OK OK OK - I know that im in school and shoulf probably not be saying this cuz you know ill look incensitive and evil- but i think that anyhing that goes out into the public sphere is public information. when i go on the radio and deliver the news i dont cite where i got it from. when i cite "die standing or live kneeling" i dont have to cite who originally found the quote it was said we all know it we use it.
papers and stations get info off of each other all the time- thats why we report - we want it to go to the public forum
i think this logic can be applied here- she quoted someone and it became part of the public sphere of knowledge
so i do not think the man should have so publicly scorned- think that the people were just looking for a way to get rid of him i mean he was over 80 yrs of age.
however I think that he did not make a "mistake" from his article it seems he is a very arrogant man. he probably did not want to start one of his high class articles with a quote from an undergrad student. I think he was being too arrogant to be careful and that is not a good excuse.
the girl had the right to be mad she did a lot of work and then some pomp-ass arrogant man stole her work and don't see her worthy to credit her-
it was a mean thing to do but i think the consequences were a bit severe- i suspect that there were further provocations
it is almost to nobel of an act for the editor to make- to take a student so seriously over a well established column writer-
