Ron Borges - Plagiarist?

You're not even reading your own posts any more.
I am not defending anyone.
I am pointing out that, as Ace says, the penalty Borges has been assessed is not a "slap on the wrist" as you put it, but can be reasonably be inferred by other examples as being the industry standard in such matters.
This isn't a defense. It's an exchange of information.

 

Fenian - if that is the case then can you just come out and say that what Borges did is indefensible and categorically wrong?

 

If what I wrote is the case, can you answer the question of why you accused his employers of giving him a "slap on the wrist" when the available evidence from all around the industry says it's dead in the middle? Do you simply not know what you're talking about?
(Note, I'm not answering your question because you posed it. Period.)

 

I knew you wouldn't answer a direct question. You like wiggle room. A trait common to weasels.

 

I am not answering your question because you posed it. Period.
Anybody else want to ask? I'll answer them.
But your little cockadoodledoo's get tiresome, and you've shown yourself willing to blow up entire threads by posting personal information in an indecent fashion so, no, I won't answer you. Because you asked. No other reason.

 

I think its because you want to be able to puff out your chest when you see Borges and say something like, "Don't let the bastards get you down Ron. Just so you know - I've defended you right down the line."

BTW - after a page and half of back and forth for you now to say you won't answer a question because its coming from me is disingenuous at best. Especially seeing how you just asked and I answered a direct question from you on the baseball thread.

Is your middle name Weasel or Double Standard?

 

I will not answer this question from you.
Period.
Anyone else?

 

Fenian, do you think what Borges did is indefensible and uncategorically wrong?

 

Let me answer for him ...

 

Can we ask anything we want? And he can't refuse us? Like the wedding day in 'The Godfather'?

 

Fenian Bastard, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter... 's wedding... on the day of your daughter's wedding. And I hope their first child be a masculine child. I pledge my ever-ending loyalty . . .

 

An African-American colleague asked me what would've happened if Borges were African-American. I told him that he knew the answer, the guy would be out of a job.
