| Plagiarist! |

I’m a plagiarist! I wasn’t aware of that fact, but my troll just told me so. I posted some statements I’d read on a poster at work in this post. It happens all the time. Someone sees something amusing and tells a friend about it, writes it down and sends it in a forward, just spread the humor around. When I do it though, I become a plagiarist. The fact that I said, “Hey, this is something amusing I saw,” and posted it makes me a plagiarist despite the fact that I didn’t claim it to be mine. Maybe I should go back and take down the author and publisher of the poster just so I can cite it or something. That would be so worth it to prove to one close minded little child that I did nothing wrong. I have nothing to prove. However, when someone takes a disliking to you, the simplest things become a crime. They really need to take a hike. I like leaving my journal open to anyone who wishes to comment, but they’re becoming quite obnoxious. Perhaps it’s time to start screening comments. Or maybe I should go forth into the world in order to find more bits of grammatical humor to blatantly steal and claim as my own!
