   Rochelle Frankposted 3 years ago

   Who would you nominate? I have been hanging around here for a dozen years and am blown away by the work of Rupert Taylor who writes informative, interesting, amusing , prolific and deeply researched articles on a wide range of subjects. If you haven’t been following him, you should be.

      I just wrote up a little testimony to the writer I  find most inspiring on this site. Then I realized my post was probably going to get her articles stolen by one or more of our new people who don't seem to understand what plagiarism is.
      
      I'll just say I think she is the most prolific, successful, expert in her niche on this site and in my opinion is the benchmark we all should be aiming for.
      
      No offense to Rupert. I like Rupert too. Don't steal his articles either please.

                                    No I didn't. Not at all.
                                    
                                    I said, 'Bloody hell, you two...' That is an expression common to Brits and, for example, is used quite often in the Harry Potter films. It means, 'For goodness sake.'
                                    
                                    It's because your posts said nothing at all. Just a word followed by emoticons... and it went on over two pages and completely hijacked the thread where the OP had asked about their earnings.
                                    
                                    And now you are doing it again.
                                    
                                    Do you want me to detail some of the things you have said to me in the past, Das?

                              Oh, right. No, no one on HP will steal her work - they'd be pretty stupid to do so. I thought he meant the world at large. If he's written a hub about her, then certain members of the public may read it and decide to plagiarise.
                              
                              Well, we take that risk every time we press 'Publish'. And you can't stop anyone using your work as the basis/reference for their own article. The problems arise when they closely copy it.
