<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Narrowing the Options: What Kind of
Plagiarist is Nick Gier?</span></b><br>
<br>
Now comes the backpeddling and hypocrisy, which is the point of my exercise.
Intolerista double-standards are as shameless as they are hilarious -- obvious
to all but themselves.<br>
<br>
Well. . . we hear, Nick's plagiarism didn't involve money -- except we forget
he was paid to teach this class at the UofI (<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Wilson</st1:place></st1:City> never got royalties from his booklet).<br>
<br>
Oh, Nick's plagiarism wasn't disseminated to anyone -- except UI students and
the whole internet.<br>
<br>
Oh, Nick's notes never involve citations, they're just reminders --
except if you look at his other notes, plenty of citations.<br>
<br>
Oh, Nick's plagiarism is petty and trivial -- except we've been told it's
a matter of principle not quantity.<br>
<br>
Oh, Nick is a scholar, he always cites the source in the lecture itself --
except that's what Steve Wilkins said, too.<br>
<br>
Nick himself says his "lifting" (his word) was just of something
small like a list of Bible books or a single word "alas" --
except that's not true: look at the example -- someone else's opening
wording, unattributed -- so now plagiarism doesn't count if it's just a
short-short theft from another author.<br>
<br>
Imagine a UofI student saying he "only" lifted one sentence
("and just ignore my other copying and pasting"). <br>
<br>
Nick's own criterion is to "condemn the use of authors' words without
proper attribution" -- with no limits on length, income, or medium. I'm
just asking Nick to live up to his own vaunted principle. That's not asking too
much. Where is the condemnation? <br>
<br>
Nick now admits "lifting" the passage in question; it wasn't even an
editing mistake. He's ruled out, then, two of the five kinds of plagiarist in
his list. So the question remains: what kind of plagiarist is Nick Gier? <br>
