    Has this question been copied from Reddit???

    No, that’s weird.

    The most reasonable thing to do is to cite the original publication and its author.

      In MLA format, no less.

      (I’m sure there are better ways, but I’ve never used anything else extensively.)

    To quote JackGreenEarth, from earlier in this thread,

    No.

    Dude I own this NFT. Do you really think you can get away with theft when you’re showing what you stole directly to my face. My lawyers will make an easy job of this case. Prepare to say goodbye to your luscious life and start preparing for the streets. I will ruin you.

    Dr. Satan! WHAT are you implying!! Actually no I'd never do that anyway because I have so many of my own opinions, it isn't hard for me to dish out something from my endless supply of unasked-for commentary.

    No, that’s plagiarism.

      You mean where two guys fight with their fists?

    No, Dr_Satan. I never do that.

    But now I will, starting with YOUR post!

    Only if I think I have much to benefit by doing so, i.e. if I have a problem and someone asks how to solve that problem more succinctly than I could.

      For the record, that is much more helpful than just posting a link to the original comment. There’s nothing worse than finding your exact question, the answer is just a link to a now dead site and the only comment afterwards is “exactly what I needed, thanks”.

      That’s worse than the Denver Coder situation.
