#adhd and integrity are not mutually exclusive

Friends I regret to inform you that the sniveling conman formally known as James Somerton has reappeared with a 43min "measured response" apology video.

I refuse to give him the views but I am reliably informed he is blaming "recently diagnosed" ADHD for the copy pasting and general plagiarism. This is heinous and I am disgusted.

Protip, neurodivergence doesn't make you plagiarise. It doesn't make you magically incapable of distinguishing your voice and your co-author's from your source. The only reason citation would "slip your mind" is if you had already decided that you didn't care about plagiarism and how it impacts the person you're ripping from. I've done university courses that required multiple written assignments medicated and unmedicated and because I cared about not plagiarising I somehow managed to not. Incredible innit.
