Because the MPC Gala and the Commonwealth Games are just around the corner, Madam Mao had to somehow chime in, with a seemingly personal and heartfelt message to her Mommie fans.
I will post only the text and the reference of the post. I am not giving her more air than necessary:
How wise. How compassionate. How deep.
If only that was personal. Because this is what is implied when someone says things like - 'a little thought that's been sitting with me'. Isn't it?
Alas, it is not. The core message of this post comes from two different sources she combined, adding her two-pence animal behavior observations.

Plagiarism has many faces. It can be a straight copy/paste or a more or less refined adaptation of an idea. Acknowledging someone else's work as inspiration or using the appropriate quoting brackets hasn't killed anyone - oh, well, perhaps a misplaced ego, such as Madam Mao's. It is the basic, courteous and urbane thing to do. Always and irrespective of anything else.
Does she think we are such imbeciles, unable to tell? Or is this second nature to her?
Pádraig Ó Tuama, the mysterious P.O. Tuama identified by the Canadian Facebook page, is a well known Irish poet - who incidentally hails from Cork -, a theologian, a gay activist, a conflict mediator and a Yale Divinity School faculty member. He deserved to be acknowledged both by Madam Mao and the other influencer I posted above. An influencer who failed to do so, but ended up being plagiarized by our Horse Whisperer Extraordinaire - karma being, as often, a retributive bitch.
There is no way in hell this woman would have ever been, even remotely, involved into anything related to research, at an academic level.
