that I can appreciate, but to come out and call it "plagiarism" publicly although we couldn't have done more to reference him...is absurd to me.
Feels like this guy is trolling every single one of us here - myself included - to get a reaction.

In other words, attribution does not save you from plagiarism.
I don't see him as a troll. I see him as a guy who posted something he put a lot of effort into and ended up having his work reposted without even being justly credited. He has every right to be upset and share his story, and people deserve to know this.
P.S. Just stop with the Tweets, it's embarrassing not only you, but the publication you represent.
Either the text should have been created independently, or it should have been made clear that it was a direct quote (fair use) from Gross.
You should have learned why this was wrong in high school.
Obviously you could have done more: reference him right from the start, not only after he made a stink about you copy-pasting his material verbatim. Timing matters, earlier is more.
This is unless he's lying that you did it only after the fact. Care to explain this point? Edit: I see you already did elsewhere in this tread.
Wow, just wow. This just crossed the bullshit horizon.
