get the big picture of SYGNMY.

This post as well is for others to see how I responded back to you, not to illicit anything else from you.

I responded fully to your accusation of "plagiarism" here. http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=59022 But to help you out with your apparent confusion of what plagiarism is, here is the definition

Quote:
Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism

Another author. One.
But I gave you some leeway. Assume I'm a particularly sneaky plagiarist. Maybe I kyped the publication of two other authors. Maybe even three!
But dozens? Yanno, at that point, it's no longer plagiarism, it's research.

But even worse, the longest phrase that your checker found was 10 words ... 10 words. One of the phrases that your checker flagged was

Quote:
Commission (EC), the IMF, and the European Central Bank (ECB)

Do you have any idea HOW MANY people have written that phrase? That's because it's a brief description of "the troika" (I'm surprised you didn't flag that one too!), which is setting EU monetary policy. That's not plagiarism, son, that's just a lot of people writing on a common topic.

The fact that your plagiarism checker found short common phrases in common with MANY sources doesn't indicate plagiarism. What it indicates is the phrases are so common they can be found in DOZENS of works.

Apparently, you not only have no idea what plagiarism is, I think you just don't know what it's like when somebody posts something about which they have some actual knowledge. And since it's such a new experience (to you) you assume it must be fake somehow.

But if that argument doesn't sway you, try this: I realize that almost nobody here welcomes what I have to say, and therefore will not come to my defense on ... well, almost anything. OTOH, you'll notice that your "friends" here aren't jumping on this particular bandwagon of yours either. There's a reason why you're all alone on this "plagiarism" accusation even though you've pushed it in more than one thread.

Well, I hope you learned something!

Gorramit Sniggy, that obnoxious imbecile is forcing me to side with you. It's just not fair.
