One of the diaries [that was] on the recommended list [was/is] a plagiarism.
Why Liberals often lose the debate on Gay Marriage
The author CUT AND PASTED [poorly, I might add] a diary from the Frameshop series by Jeffrey Feldman.
Here is the original work: Frameshop: Gay Marriage, posted December 3rd, 2004. The plagiarism begins after the "open" sign.
Please adjust your recommends accordingly. Do not allow any credit to be mistakenly given to this plagiarist. Jeffrey Feldman worked HARD on the Frameshop series, and I think we owe it to his work to let credit be given where credit is due.
allentownboy, you are a MAJOR ASSHAT. You violated the trust of "bringing your own to the table." Good luck ever achieving it here in the future.
UPDATES IN EXTENDED
Update [2005-5-6 14:28:18 by Clever]: allentownboy has updated his "diary" to reflect that he "unintentionally" plagiarized Jeffrey Feldman and has said he has apologized to Jeffrey. Do what you will with that information.
Me, I'm still pissed.
Update [2005-5-6 14:34:43 by Clever]:Now I'm MORE pissed.
Update [2005-5-6 15:3:40 by Clever]: The offending diary has been deleted by the "author". Please feel free to use this diary to continue discussion [or move it to Jeffrey Feldmans site: http://frameshopisopen.com] or for flicking peas.
Update [2005-5-6 15:47:47 by Clever]: From Mr. Feldman, the original author of the piece:
Thanks, everyone
The diary in question has been taken down.
The "gay marriage" Frameshop entry was one of the pieces that circulated very widely on the net. So it is possible that the diarist came across a version that was not attributed to me.
PLEASE UNRECOMMEND. Too many better/more important diaries floating by.
