OMG! Plagiarists Are Welcome

Hello WA friends,

Can I share my own rules on Plagiarism? Thank you.

1. Don't waste any energy worrying about Plagiarists
2. All Plagiarists are Followers and not Leaders
3. Plagiarists will eventually be caught and punished
4. See Rule #1 (and repeat as many many times as necessary)

(feel free to plagiarize my rules, I have plenty more you have not seen yet.)

There is a discussion on plagiarism. If you have not seen it, here are the threads

Are we overreacting, yes, and here's why...

The human mind is constantly creating new ideas always refining and improving. When someone steals your idea, they only get the idea that is already out in the world to the public.

But the new revolutionary idea that's based on your original thinking (pedagogical thought), that is still evolving in your mind, or you are dreaming up, no one else has that. I just added #2 to my above rules, so all the plagiarists who claim to have written the previous rules are missing #2, because it's not their original idea. Get it.

Colton is more than capable of coming up with his own new ideas. Because the ideas are his, everyone will only be following the older versions. So the plagiarists are following Colton's old ideas. That's why there so many followers and so few leaders.

So unless someone works out how to grab the idea while it is still in our head, like the thought police in the 1984 movie, we should just get back to work. Distractions cost time and money. Maybe we should just copyright our minds.

So in closing...

Don't worry about plagiarism

See you @ the Top!

UPDATE

This blog is not buying into the present plagiarism dispute. I am simply stating what I think about anyone plagiarizing original work. I am glad if the dispute is settled and thank you Marion for bring to my attention. This blog stands.
