No you did not you fucking liar! And I fell for your trick thinking you had served in the military. Just be glad Nyarlathetop does not follow my rules because you would have already been banished. You know, the three strikes, toss you out on your ass thing.

This is how you properly quote something.

This Wikipedia page says, "The practice of communicating lies is called lying, and a person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar."

This Wikipedia page says, "Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work." And as above, the perpetrator may be ostracized as a liar.

And this: "In other contexts: On the Internet: Free online tools are becoming available to help identify plagiarism, and there are a range of approaches that attempt to limit online copying, such as disabling right clicking and placing warning banners regarding copyrights on web pages. Instances of plagiarism that involve copyright violation may be addressed by the rightful content owners sending a DMCA removal notice to the offending site-owner, or to the ISP that is hosting the offending site. The term "content scraping" has arisen to describe the copying and pasting of information from websites and blogs."

See? I raped someone else's intellectual content. However, I also properly attributed that raping by providing a link back to the original articles.

I am beginning to think I need to use those tools because I have been fooled twice by persons plagiarizing.

Occasionally, I do not provide a link, but do a parenthetical citation at the end. Additionally, if am using someone else's word but doing so from memory, then i will give the warning that I am paraphrasing, much like this.

Robert A Heinlein once said (paraphrase): "Men rarely, if ever, create Gods superior to themselves. Most often, the Gods have the manners of a spoiled brat."

You did no such thing. You raped the words and pawned them off as your own. That is so much like an Absolutist.

Furthermore:

I apologize i dont know how things work here

This is bullshit. When I first signed up as a member, I read somewhere saying plagiarism is not tolerated. I cannot find it now and do not feel like spending an hour searching for it. However, you just stated you do not give a shit about anybody else but yourself. Let this be a lesson to you to "read" the rules of every forum you sign up to. I did.
