lol...  evidently you're not up to explicating.

Forgive me....  but which actions are those?  Perhaps *you* will be up to explicating.

Oh, but see ... she used the ** to stress that she wants you, personally, to point out to her what she's done, or it doesn't count. Once again giving off an air of superiority because the rest of us aren't 'worthy' of her attention, apparently.

quote:

Hmmm... using big, important-sounding words ... ignoring questions like "what does LAs education have to do with anything?" ... yeah, that seems like you think you're better than the rest of us - perhaps not quite "holier than thou", but I'm definitely sensing an air of superiority from you.

SweetDommes--

I speak as I speak.  I neither dumb down nor smart up (nor. more to the point, smart down nor dumb up).  And I have not, in the course of this, addressed myself to you specifically, let alone to everyone here (I have every reason to think you are likable and with it.  It's my default assumption.). 

On the contrary.  I trust you, and everyone else here, to understand "explicate" and many many other words, even if you are not yourself prone to using them.  (there are many that are common to other people-- scientists, political people, what you will--that I do not use myself.  But I am fine with hearing them used.)

LA touts her superior education all over the freaking boards (she knows what she's doing in the boardroom and the classroom alike!   wow!),  I mostly lurk here these days, but it's annoying enough for even the likes of me to be aware of and allude to.

You do neither yourself, nor her, nor the world at large, any favors by supporting such stuff uncritically, only because you find me annoying or out of place. 

Honestly?  I am arguing against my normal position on plagiarism here (i.e., it is always and everywhere *wrong*) and that solely because LA annoys me.  Woo hoo!  I am totally petty! 

I don't support her in feeling wronged, because I think she'd benefit from greater consciousness of her own limits, and her own ultimate silliness (we all have it). This may not have been the best possible occasion for this particular sally....  but I am subject to my own limits.

::shrug::  more tomorrow if necessary.  But to you, SweetDommes, I apologize if I have offended.

Personally, from what I know of LA, she's quite comfortable with herself and her own, innate silliness, as well as perfectly capable of admitting when she's made a mistake. I see no reason for you to take out a personal vendetta against her on a topic that you actually agree with her on. Who is having trouble with her own "ultimate silliness" now?
