The Magna Carta Essay
Disclaimer: this is by no mean an endorsement of plagiarism in any of its forms.<p>It is one thing to catch someone plagiarizing an already fake essay. In my opinion though, exposing the cheater on the Internet by name is a punishment with far more severe consequences, that does not exactly fit the crime. Furthermore, we're not even assured that the student managed to get a passing grade for his version of the paper. If he did, maybe his teacher was also part of the problem.<p>This type of insensitive public lynching is so reminiscent of primary school. Fortunately, we grow up, develop a conscience and learn to regret some of the stupid acts we took, just because we could, that still reverberate in others in present days.<p>Before blowing your horn, please make sure that you're actually righting a wrong and are not causing more damage than you're repairing.
