Honestly, I thought I put a link at the end and can't really explain how that skipped me. That thread was closed almost immediately it started and I never went back to it until when this issue came up, perhaps I would've observed I didn't put a link there if it were open and people were posting there. It's an honest slip. I never intended to plagiarize that write-up or anyone's work as I have given references to write-ups/comments I lift or put them in quotes. I even put out links to the two short articles I cited in threads I started before and after this thread in question was made. I wouldn't intentionally leave out referencing a lengthy article that was obviously not mine. It's a slip, frankly. There's nothing I stand to gain doing otherwise.
This is your self-defense that has become a common practice by other plagiarists.

Don't really understand why people ignored this issue before you and one other person were accepted into the bestchange campaign, but it's true that you made a huge mistake based on forum rules.
