"Yes, Hive account@bartcardi I'm calling you out and no it's not OK to copy someones words. EVER!
It is however OK to read someone's work and derive your own meaning from it, then put it into your own words. And this is the path you should have taken but maybe that would have taken too long."

Thanks for drawing attention to posts like these. If someone is plagiarizing and being boosted by bots I, unfortunately, have to give them a down vote. I want this to be a positive community but we need some standards of ethics.
