Well, if they don't reply, you certainly will.
The issue is actually quite wide reaching.. where some of the plagiarism is in the form of documents, where by rebranding and replacing names, one has to consider whether they understand what has been said. Referencing is one thing we all do, and indeed often use templates to do our work, we often cite sources, but we have hopefully read them, understood them, and then produce original work based upon it... after suitably acknowledging the sources. If this is what some students feel is hard work (ie copy - paste) then gawd help us!
Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
