<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2555009, member: 36230&quot;]Show a little class for once, will you? What this all boils down to is you bellyaching and crying over being called out for copying and presenting someone else&#039;s work as your own. Now, I&#039;m sorry, but since you wish to drag this out, you simply cannot be this much of an idiot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s review....</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<i>So unless steps were taken so little ole you can&#039;t so easily steal it, anything and everything open to copying is fair game and anyone who says otherwise, including the owner of this very site, is an idiot</i>?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you not see the question mark at the end, or is reading comprehension a foreign concept? It is beyond your abilities to quote as posted without carving out whatever part you feel validates your whine? And let&#039;s be honest here; you did essentially steal words that were not your own, refused to give due credit, and now would prefer to make lame excuses instead of simply admitting a mistake. Oh, and I&#039;d be more than happy to say the same to your face, tough guy. Don&#039;t flatter yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your &quot;fair use&quot; crutch, it doesn&#039;t seem to apply in this case. Were you commenting on, criticizing, parodying, what you copied, or maybe it was for research purposes, or perhaps it was newsworthy? I suppose you could pretend you were teaching, but something tells me presenting another&#039;s work as your own on a discussion forum doesn&#039;t cut it. Was it in any way transformative? Not from what I see. Of course you could show whatever proof you feel justifies your position and actions, but I won&#039;t hold my breath. </p><p><br /></p><p>And please do as promised and crawl into your shell; it would probably be the best for everyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
