Brutally Honest Show<\/a> to give his insight on Florian’s incident.<\/p>\n\u201cSo on the K-Flow thing, yeah, you can\u2019t do plagiarism,\u201d stated Sonnen. \u201cPlagiarism is a little bit of a bad word compared to what it actually is. Plagiarism is where you take somebody else\u2019s words or quotes, or in this case writing, and you pass them off as your own. You can\u2019t do that. If you\u2019re in college, you\u2019ll get expelled, it\u2019s a very big deal. Kenny was the first to say, man I screwed up, I owe this guy a citation. If you simply cite the guy, you can do all of those things.”<\/p>\n
“You can walk a line of what\u2019s plagiarism and what\u2019s not. If you put quotations up it\u2019s ok to do. If you don\u2019t put the quotations up it\u2019s this terrible thing to do. So Kenny\u2019s in the wrong, he\u2019s definitely in the wrong. I\u2019m just saying let\u2019s keep it in the lines here, he didn\u2019t do a murder ok. He wrote something down and didn\u2019t put the quotes, he got suspended, he got embarrassed, as far as I\u2019m concerned we\u2019re square. I don\u2019t think you have to throw the guy off the desk completely,\u201d Sonnen said.<\/p>\n
Chael added, \u201cHe\u2019s not a writer, why he chose to write in the first place, I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s not what he does and he didn’t follow the code\u201d<\/p>\n
Sonnen ended on the situation saying, \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s the world’s biggest deal. I really don’t. I think his embarrassment alone man, I think we’re square.\u201d<\/p>\n
