Would the person posting as Peter Nyikos call *this* plagiarism?

[Spartakus]

The person posting as Peter Nyikos recently accused James Keegan of
plagiarism, even though Keegan had correctly credited the author of an
opinion piece he had posted. What would "Nyikos" make of this?

"Although GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis
presented his "Musings on Water" for publication as
original works, portions are identical and nearly
identical to an essay on water written 20 years
earlier by now-Colorado Supreme Court Justice
Gregory J. Hobbs.

"A Clemson University expert who reviewed McInnis'
work next to Hobbs' essay called it a clear case
of plagiarism of both words and ideas.

"McInnis' water articles were a required part of
his two-year fellowship at the Hasan Family
Foundation in 2005 and 2006. The former
congressman, who left office in 2004, was
paid $300,000 to do speaking engagements
and 'research and write a monthly article
on water issues that can be distributed to
media and organizations as well as be
available on the Internet.'

Maybe the IOKIYAR* rule applies.

* It's OK if you are Republican.

to be fair, the liar posting as peter nyikos might well agree that scott
mcinnes plagiarized since mcinness is not a roman catholic priest. if he
were, the person posting as peter nyikos would probably defend him.

in the case of his malicious lie about me, the person posting as peter
nyikos was simply doing what he does so often. he was lying.
