Yikes ... you're sounding sort of combative ... Im not looking for a fight with you
Oh, I apologize if that's the way I came off sounding.
No, I'm definitely not combative or looking for a fight with anyone; but I do admit to getting annoyed with those LJers who stole work done by others and submitted to one of LJ's contests as their own work, all for the sake of possibly winning a few LJ tokens...
I'm basically like you regarding rules, I figure just let things lie until and unless something forces a change. But plagiarizing someone else's work just pushes a major button with me.
Back in my college days when a no-talent professor of a creative writing class I was in implied that I had plagiarized either my class assignments, or my term paper, I brought years of my writings to the Dean of the department and registered a complaint. If the bitch professor didn't like my termpaper, then give me an F, but don't dare accuse me of plagiarizing!
