OP, what do you have to say about the above?  I snipped out the quotes for sake of space.  And yeah, I gave you the benefit of the doubt before, but that doesn't mean I can't change my mind if more evidence is presented.  Also, the truth is that you wouldn't have ever added sources to your previous posts had LoyceV not warned you, which was freakin' generous on his part.

I also don't agree that people need to be warned about plagiarism.  For one thing, that means every jackass who has an inclination to pass off someone else's work as their own would feel free to do so in the hopes that they wouldn't get caught--and knowing that the penalty for a first offense would just be a warning.  I tend to agree that a permaban is harsh punishment, and I'd be all for something like a signature ban or something similar, but that's not up to me.
