Not sure if it is legally possible to plagarize yourself.

What? No Faye, rip him a new one! He deserves it!

Carl-E:
No, he does not. 

From the fundamental character thread yesterday, please forgive me for self-quoting;


--- Quote from: Carl-E on 15 Dec 2010, 11:17 ---A lot of this is the bourbon talking, too.  It's simplified his outlook and view of the situation, 'cause face it, you can't analyse anything complex when inebriated.  Drunken epiphanies are garbage in the sober light of day. 

I can actually hear his slurring of "Commere an' gimme a..."  (Why do "stinkin" drunks seem to always wanna kiss someone?)

In some ways it's unfortunate that he probably won't remember this.  Because Faye will. 

Always. 

Sorry, this isn't shedding much light on Marten's fundamental character, but it's more along the lines that what we're seeing in 1818 isn't really his fundamental character - it's a proto-Marten, like a laptop running in "Safe" mode - severely impaired at best. 

That's a helluva lot of bourbon for a skinny kid, even counting Hanner's glass (which he probably finished off after she left).

Faye's forgiving him, though.  And now, he knows it, even though he doesn't know why. 

After all, what are friends for?  And despite whatever remnants of sexual tension there may be, they are still the best of friends.

I'm afraid such unethical practices are not unheard of in the academiae. For the purpose of making your list of publications look longer than it actually is. I am uncertain as to whether it is illegal, i.e. whether you could be tried for that in a court of law, but it is most certainly frowned upon.

tbones:
I love how Faye doesn't seem angry at all. Marten made a stupid mistake, and Faye is forgiving him. All's right with the world.
