I don't think the rehashing of Fark material is the problem. I'm concerned that our discussions of that material is no different. As TFPers, there's no problem with us picking up a thread from somewhere else and running with it in our own unique way. However, I really hate it when I see TFPers clearly copy-and-pasting someone else's thoughts directly from Fark and presenting it as something brand new and clever. I guess they think no one else reads Fark and no one will notice the plagiarism.
But then again, CBS keeps reporting that all of you high schoolers think plagiarism is a way of life anyway, so what can you expect?
