Dear Blue Jays,
I assure you that there was no plagiarism--having
taught ethics at a prep school for 20 years and
possessing a Divinity Degree from Emory Univ.
Of course, nowadays those bits of evidence are
hardly dispositive. Seriously, you ought to be
more careful about suggesting slurs--why don't you
get the article FIRST before asserting possible
plagiarism.
Honestly,
Richard Kirk
I didn't even notice your screen name of "kirkrg" and the name "Richard G. Kirk" on the byline of the story. I simply thought I was passing an observation to a third-party fellow FReeper about a published article. It wasn't meant to be a insult. My mind used to be like a steel trap!
Well, now that I've gotten the shoe polish out of my mouth and I'm speaking directly with the columnist, I clearly owe you my sincere apology.
I'll send you the article about which I speak by FReepmail and you'll get a laugh out of it. For all I know, you could have authored that one as well. Again, sorry.
