On the one hand, you accuse a person of plagiarism. On the other hand, you accuse them of using that plagiarized work in the opposite of its original intent.
I don't understand how that's possible, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

"Using that plagiarized work" as part of an agenda that is the complete opposite of the original author's intent, yes. UFC has a record of introducing proposals for the express purpose of disarming the World Assembly, and I have no doubt that the current resolution is just part of that campaign, and has precious little to do with a sincere concern to quell nuclear proliferation.

His statements on the topic have pretty much admitted this is a back door NAPA repeal, or as close to.

Thanks for the brief lolz, but this proposal can go away now.

Oh no, thank you for the lolz. "Fuzzily defined open source work"? "Moderators thought it was legal enough to get to quorum"? Man, I thought you were ignorant of GA conventions before, but this is too much!

If it is plagarism to use a clause similar to someone elses, then I say we condemn everyone that starts out their proposal with "The World Assembly". As that clause was used by someone else.
What about someone who uses the exact same preamble of a previous author, and then just slightly paraphrases the operative section, just so they could say that they didn't really steal someone else's proposal? Because that's what you did.May I also point out we still have not heard Franxico's rebuttal?
We did. He said he did not give you permission. And on the AO boards, he said to "crucify" you. That does not sound like someone who's willing to be flexible on this.This is politics plain and simple.
Yes, the politics of stealing a NatSov's proposal and passing it off as your own so you can continue pushing your fluffy anti-nuke, pro-appeasement agenda in the World Assembly. They are your politics that are serially inundating the GA queue, not ours.
I seem to recall a mod ruling telling players not to hold offsite remarks against people on the NS forums. Being that there's no positive way to verify that offsite accounts are actually controlled by the same people as the NS nations that have the same name. I'm not saying GR's wrong that I said that, but I am saying that he is taking my remarks way out of context and that it's bad form to be posting screenshots like that to imply that there's some sort of "secret conspiracy" afoot to screw over the peaceniks. There is not, and for the record, Douria and I have not been coordinating on this proposal at all, save for the public remarks made on the AO forums and this thread.

Also, you're comparing apples and oranges. There's much difference between holding someone's offsite comments against them on the NS forums, which is what GR was doing, and matter-of-factly stating something they said offsite to answer a player's question, which is what I did. If you can't see that, then I really don't know what to tell you.
