I too just saw this post. A forum is a place for posting, if you don't like what someone posts, move on. I may check in here a couple times a day, sometimes I won't be on for several days, so sometimes I don't see a post the minute it's posted. I've been here over a year and only have 300 some posts so I hope your rant doesn't apply to me. If someone posts a nice coin or currency I will tell them, nice coin, etc and I don't care how many people have said the same thing. To make people fearful to post or chastising them will quickly drive people away from here, and the forum will die. I was especially sad to see Bobby post that he gets complaints about someone posting too much. Come on, grow up, how does it really impact on your life, that's what the site is for... quit belly aching to Bobby, he has enough BS on his plate just keeping this site alive.

I think that everyone is in agreement that everybody is entitled to their opinion on the forum after all that is what makes a forum. However, I think that most of you are missing the op's point! The Rhant is about saying the exact same thing word for word like they copied and pasted it it like it's being said for the first time. Hence (Parroting) In other words, use YOUR OWN words not someone else's!  |

I think you're right, I've misunderstood this from the start I think. I haven't noticed these "parrot" replies to be honest.

I am in the camp that is saying ... let everyone post their opinion ..
Even if it is the same opinion that others have posted.
If you don't like some members opinions, don't read them.
I like getting several opinions, when I post. After a while you will start
to figure out who knows what they are talking about.

Stealing other's comments word for word then using them as your own... what good is that? Opinions are obviously welcome anytime. BUT If you (anybody) are going to add someone's reply and want us to believe it is yours (anybodies) then at least change it up a little. |

Great point Mark! Plagiarism is one of the worse things you can ever do. Errers and Varietys.

I too missed the OP's original focus on word for word copying.
Apparently, I do not hang out in the sub-forums this has been occurring in or I am quite oblivious. Either or both could be the case.

Brilliantly worded, Tootallious! Well I don't know about all that but thank you. It basically comes down to grade school! Reading and comprehension Some end up way out in left field totally not reading and comprehending the point that the op is trying to get across. The next thing you know everyone is following suite and the original point that the op is trying to get across is lost.  Edited by Tootallious

Tootallious, don't worry. That wasn't directed towards you at all. I was just talking in general (not you of course).  You did that as an example, to show what it's like. You have nothing to worry about, as everything is cool between you and me.  Errers and Varietys.
