Did I ever say it was my work? I thought it was so obvious that I had cut and pasted that I didn't need to point it out. The link was supposed to be on there but I guess it got left off the end. Yall can nitpick all you want, but the point still stands.
Uh-huh...
You did not use quotation marks. You did not include an attribution to the original author at any point in the body of the text. You did not even deign to post said text in an italicized form. In short, you did not indicate in any way, shape, manner, or form that the "work" posted was anything other than your own.
The reader was thus left with this impression (and you well know it) upon perusing the post: "balch3" was the author. And that, as has been shown, is false.
Who're you trying to kid?

Here you trot out one of the age-old excuses of the caught-red-handed plagiarist: the readers should've known!
Peddle it elsewhere, and to someone who cares; that lame excuse doesn't wash. But then, little else you've posted regarding the matter does, either, so at least you're consistent...

Uh-huh. I'd say it did. Nice of you to notice that and post a second reply to your original post that cleared the whole matter up right awa-...oh, wait; never mind.
I don't believe you.
And neither, I suspect, does any other sensible person perusing this thread. Your credibility, heretofore hovering at Zero, has now started to sink down into the negative integers....

It most certainly does not: the plagiarized "point" you were attempting to peddle (and as your own, no less!) has been refuted in its entirety, and in detail.
Not only have you, Sir, been proved to be a base plagiarist, but the very facts you "borrowed" (to be generous) have been shown to be a tissue of smarmy historical distortions commingled with a scummy elixir of outright lies.
What say you? ...*snicker*...
(P.S. - see my tagline.)
Uh, yes.
If you look at the bottom of "your" screed, you will see "by balch3". If you had forgotten or noticed the attribution didn't show, you would have posted a correction immediately.
Yall can nitpick all you want, but the point still stands.
Which "point" is that? That FAS doesn't affect women who drink a few glasses of wine during pregnancy? That fermentation of grapes begins immediately after extracting the juice? How about all the other points?
You've defended nothing in your cut-and-paste job.
