This is not true at all and again......another example of second hand information and not knowing what transpires in the background. The word "hacked" was inadvertently used by some member. Ryan simply had to appologize for the word being used and as to it's legal ramifications. Get it straight Paul, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Then again......go right ahead. I seriously doubt anyone is listening.

Look at the Language that you are using in these posts!

There are children who read this forum!


They are here to learn Bonsai and not learn this kind of name calling on a PUBLIC Forum.

Take it elsewhere.
You are dragging this Forum to the gutter!

How come you feel the need to go to a different web site to air your dirty laundry guys. Not enough band with there so you have to come here and use ours.

It would be nice if you all decided to clean up your site using your own dollar.

The problem has been pointed out here on BT. Now please go to your respective sites and clean your own socks privately.

Further thoughts on the matter

Anyway of closing theis thread. Not so much because of the overall topic but simply because it has become a place for some other forums to clean house without using their own band width.

And before some get a chance to say it. Yes I am to blame also. The diffrence is that I have have figured out that I was wrong. I should not have been going on about another forum here.

If I had a complaint with the other sites I should have made my complaints known there. I didn't and that was wrong. For that I am sorry.

Hopefully I am not the only one smart enough to scream halt on how the subject matter of this thread had changed in the last few posts.

Right you are.
'What is Plagiarism?'
Reading the last few pages won't tell you.

Mission accomplished for the catalyst.

We now return you to your regularly schedualed thread.

To the Owner and Administrators and the general membership on BT, I would like to offer my sincere apologies for my lack of decorum in relation to the discussion about the events at BC.


Without making excuses, I did not start the discussion, however when I read what was being said, I had to give my side of the story. One of the problems associated with being banned from a site is that you get no right of reply to the accusations that are being leveled at you.

Those people who know me will understand that I am not normally a vindictive person, however I abhor injustice.



Again, I apologise for my part in this debacle. I will say no more


yours in bonsai

Yep.....your right Ron. I of all people being a moderator for some time should have known better. This thread started out on the subject of plagiarism then went way out of focus. Just give it to an inherent reaction of one protecting them self when given a sucker punch! But please let it be well known.....I am not the one who brought my site into this venue. If I gave offense.....I'm sorry to all but not to the ones who offended me and my site.

Best, Phil

I would like to apoligize for my small part in this as well. I would have steered clear, however, I could not after reading some comments that weren't true.


Cheryl

What happened on BC is part of an overall pattern. Now the facts are out, both sides stated their positions, and people can decide for themselves.

I know who I believe. It isn't hard.

Now we'll close this thread, and see if we can get back to bonsai.
