I read your post and believed, sincerely, that you were posting it as your original work, hence my objection. You've been around here long enough to know that it is common practice to always cite sources when using other people's words.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, and I most definitely was not calling you an idiot. There are people in this community who I think are idiots, but you are not one of them. How can you be, you love the Cubbies! I'm a gigantic baseball fan and respect anyone who also enjoys America's pastime with the exception, of course of Bosox fans, for they are evil, evil people.
You know, when I think of the Bosox I also think of President Reagan's most famous words:
"Tear down that wall!"
:rofl
Well I appreciate your understanding, as well as your apology, and in retrospect, I should have used quotes, it was late, and I was not really thinking when I posted that. I put it up there to examine what we can do better, and to remind us Reps. what are mission statement is. I guess I am extremely sensitive when it comes to plagiarism, as I have been accused before, once in college, only to be vindicated later. Still, something like that seems to stick to you, and I don't want to put in jeopardy, my integrity, respect, or standing in the community. I actually take pride in the way I write and interact on this forum. I usually try to make my point with simple, straight forward talk, as to not bore the readers. I would never take the time to put together a lengthy post such as that, but sometimes I assume folks know me by now.
Oh well, enough about that, I have actually had a change of heart on this matter. I now believe that planting these stories will probably do more harm then good, and I hope we cease to operate like this in the future.
Co Cubs.
