Such an excellent article Roy! I hope your Substack gets a big following. I will re-post this on my Gab. Somehow I keep hoping, likely naïvely, that it is not simply a designed echo chamber for conservative voices. You know, gaB as in Bag? Effectively a digital concentration camp...

Maybe that's why it disappeared from Brian's WordPress late last night?

He's well into in his 80's. Not that tech savvy although high praise for everything he does.

It happens on Paul Alexander's posts too: He forgets to link, and attribute. (Can be confusing.)

All good.

It's the message that counts but I certainly like to credit the original writer when I post anything (in other writers' stack comments) and make it clear (by block quoting) in my own stack article, that I am quoting another writer's words.

Credit where credit is due or it's plagiarism.

😉

I provide links and annotate, usually providing context whenever possible.
