I got accused of plagiarizing myself on social media yesterday

I have this saying...I say it a lot...it was sort of along the lines of "Don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining" but it's "People who claim the moral high ground shouldn't do it while they're standing on a heap of bullshit".

Yesterday, in the throes of FB debating, a rightie, the uncle from the 'other side' of my nephew...my sister's son, his brother's son, but they aren't involved with him (Special needs, so it's even worse than you think, so uncle Metal Head doesn't get much slack because he is a phantom to our common nephew) I tell him that aforementioned phrase. It was about HRC's emails. I mentioned Valerie Plame, because who tf do they think they are??

He posts the definition of plagiarism.

Then he posts a link of me posting the phrase HERE a few years back.

Oh, the fun I had.

He blocked me. LOL. It's like the trash took itself out
