quade 3 #27 December 31, 2010 I won't speak for other people who may have done something and I won't undo what they've done because I haven't heard from them yet and there may be more to it . . . however . . . I warn people about attributing material they quote pretty often lest anyone else think the words came from themselves. (Just ask Turtle or skyrider.) In this case, while the quote was from Pulp Fiction, there were no quote marks around it, nor was it attributed. While I instantly recognized it as a movie quote, I guess somebody else didn't. By itself and without understanding of it being quoted material, I understand why the moderator that hid the post did what he did because yes, it does use a racial slur that would normally be a violation of The Rules. If, in fact, that's all there is to it, I'm sure it will be worked out.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #29 December 31, 2010 Quote"Sex" is the broad category; penile/vaginal intercourse is just one of numerous sub-categories of sex. So, of course oral sex is a form of sex. Silly semantics doesn't change that. There ya' go! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #32 December 31, 2010 OK, it makes sense to delete the racial slur. But I don't get the movie quote thing. Movie dialogue is hardly original - usually they're saying already commonly-used phrases. If I write "Whoa!", I'm not quoting Keanau Reeves. But I can see copying several sentences as a copywrite issue. So is there a hard and fast word-count? Or is it just moderator judgement?Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

There ARE people that go flippin' nuts when certain things are said. If you're going to quote anything it's a good idea to attribute it so people don't think YOU are the one that said something THEY think is stupid. It's for people's own good because not doing it causes issues exactly like the one that I believe just happened here. As far as the Copyright issue goes, again, movie quotes aren't an issue. No movie company is ever going to come after anybody for quoting any line from any movie. It's just not done. Just be aware that if you quote them without any context, somebody may, as I think was in this case, assume they are your actual thoughts and may take action on them. Large pieces of blog posts and articles from news . . . yeah, that's technically an issue that we've talked about controlling in the moderator forum and some day we may move to restrict that but that hasn't hit critical mass yet. It's a well known fact I personally disagree with JohnRich on a number of issues. That said, when it comes to his posting of discussion material, he's actually a model that's pretty close to what is probably safest in terms of blog posts and news; a -short-, relevant quote, a LINK back to the source material and a short reason why he posted it. Lastly, there's just flat out plagiarism. This is where somebody tries to pass off another person's writing as their own original work or at least don't attribute it as somebody else's work and there's likely to be confusion in a reasonable person's mind that the person posting it actually wrote it. That is, just flat out stealing another person's thoughts in order to "boost" one's stature in the group. I see people do it all the time and that personally bugs the crap out of me. I see it as being no different than attempting to pass a photograph you didn't take as one of your own or tell somebody you've written a great song when really you've just ripped off the Beatles. Nobody is going to arrest them and put them in jail for it, but I, for one, will think they're a much lesser person for doing it.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutumbo 0 #34 December 31, 2010 nope. not sex. its foolin around/hookin up/messing around/had some fun/whatever with. the number of people ive had SEX with is different than the number that i have hooked up/fooled around/whatever you wanna call it OTHER THAN SEX. as generations change/ come about so do terms used to describe things change. (id give you an example but ive been up waay to long). i think that this is just one of those things.Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

LadyDoc 0 #36 December 31, 2010 It is sexual contact, yes; however, many nowadays don't consider it to be anything as "intimate" as sexual intercourse itself. Therefore, it's become more casual. My younger sister's best friend would hang out with guys and if they asked for something, she'd do it. She "felt bad for leaving them hanging and didnt want to make them mad". She ended up blowing half of her fellow employees and contracting an STD (from the ones she had sex with as well). PERSONALLY, I couldn't have any form of sexual contact with just anyone unless there was a certain level of intimacy.If you disbelieve everything because we cannot certainly know all things, we shall do much-what as wisely as he would not use his legs, but sit still and perish because he had no wings to fly.-JL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManagingPrime 0 #39 December 31, 2010 Is it sex? It's been best described as a sub-catagory of sex. It's also not nearly as intimate as sex, yet carries many of the same risks. But still, it's more like one of the nicer ways to say thank you, or to blow time (pun intended)...closer to intercourse than a backrub, but still....
