bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - CLOSED: AoB's First Annual Display Contest

Matt, it is disappointing to hear about the copying going on over there. As I pointed out once before, and only when I had to, Will also used my contact with Wayne and a springboard to publication of his own articles. I made the contact with Wayne in order to ask for a prize for the Styling Contest, and at that time Wayne and I discussed also having an Articles Contest at bT, with the articles to be reviewed by Wayne. I told Will about this, and before we could start our contest, he jumped in and ran with it. While that is not unethical, it is in bad taste. It's sort of like insider trading. Now to read that he did this with a whole contest format that you worked on.....

Some people can have original thoughts, others have to copy and make it look like their own work.
