Do you always cut and past other people’s work without giving them credit for the quotes?

Your reply to my #30:
Do you always cut and past other people’s work without giving them credit for the quotes?
The quote in #30 is in reply to your #24, which is itself a reply to my #22. The quotation in #30 is directly from the blockquote
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
. . . which is referenced, with link as above, in my #22.

I’m at a bit of a loss as to what your beef exactly is. Can you elucidate?
