Apparently not!
BTW, I'm checking out my legal options.
I'm fully aware you couldn't get a reply with quote from it. You could have posted the whole point, instead of half the point. You could have added the link.
I did add the link. Go back and look. Stunnedbygrace even went to your post linked to with that hyperlink and compared the post I quoted with your original and noted that I changed nothing of what was quoted.
Sooooo, must those who wish to quote what you write here at CC ask your permission to do so? Should that be a new, special rule here at CC that applies just to Depleted?
The vast majority of posts on every single thread here at CC (and most other forums) use the quote function, with occasional editing to address the points made and not necessarily the other poster's entire post.
After posting over
22,130 times here at CC, you know that. Heck, you've done that!
You could have not lied by omitting portions.
I quoted the portion of your post that I was addressing in my post. It is common practice by those who post here at CC.
You've done it.
I was disagreeing with your perception of God through your experiences. No one should have to go through the things you did. It's completely normal for us to want to understand why or to hope that there is some purpose for the things that happen in our lives - things that happen to US. There are things in my life that have happened where God expressly revealed through His Word that what was happening to me was NOT how He intended for things to be, but that because He would not cross the free will of others, He promised to walk through that season/circumstance and sustain me through it.
Never, not for one moment, did I think that God was choosing to not intervene on my behalf because He was trying to teach me something, or to try to bend or shape me in some way. No - He simply loved me and showed me in His Word His Character and Who He is AND who I as His daughter am in Him. And that's exactly what I needed to walk through that season. Much damage could have been done to me, and though not unscathed, God sustained me and healed the places that were wounded.
You could have caught a clue on how to attribute.
I did attribute the post to you, including a hyperlink to your post. The content of the quote was attributed to you, indented twice to differentiate it as your post, and in italics, as quoted posts are.
You could have caught a clue what plagiarism is.
Quoting with a hyperlink to the original post is not plagiarism.
You could have acted like a decent person and leave the thread dead, like it was specifically made. You could have not done it. You could have apologized.
If you rather that you hadn't posted what you did, I completely understand that. Your story is of a highly sensitive nature. Perhaps you could contact the mods and request that they remove that content.
But it's out there, and this is a discussion forum. You were making a serious statement using part of your life's story
about how you view God. This thread is a continuation of your thread, started by another poster (perhaps you should be mad at them?). Your perception of how you view God came up in this thread. Posters occasionally pull posts from other threads, so my doing so was not out of the norm. I believe that your view is a dysfunctional one, promulgated by a Calvinist influenced mindset. My intent was not to wound you by quoting your post, but to show where I disagree with your view and why. That happens on a discussion forum.
You could have done quite a few Christian things, but it never dawned on you because you're only point is "my god is better."
Lynn, you're obviously very upset about this, and offended. Should I apologize for disagreeing with you? Should my perception of God, based on what He's shown me over my lifetime through His Word and in the midst of circumstances I've been through be any less valid than yours?
I am not the source of your hurt - I quoted your post - with a hyperlink - something every person on this forum does on a regular basis - including YOU. Again, if the content of your post is something you'd rather not have out there, I totally get that. The remedy to that is not railing against me, falsely accusing and threatening me, it's in contacting the mods to see if they will remove that content.
God is God. He is Who He is. It's obvious that there are different perceptions of how He loves us, disciplines us, teaches us.
This is a discussion forum where such things are
discussed. You are quick to take offense if someone disagrees with your perception of God or your theological opinions. Not only are you quick to take offense, but then you go on the attack, attempting to discredit and assassinate the character of those who disagree with you.
Now you've upped the ante to threatening me.
Then those who are your targets have to decide whether to let what you say just hang out there, or defend ourselves, correcting the record.
The result is messy threads where the topic that was being discussed gets lost in the messiness. And you are the impetus for many of the times that happens.
If you are confident that what you believe is true, then just put it out there and let the reader decide.
What does this mean? It means I'm seeking legal options. I don't know if I will sue. I'm still learning the options. But, yes, you specifically. Go check that law to see how that one happens. Because you also brought CC in on this one. All because you want to prove your god is better.
You will find you have no case. You post here with the expectation/understanding that you will be quoted. One does not post over 22,000 times like you have and not know that. We all know that.
Neither CC nor I took your post and published it on an outside source or has sought any monetary gain from your composition. A hyperlink was posted at the beginning of your quote, and I stated that Depleted wrote the following preceding the hyperlink and the quote. The text was indented twice and appeared in italics as quotes do to separate it from the text of my post.
No case.
That quote is from William Shakespeare, btw. Don't need him getting mad at me, too
