The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

think again before leaving as you can see by this board you are liked and will be missed rise above this and try again! don't let anyone get to you you are wise and have very interesting things to say

I totally enjoy ready what you have to say. Please don't go. There has to be some of the rudist human beings on this site. I rarely post because I am afraid some idiot that has nothing better to do, will critize me and other people for their own opinion. Hey we all have disabilities in some form or another and anyone that thinks they don't is fooling themselves. I always appreciate you insight. Hang in there you have alot of us who want to hear what you have to say.

I say cut & paste, & change a few words, or wording. There is nothing anyone can do then. Plagiarism is word for word.

Hi everyone! I don't post very often, usually just flip through the board and read everyones' ideas. But this, I had to say something about. We are all watching the same soap and seeing the same scenes on TV, so it is only natural that many of us would have the same ideas and/or opinions about what is going on with the show. So if GCAC (whose discussions I usually enjoy) did copy/past someone elses post it is probably because he shared the same opinion. Further, it is not plagiarism because the post has not been copywrighted. It is also possible that posters on this board post on different boards under a different name and use the same post on each board. Not saying that is what is happening here, but I don't think SC is going to take GCAC1122 to court over a plagiarized Y&R opinion post. The idea of it sounds pretty much absurd.

All that said, if it is that big of an issue to some incompassionate posters just put it in quotes. Problem solved easily enough, yet I'm still at a loss why something like this would be an issue on a discussion board. This isn't college, the articles are not being submitted for profit, or is anyone really being credited or compensated for their ideas in a legal sense.

I like to post in this forum for fun and to see what others are thinking about the show. I like to talk about the characters, and what should happen. I like to see what others think. To think, that someone feels he must leave this message board because others do not use their editing skills and feel this is the forum to offend or make fun of someone is sad indeed. You have a disability that is something beyond your control. Bad manners are within our control. Do not let the small minded ones win. Rock on Bro. Keep on posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote gommie]... Nor have I Eppy- course I don't read all the threads either- so I'm not saying it hasn't happened just that I have not noticed it-------I really don't get what the big deal is anyway--so what if he copies and pastes his feelings that have been expressed by someone else??????if it is easier for him-why is it such a problem--don't we all do that in a sense when we type ITA- lazy way of saying what we want to say without having to typing it all out- this is a soap board -not English Literature or the NYTimes...if people would just take care of their own faults and try correcting them instead of trying to point out the faults of others, this would be a much happier place........
I was the one who posted a response HOGWASH to this thread:
Adam Vs. The Newmen Family My thinking
GCAC posted his scenario and ask us to reply with our opinion........mine was that the scenario was HOGWASH--Not the poster, not his thread..but his scenario.
I say do whatever works for you GCAC-it may be
Plagiarism,,but I seriously doubt anyone is going to come after you over it........

i think you and many others said it all, who cares?? i tried to diffuse it but i failed, i am angry that someone hurt his feelings, totally unnecessary

GCAC HERE to give soaps.com a an other try I STARTED A POST ON * Michael Gross*- signed a 2 year deal with Y&R can you say the next MURDER S/L.......... my thinking plus all we need to complete this story THE GREAT Meredith Baxter and hardly no respond' s with it so you wonder why i feel like have to be descriptive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, I read your posts too. I usually just post in other topics, so anybody who starts new topics is all right with me. Glad you're staying on.
