If someone copies another person's post from another platform and pastes it here, should they link to the original, or at least say who they got it from?

@maxleibman I can't even imagine an argument for doing otherwise that wouldn't amount to "Plagiarism is ok if I found it on Twitter"

@thekitmalone @maxleibman how about "I refuse to link to a nazi"?

@tomasekeli @maxleibman @thekitmalone Meh. Doesn't impress me once you've decided to serve up Nazi copy pasta. I'm just going to be questioning your motives too much to care.

Why in heck would anyone want to steal a quote from a Nazi? Personally, if you are repeating the words of a Nazi I'd like to know.

Also yes direct linking: notably the only possible way to attribute words to a source on the Internet.
