Acknowledgements would be nice

Excuse me but I recognize that some of the words -- whole paragraphs of them, in fact -- are actually mine. Why don't you acknowledge/cite/reference where you got whole reams of your above post from? (Or don't you realize that it'd be but the courteous thing to do?!) :

sorry, that was completely my fault. usually when i watch a movie i really like, i google it for reviews and other information, and then i try to gather my thoughts by responding to/adding on to/disagreeing with what other people say, sometimes copying/pasting it directly for convenience and for reference's sake. usually i do link the original source, but from what i've seen people don't read what i write, and i know which bits aren't mine so that if i ever wanted to look for the original source i could just google that bit of text. this time i just got lazy.
i sincerely wasn't trying to plagiarize or claim your work as mine; i just didn't expect anyone but me to read this and i didn't expect anyone to care. i completely understand why you'd be angry so i've italicized the text that isn't mine and credited at the bottom.
i hope you realize i didn't do this intentionally; thanks for reminding me to cite and apologies for my lack of courtesy

Thank you for your courteous response

Thank you too for rectifying the situation. Apologies for flying off the deep end previously but have had too many experiences of other people "scraping" friends' and my work to have become rather touchy about such.

On a cheerier note: Don't assume that no one besides you will read things you've posted on the internet. And that they won't get something out of doing so. :)
