@username4x26@MikeWingerii@gtfinchy Did you miss the part where he was emailing one of the people that he plagiarized to set up a time to get on FaceTime to put in his video and where he brushed it all off in the video, and then deleted it in his entire channel? He could have skipped all of that and just apologized
It's such a tragic situation. Initially, I expressed support for Wes in the comments section of his response video. I now regret that and realize that I rushed to support him rather than do my due diligence. Wes is truly one of the most brilliant minds and gifted communicators for the gospel in our time. He didn't need to plagiarize. So heartbreaking on so many levels. Kudos to Mike for doing the hard (but loving) thing here.
@staleyexpress@autocorrect2_0@MikeWingerii It's not a lie? No, it's called stealing. Taking someone else's work as your own putting your name on it, profiting off of it, that is a sin.
@staleyexpress@autocorrect2_0@MikeWingerii Everyone is doing exactly what they are saying not to do to Wes. All I was saying is that you need to wait until you see all the evidence and then he needs to take accountability, don't do it again, and then that will be the end of the story. Not much to expect of someone.
@xmikemac@NoMoreDismay@WesleyLHuff@MikeWingerii If that was all it was then he would have addressed it and we would be moving on from this. However it's not just that one incident. If you don't care to go find all of the places that he has done this that's not my problem! Stay ignorant on purpose.
@xen_studio@autocorrect2_0@MikeWingerii As you sit here and judge me.... Your argument is completely flawed and you're talking out of both sides of your mouth! You haven't shown me any of that and I'm just as much of a neighbor as Wes is!
@xen_studio@autocorrect2_0@MikeWingerii You make an awful lot of assumptions! You know what they say about that. I'm sure Wes will be able to carry on with his ministry! All the majority of us expect him to do is to explain himself honestly and repent and do better in the future! The same as is expected of anyone.
@xen_studio@autocorrect2_0@MikeWingerii Yep, already read it. He's doing the same thing, excusing bad behavior in a response that is extremely lacking because it's someone he likes!
@xen_studio@autocorrect2_0@MikeWingerii Constructive criticism and feedback are not throwing stones! Why do you think he deleted his channel?!? So people would not go over and start cross referencing "his work". You shouldn't hold men on pedestals like they are infallible!
@xen_studio@autocorrect2_0@MikeWingerii Are you kidding me!?!? ๐๐คฃ๐คฃ He wasn't a child! There is plagiarism that has happened within the last year and others in the last few years! No one is canceling him! We are saying his reply was not ok! It's not a mistake to take someone's entire work and make it your own!
@BHUkno@xmikemac@1John3_18@WesleyLHuff@MikeWingerii Exactly! We should do everything unto the Lord, for His glory! It doesn't matter what arena this happened in, wrong is wrong! People saying something about it isn't throwing the entire person out, it's just asking for people to wait and asking for accountability from him!
@xmikemac@NoMoreDismay@WesleyLHuff@MikeWingerii He had the time to email one of the people he plagiarized, setup a FaceTime to record him saying, no worries, post it, and then realize more came out and deleted his entire channel. You lack discernment! You are literally excusing lying, cheating, and stealing! It's wrong period!
@xen_studio@autocorrect2_0@MikeWingerii Internet? That is the tip of the iceberg this is about University and his PhD, but most importantly his testimony of being a true honest witness of Jesus with integrity!
@xen_studio@cazmadazzle@autocorrect2_0@ehcold1@MikeWingerii Yes I stand behind that comment from what we know now! I have always loved West but when one of our own lies cheats and steals you don't stand behind that! Can he be redeemed, yes! However, the way he went about this was not ok! He doubled down and then deleted his channel!
@danidiaz@MikeWingerii Thanks for mansplaining, but I already knew what it meant! Wes spoke with Mike and multiple other friends, admitted to what he had done, and has now wiped his channel instead of actually stepping up and taking ownership of what he has done!
@MelonieMac@ComeHometoRome They want him to take actual accountability and repent for that! That video he took down was NOT it!!! You should expect more from people that represent the body of Christ! You should be thinking about what this does to God and the BOC, not Wes!
@TheUnseenRealmx@xmikemac Ok, now flip that! How could Wes spend all that time doing the same and not learn that you don't lie, cheat, and steal!?! You are excusing all of that! You don't jump to forgiveness when the person hasn't even repented!
