I didn't have as much trouble getting pre-teens in my school to understand what plagiarism was as we are having getting you -- supposedly an adult -- to understand it. And as a teacher and then principal, I mean that literally.

I thought I would try to explain it one more time, but clearly it's a hopeless case.

No. That's not true at all.

Unless you can prove that Harry didn't see Bigfoot at midnight on February 4...doesn't mean that Harry saw Bigfoot.

Thank you for your service.
Honestly, there are posters on the site that frustrate me, but those frustrations are based on different viewpoints. I am beyond frustration with a poster such as the one we're talking about.

The gospels are a highly questionable historical record of the life of jesus, based on a level of verification that would not be accepted in someone writing a book in our time.

I bet his hero inhabits choice digs in Washington.
