[Vision2020] Things that make you go, "Hmmm."

[Scott Dredge]

It's interesting how these rogue pastors routinely botch the damage control on their plagiarism.  Doug Wilson gives this Mark Driscoll character the perfect out.  Just blame the obvious citation errors on the publisher and say that they will be fixed in the next revision.  I think the problem is that these oddballs wish to avoid any iota of being imperfect human beings because they consider themselves to be 'special'.  Joe Biden's admission of plagiarism didn't cause any long term damage to his leadership capabilities.  I guess it's a different ball of wax when you have a controlling and sociopathic personality and are reliant on duping your flock with smoke and mirrors on an ongoing basis.

"When a college student finds some sparkling prose online, and plonks it down in the middle of his otherwise tepid paper, making the stolen portion flash like a strobe light at the instructor, everybody knows that this is simple intellectual theft, clumsily done. That kind of straight across plagiarism can happen with books also, and does, with depressing regularity."
