Hate my job? Hell naw I LOVE my job, but sometimes you just gotta vent....heh
Google it, this "song" has been around for a couple of years. Hope Rebecca isn't taking credit for it.
Uhh never said it was mine Jack. Google it all you want, do you see ME saying it was mine? Do you spend your entire day trolling on here pointing things out to people? I shared it, (keyword SHARE) for all the others to read. If it was mine I would have put it under the title.
Now why would you ASSUME I would take credit for this little item? You might wanna ask before automatically ASSUMING something. Relax a little brother, I like to lighten things up for people, whether or not it's mine or someone else's. If I could name the original writer I would, that's why I put "many thanks", to thank the person that wrote it. I don't take credit for things I don't do.
Understand?
Now that that's overwith, how is YOUR day going Jack?
Trolling? Yeah that must be it. Interestingly no where did you state you were just passing it along. To my eyes it had the appearance of someone passing off something that isn't theirs.

Why would I assume you were taking credit for it? Well, you didn't disclaim it so it is a least a sin of omission. Why would I care? I would hate to see someone taking claim for the work of another. Don't be shocked, it's happened in here before.

Um...no, putting 'many thanks' implies nothing at all, except that you're thanking many. Irrelevant. Also, a simple "I didn't write it" would have been sufficient. To take the time to scold me tells me you're being overly defensive. "Hate my job? Hell naw I LOVE my job, but sometimes you just gotta vent....heh" See, you make it look like you wrote it to vent. Once again, where was the attributed to anon or unknown? I'm just saying..
A "sin of omission" worthy of a Booby Prize. (Or should that go to the Large-Chested discussion?)

Rebecca: No real big deal, but you should know that a little attribution goes a long way.
Sure if I knew who wrote it I would put it on there. so what the hells the big deal here Jack? YOU seem overly defensive. I took the time to read some of your blog replies on things here, and you do seem to have a penchant for doing just that. I don't have an arguement or issue with you, so why are you ragging on me? I'm not gonna spend my days making sure every i or t is done just to make you happy. If you don't like what is written on my blog then don't read it, simple as that. I am not gonna quit posting things on my blog just because YOU think I should attribute everything correctly. As far as you thinking I am scolding you, what are you, 5 years old? All of us post on here and comment, and people here read them and go on. You putting that is automatically putting me on the defensive, and it seems YOU are the only one that is taking an offense. If you look at all of my blog posts I have NEVER taken credit for anything I didn't write.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHATS ON MY BLOG POSTS THEN DON'T READ IT, UNDERSTAND JACK?
Yeah I know and as I have told this guy, if I knew who wrote it I would put it. Saying "you just gotta vent", everyone understands that and I don't see how that means I wrote that. Why is this such a big damn deal? I think Jack does protest too much, and yes I know he'll throw that back in my face. I bet he's loved by everyone that knows him. I know I shouldn't say that because I don't know him, but he took the time to judge me without even knowing a damn thing about me.
