SUBJECT: On the subject of plagiarism

Brigitte wrote:

"It is known she [Blavatsky] possessed his books, and that she quoted 
liberally - often without acknowledgment ..."

Jerry commented:

"This sounds like the old 'her ideas are stupid and just myth' 
together with 'and she plagarized her ideas from great people' 
business. Theosophists have heard this criticism for years."

Brigitte replied:

"Can you explain this more, she [Blavatsky] didn't plagiarize?"

Brigitte, can you please tell us HOW you determine when someone is 
plagaiarizing? And then if that is determined to be the case, WHAT 
does that tell us about the person who has been found guilty of such 
plagiarism?
