I'm careful about what I say.

I didn't write it.

So you have said.

In future, you might go to greater pains to use quotation marks or some
convention so that people know what appears in your post was not authored
by you.

Which doesn't matter one fucking bit when some pinhead comes along and
*edits* what I wrote!

Those little ">" at the front said I quoted someone else. Just like those
">" symbols at the front of your words mean I didn't write them. Think!

It was in your post. Pehaps you cribbed it. Perhaps you quoted it.

The National Legal Foundation is a Christian public interest law firm
dedicated to the preservation of America's freedom and constitutional
rights. Since the organization was founded in 1985, we have been actively
involved in defending religious liberty throughout the courtrooms of the
United States. Our efforts, however, do not stop at the courtroom door.

Our goal is to make the American people aware of the law's personal
impact.
The erosion of our religious freedom is real. If our leaders and citizens
in
communities across America are not aware of the danger, they will be
ill-prepared to respond when their rights are violated. It is this lack of
readiness that the National Legal Foundation seeks to remedy.

To serve our clients better the NLF has established offices in Athens,
Georgia; Dallas, Texas; LaQuinta, Califonia; Memphis, Tennessee; Richmond,
Virginia; Valley Springs, California; and Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Please
send all pledges and requests for legal assistance to our National
Headquarters office in Virginia Beach , Virginia:

See those keys on your keyboard? They, along with cooperation with your
brain, allow you to edit all the text of your post. It's your post. Be
responsible for what you say. If it looks like I said it but I didn't say
it, I'm responsible to point that out so that people don't think I wrote
something I didn't.

I'm careful about what I say. Are you? Or do you wimp out of your
responsibilities?

Very often I change that when someone is quoting something. In the case
at issue, I did not change it. I failed to change it. Tough. Sue me.

I did quote it. That means I didn't write it. Putting my name at the

as

the person who wrote it is misleading.

It must be a liberal conspiracy, fella.

I didn't write it.

So you have said.

In future, you might go to greater pains to use quotation marks or some
convention so that people know what appears in your post was not

In the post in question, the only clue that you were not the "author"

a url at the end. You did not indicate it was a quote. There was not
adequate citation. Be careful, that is inviting charges of plagiarism.

The post is again below for anyone to check to see how well you provided
attribution. IMHO opinion, you did a *****-poor job.
