15 Charlotte Twitter Accounts to Follow This Football Season

I don't have a dog in this fight, but it sounds like it comes down to whether or not you credited him... you say you did, he said you didn't.

 

What were the original tweets in question and that should answer it?

Well, sorry to say, but I don't find anything in that email he sent that would warrant losing my respect.

I didn't see the tweet he viewed as plagiarism, but I would assume that it was pretty blatant if he felt the need to call you out on it.

If I plagiarized his tweets, then yes, I would.

 

I don't think you did it maliciously or with the intent that he claims, but if you posted a Tweet that's word-for-word what he Tweeted then you definitely stole his poo. 

 

He's a writer - his words are his assets. I don't think you'd Tweet one of Zod's pics without saying he took it, would you?

I've deleted all the tweets I 'plagiarized' out of respect. This is how it went down.. During Hardy's court case JJ was flooding twitter with updates. I made a tweet saying "These following tweets are not my own. Credit goes to Jonathan Jones and I proceeded to make 4 tweets. He was obviously upset I didn't credit him in every tweet individually.

Of course not. In the above post I explain how it went down.

Wasn't there already one thread about this beef with Jones?

 

Honestly, you probably should have just let it go after he blocked you.

I mean I see why you did that, and I also see why he's upset... if I quote a tweet, I always add "RT" and keep the other users handle on it.

 

I say let it slide and make sure you add RT to future tweets.

 

JJ's coverage of the Hardy trial was outstanding imo and I told him so.

 All JJ had to do was DM me and say he wanted me to RT his tweets and that would've been the end of that.

Chalk it up as a lesson learned by all parties involved...

No offense, but if feels you're stealing his work then he doesn't owe you the respect to handle it privately. And let's be serious, he just called you out on Twitter and blocked you. It's not like he called the plagiarism cops on you.

True enough, but that apparently wasn't good enough for him.  idk, maybe you weren't the first to do that and he didn't like it, or maybe he'd had a bad day... who knows?

 

 

In general I think reporters have gotten a little over zealous with the "breaking news with twitter" thing... I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a great source for things exactly like the Hardy trial, but it's not like they're writing a published paper or something, so again, I see both sides of it.  He apparently felt like you were stealing his work product.

 

It may be the fact that you have "Freelance writer/reporter" in your profile...  if some regular shmoe like me had done that he wouldn't have cared as much?

it is what it is, I just don't find it to be plagiarism when I clearly stated these next few tweets are from Jonathan Jones, credit goes to him.

^ This..... and as far as I can tell, JJones never insulted Jakob during the exchange either..
