Dear Joe,
Why don't you ever cite when you snip from a website? You took most of every word you wrote above from
http://www.equip.org/free/CP0308.htm, without quote marks, or web citation or even acknowledging it was not your thoughts you were posting.
If you presented the material on your own in print or verbal presentation that would be an act of plagiarism.

pla·gia·riz·er noun
It took me 15 seconds to find the web citation for the material, it took me about five to copy and paste the website address into this note. People keep gigging you for quoting anti-Mormon sites constantly with never an acknowledgement or quote mark, and you keep doing it, why? If you're gonna cut and paste, you would be well-advised to acknowledge that the words are not your own, and it does not even take much time - just seconds to do so.
Regards,
Scott
