It's only recently I've been going on other forums (should that be "fora" to use the correct Latin?) and since going elsewhere I've realised (to my surprise actually) that threads, posts, ideas etc are getting copied/pilfered/adapted/utilised whatever you want to call it from all sorts of different sources every single day. I don't particularly have any issue with it, I come on here to read about LFC, have a bit of debate about issues affecting the club and generally just have a bit of a light-hearted hoot with some like-minded individuals. I'm not a*sed for a millisecond about one-upmanship about who's posted the best topic or who's come up with the cleverest reply or who's had the most posts etc etc   

St Mick has demonstrated over the long term that he's a valuable member of the forum who contributes so much more than he detracts - how many forum members could we honestly say the same about - so the whole thing should be consigned to the forum dustbin.

This is after all a discussion forum, not a point-scoring exercise

I think you might wish to rephrase that Judge.

It's a shame my article (yes I'm the same Redtone who posted this on the other site) had started a proper debate on the merrits of Morientes rather than the merrits of plagerism, courtesy and point-scoring.

I agree this has probably been blown out of proportion  However, effectively what St Mike has done here is stolen a piece of work.  If he had taken an article from the Times and posted it as his own, then he'd be at risk of legal action.  Now I don't believe my work is worthy of payment nor do I wish to persue this.  But I don't think it's unreasonable for people to show a little courtesy to someone who has spent a couple of hours working on an article by crediting their work.  (put it another way, after doing a good piece of work how would you feel of a colleague tried to claim the credit for it?)

I am considering whether I should try and make a career of writing.  As a result, it's important that 1) the work is credited correctly so that if someone sees it and deems it worthy, they contact the correct person and 2) I get feedback to judge whether I'm improving or not.

In the end I don't think it's much to tag on "I read this article by...." when taking a whole piece such as this - and I suspect all the people who write about Liverpool on the various excellent forums would only ask the same.

Agree totally, it's common courtesy to acknowledge if you're quoting somebody else's work and St Mick should know better but I think it's unfair how this has been blown up into a big issue against him when, in reality, this kind of thing clearly happens all the time between the myriad of different footy forums.

Anyway Redtone, I enjoyed your mini-article, it was a good read - good luck with the writing career of you go for it
