What'd he plagiarize 5/31/2011 9:02:40 PM |

He was a respected guest columnist for the Economist and was doing a service by posting here on the side.
Then some trolls tried to strip him of the title. Bitter feud ever since. 5/31/2011 9:04:53 PM |

i believe he was basically copy/pasting not only with no link or quote box, but also posting it as his own opinion
iirc
not that anybody cared a week later

seems like I remember a lot of personal IRL stuff that spilled over into the plagiarizing accusations.
After which it was just a general TWW pile on . . . . . . . .

That shit was probably the dumbest interwebz "controversy" I've ever seen. Holy shit, somebody posted something without a quote box around it, call the interpolice. 5/31/2011 9:34:40 PM |

when someone forgets a quote box that's one thing...but when they copy paste someone else and pass those thoughts off as their own, it's another.
sure it happens all the time, but that doesn't make it any less wrong.5/31/2011 9:37:16 PM |

Yeah, it wasn't so much the plagarizing that really ran him off, it just helped start the fire.6/1/2011 12:11:37 AM |

Assuming that you all are actually accusing me of being Gronke rather than doing that thing where when you view the thread it shows your name, then you are incorrect.
No, but we did have a class together which is how I knew him.
I think he significantly disliked me more than I disliked him. Go figure. So fear not, you're in the company of God and other titans if you find me incredibly offensive. I make the people who make people cry cry. 6/1/2011 9:29:28 PM |

I'll go on record as saying I don't think Gronke is stategrad100.
I don't think Gronke is anywhere near approaching the stupidity levels of stategrad100 and I don't think he's smart enough to pretend to be that stupid either. 6/1/2011 9:35:35 PM |
