I've been accused of plagiarism

[Sand Castle]

I'm not going to say who or when, on this forum. It doesn't matter. All I know is that I have been accused of committing plagiarism by a member of this forum. For those who don't know (probably all of you), I am RedNickD and/or RedNickII from YouTube. I also upload to the Maoist Rebel News sometimes.

I would just like to say that I don't remember stealing anyone's works. I always say where I get my information in the sources sections of my videos. Usually, when I read something verbatim, I say where it came from either in the description area or in the video itself. I have some videos made by other people on my channel, and I always say "I didn't make this" in the description area. Often YouTube communists request that their friends copy their videos.

The same applies for stuff on my blog.

I don't want to start a fight, I just want to ask. Where have I plagiarized anything? Tell me and I'll go give the original maker credit.

PS: I posted this in chit chat because it's a petty matter and if I did something wrong it was by mistake.

I've only heard the main Maoist Rebel News guy being accused of plagiarism:

So you are MRN?

[The Feral Underclass]

He seems to be asking a pretty reasonable question. Is anyone going to answer him?

[Sand Castle]

So you are MRN?
No no, I'm not MRN. But I can upload stuff to his channel. I'm not the main guy.


according to my sources, this guy used a username called "RedNickD" almost everywhere and was a revleft member a while ago. he's also been plaigarising other people's stuff for years too.

EDIT: "RedNickD" is another guy on MaoistRebelNews's youtube channel. this is him:

This is what I'm refering to. But I see Pavlov has made an edit saying I'm a different person. So I assume this means you aren't accusing me of plagiarism given that I was confused with someone else?

This is really dumb, I know. I posted this thread in the middle of the night. But, given that this quote can be easily misunderstood, I'd like clarification from Pavlov that I'm not being accused of plagiarism.

And yes, yes MRN does ambush Canadian patrols all on his own, but he is retired now which is why you won't see him in fatigues again. He just does his news show.

Did you look at fa2991's link?

MRn is a douchebag, which makes you a douchebag.
Thus, ye fail.

@ bilan, you might want to consider confining yourself to the "post here when you are drunk thread" until the champagne wears off.

You want a fight, psycho?
I know you're a bouncer, but I can move quickly.
They call me mighty lightning. Just saying.

[Sasha]

shut up,

Huh? What on Earth are you referring to?:confused:

There was a joke about him ambushing patrols in the thread that I dug up the quote about me from.

Since you're online, what have you to say regarding the thread fa2991 linked to earlier in the thread?

[Sand Castle]

There isn't much I can say. I did nothing. Any proof you have against MRN, any proof he has against RevLeft (for something), is not relevant to me. I would defend someone, but that goes against what I've been advocating to him in private. That is, no pan-internet troll wars. The same goes for all of you. Everyone needs to stfu except me and those that I need to speak with about me. And when that's done, I stfu.

If WSWS and the Maoist Rebel have a problem, then they need to work it out by themselves.

With that being said, please get Pavlov in here to clarify what he meant, and so I can be absolved of all plagiarism accusations (I'm innocent).

I originally wrote that^

It's not relevant to you that you upload to a YouTube account of a known (and documented) plagiarist?

I'm hardly hounding the guy - I'm well within my rights to call out plagiarism on a public forum.

Is WSWS even aware of the problem? Indeed, as a presumable associate of this person, have you even brought up the issue with him?

I don't think anyone here is accusing you personally. But it's obvious that there's some kind of communication problem occurring - because as I have noted in a previous thread, your presumed associate can copy posts from this forum verbatim except, strangely enough, the URLs that demonstrate his completely unattributed lifting of the work of others.

I'm fully aware that plagiarism, of all things, is so low on the totem pole of moral failings that it's not even illegal unless done for profit. Nonetheless, it demonstrates a painfully obvious lack of personal creativity and an utter dearth of any kind of professionalism, and I believe that such shortcomings can and should be addressed for the benefit of all concerned.

Since you appear to be in some kind of personal contact with the individual under discussion, it would seem that you are one of the few people on this planet best placed to bring up this issue.

I would be genuinely pleased if you were able to resolve this, since it would mean the speedy and satisfactory end of the whole debacle, terminating any further possibilities for trollish activity by any party.
