I just caught blatent plagerism for the second time from one particular answerer. Is it okay to call them out and let the others know that they are plagerizing? I've already don't it, I just want your opinion.

Also, from "Why am I scared of Mushrooms" A resolved question that he plagerized from a site I included in my response. He won the votes.

This is the reason for the box below the answer. (Know your source, list it) Just because something is on the internet, it does not give you permission to "copy and paste" without giving the source. This is illegal. I always either tell my source if I used one or add the link. Information online can be copyright protected.

I say yes and no. if the guy was trying to pass this off as his own info and knowledge then yes. but sometimes people just know where to look and are still trying to help by giving someone the info that they found on a nother site. If I ever refer to something from another site I always add the link so they can see where I got it.
just my 2 cents worth
