Macman said:I've already emailed him, I'm waiting to see what happens. I explained to him that though I don't know him, I do get many emails and newsletters, though I don't remember who I got that from, I did write such a list, though mine was aimed at display types for certain uses, not quality versus price so much, and was busy, so I wrongly copied and pasted it in as I was in a hurry. i have never met this person, and have never heard of him, but it was definitely wrong, just because I was in a hurry and couldn't find the one I wrote at the moment is no excuse, I should have posted what I could remember from memory and posted the actual write up later. This is no excuse, though I mentioned to him in an email that it was sent me in no particular format that I can recall such as 'this person wrote this', but that doesn't make a difference. basically, this is unacceptable to me, and had I known it had been written as a specific purpose in a publication sort of newsletter of any kind. The Bottom line, I was wrong, and am waiting for his email where I told him I can edit it or have it deleted from the thread by a mod or admin, either way, once he decides, I can not personally, knowing that i did wrong, (though its almost exactly like my write up, though I didn't have the eizo display listed at all, let alone as the highest quality.). Basically, once he lets me know what action to take, and I take it, I won't be a part of this forum anymore. and as far as him not being able to send me an email through my public profile, my settings are set so that anyone can email me, so I can not say what happened there, though i do receive emails from other members directly, either way, you will see the change in this thread, either an edited or deleted post. and thats it. I will maybe see you all around here or there. later.
theres no more to the story than what's been posted here, but I should never have done such a stupid thing, and IMO, don't deserve to be on the forum, and I can not forgive myself for something like this, though I've not done anything like this before, and never will again, the fact still stands that I did it, and it's not that I seek forgiveness of any kind, though scott already told me he is not mad at me or anything, but there's no way I can rightly stay a part of this great forum after such a thing. I am not saying that anyone here has said that I shouldn't be here because of this, and I don't expect anyone will, but as a mac user, and a person, this was so wrong, I just can't see my being allowed to stay, and I can'tschweb said:Yes, plagiarism is wrong.
However if this was a simple mistake, it's easily fixed and easily preventable in the future. There's no reason to leave a board over it.
Unless there's more to this story than we know?
I agree, though as far as I'm concerned, this mistake isn't even acceptable once.MacAddikt said:mistakes are okay. it is one of the best methods for learning. but a mistake of a certain nature is only acceptable once.
