It's true. She not only copied the language from the arguments themselves, but even the intro and segues. Also, she cowardly removed that video without apology or comment. She's gone beyond just mailing it in, which I thought was the worst you could accuse of her before. Her one saving grace these last few months is that she hasn't gone SJW.
Kind of a hack job on her part. What, she does 5-7 youtube videos a month. And most of them are opinion pieces. Opinion pieces are a fairly low bar to start with. I don't watch her material so I really don't care.

But she has a good voice, good presentation skills, people find her aesthetically pleasing. She actually could have a future beyond what she is doing right now, if she doesn't crap it up. She either needs to either come up with her own material, or she needs to figure out how to ethically source material she wants to represent. Hell, that is the job of a newscaster is to present the work of other people.

It looks like she really did plagiarize, but conceptually (via rewording the sentences) rather than using his exact words.

The funny thing is the coincidence of Scott Clifton's twitter being @cliftonsnotes (sp?) while it looks like Jaclyn took her own version of Cliff's Notes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CliffsNotes) of his video for rewording later in her video. Except for "June." That one sounded like she just read her own note and was unable to fit it into a newly reworded sentence.

I've never drawn a picture of a rhino and I'm not going to start now.

On a related note, a week or so ago was appaently International Rhino Day - a thing that I didn't even know existed. This turned out to be unsurprising since it was an utter failure with not a single rhino visible anywhere around here the whole day.

Technically I guess you could say it's not strictly plagiarism since she rewrote the script in her own words but it's fair to say she has copied the ideas and structure from that other video.
It's definitely plagiarism. Paraphrase that's too close to the original (AKA patchwork paraphrase) is still considered plagiarism even if you cite the source—and I'm guessing Glenn didn't h/t the original video.

Oh shit! I've got to start reading these international day things properly. I thought it was the start of the Rhino hunting season and went out and bagged myself a couple for the pot.
My birthday is international Talk like a Pirate Day, due to a misreading I spent the day trying to look like I was recovering my landlegs. I think people just assumed my Elyse impression was improving.

Billie from Ockham wrote:I realize (now) that it's a give-away when I quote PZ Myers, but this bit (in bold) is just too good:
PZ Myers wrote:There are limits to what we should tolerate on campus, though. For example, in the case of Condoleeza Rice being disinvited from the University of Minnesota campus a few years ago, I approved. I thought it was great that students were campaigning actively to stop her, because they were exercising their right to free speech, too.
Has that been a consistent position of his ... that campaigning to shut someone up counts as free speech? It seems a tad Orwellian to me.
I noticed that too, but surely PZ can't have forgotten "power" here. Some groups have more power to get their free speech to shut people up.

Islamists, feminists, SJWs have an incredible amount of power when it comes to shutting down free speech, and engage in a lot of "punching down", i.e. targeting an Iranian woman forced to flee her country, and who faces a daily hate mob of Islamists and far-left Islamist-enablers.

BTW, if you want to shut down PZ's free speech, simply shout "tentacles" at him whenever he opens his gob. Apparently, he quickly moves his hands towards his crotch, gasps loudly, and runs off to the changing rooms/toilet!!!

Yes, we do know what you'd do if another blogger on your network were outed as a plagiarist: first you'd confidently and blindly defend him against the charges, attacking those who uncovered the plagiarism (Slymepitters) and anyone with the temerity to even acknowledge their detective work, and then finally when you find yourself with no other option you'd begrudgingly do something about it.

That's what you meant, right, PZ?
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What a terrible memory PZ has. He was also slow off the mark the criticise Werleman for his plagiarism, and much worse follow-ups in trying and lie and smear his way out of it.

As much as I dislike Becky and Peezus, its not surprising to me that Jacklyn Glenn is getting accused of plagiarism. I've never watched one of her videos and felt I came away with a novel perspective on anything. Her channel seems to be set up for people who want to hear comfortable arguments that they already believe echoed by a pretty face.

Pretty sure everyone is aware of that. It's just that her failed attempt at drawing a horn makes the horn look like an eye. So, "further insult" is the correct answer. :lol:

BTW, I can't draw for shit so I can't really be pointing fingers. On the other hand I'm not peddling my art to gullible people.

If her intent was to render the horn on her drawing, she unfortunately stylized it to look just like an eye. It will always be mistaken for an eye.

As a cartoonish sort of drawing, an eye in that spot doesn't look terribly out of place. It makes the critter look like a Groening character. But, we found the source photo not long after the ceramic, so it's been a Pit joke ever since :D

Interesting article. Thanks for the heads-up John.

I'm still fascinated by the Europa project although the discovery of liquid water on Mars is equally intriguing.

It's not water, but it IS water based.
I believe the upcoming Matt Damon film 'The Martian' is based on autobiographical details of our own Richard Carrier.

Anyone know where to find a babysitter like that? :bjarte:
Sure... I'm always happy to help: http://www.ogvorbischildservices.com/

Peez is really just spoiling for a fight with anyone anymore. Never met a med student who impressed him? Even if it's true, he needed to say it?

Of course, everyone who sees that is thinking, "Then why the fuck are you so impressed with Rebecca Watson?"

I'm not as bright as Peez, but it looks to me the middle tweet below is the opposite of what he's trying to argue. He's saying willful ignorance is excusable, but genuine stupidity is not?

It's not water, but it IS water based.
I believe the upcoming Matt Damon film 'The Martian' is based on autobiographical details of our own Richard Carrier.
It is salt water.... which is a bit like the ocean. The salt content is different than that of Earth oceans, but the ocean is made of salt dissolved in water. That is what they identified. Mars has a type of salt water on the surface at certain times of the year. This could support exiting life and also be used as a source of fuel, fresh water, and oxygen for explorers.

I am not sure if this a defense or a further insult to Amy Roth's artistic skills, but that second thing near the snout is not supposed to be an eye, but rather a budding horn.
Oh my god. This changes everything

Now she is a good artist.
Peer review will do that to your work.

PZ is accusing Jaclyn Glenn of plagiarism.
PZ got it from Rebecca Watson, who wrote:
Previously, I revealed that atheist, anti-feminist vlogger Jaclyn Glenn has to plagiarize YouTube comments in order to string a simple thought together. I then went back to blissfully forgetting that Glenn exists, but she apparently has continued making videos for people with extremely low standards. Last week on Twitter, someone let me know that she had once again been caught plagiarizing, but in this case it was an entire YouTube video from another atheist vlogger.
At the risk of becoming to Jaclyn Glenn's Capt Picard, let me point out two things about the above.

First, the idea of Rebecca Watson criticizing anyone else for "making videos for people with extremely low standards" evoked an actual laugh out loud.

Second (and proving that I learned nothing from yesterday's experiment), what is the simple interpretation of "previously, I revealed that atheist, anti-feminist vlogger Jaclyn Glenn has to plagiarize"? Does it seem to suggest that the writer [Rebecca Watson] did the work of detecting the plagiarism? If so, you have been misled, as Ms Watson did none of the work. She copied it from Ophelia Benson who, in turn, copied it from someone else.

If one reason that plagiarism is bad is that it deprives the person who did the work of the deserved credit, then I would say that Ms Watson is also plagiarizing when she takes implied credit for detecting the plagiarism of Jaclyn Glenn.

As to the plagiarism of Jaclyn Glenn: it doesn't surprise me one bit. Unlike the other Atheist Babes (tm), by which I mean Shoe and Cris Rad, I have never seen an original thought in any Jaclyn Glenn video. Oh, and she has the least-attractive body, as well.

"Oh, uh, HEY PATREONS, I know, I know, I said I'd post a new video every Wednesday, and it's actually Friday but... uh... you know how it goes. Yeah. So I've dyed my hair but I did a half-assed job on that as well, so it's pink, I guess? Anyway, I think it works. So... updates? Quizotron is in the works. I should update the web site one of these days, I guess? My cat has been eating my plants. That's cats for you! Sooo.. legal costs are expensive. I might post the bill so you can see how much they are, but I probably won't. That's it for this week!"

If your painting is suppose to be something concrete but you have to explicitly tell others what your painting represents you're either younger than 5 or you suck.
Given all the interest in plagiarism these days, it would be easier for her to just post a link to the picture she copied:

"Copied" is a very generous description.

He might not want to badmouth neurosurgeons; he might need them at one point and they seem to have a peculiar sense of homour.
