You clearly are in need of a good dictionary:
Quote:plagiarize
1 Take (the work or an idea of someone else) and pass it off as one’s own

Quoting someone and giving them credit for saying it is the antithesis of plagiarism.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln
"Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." - Proverbs 17:28
See the similarities?

I have a right at that point to prove that I'm in fact not lying. This is a DISCUSSION forum, If you want to assert I'm a liar, fine, but don't expect it to be left at that.
Now if you wanted me to drop it, all you had to sat was "hey I made a mistake when I stated huggy was a liar for claiming that his sig privileges were revoked......they were". Then I'll drop it, but as long as you maintain that I'm a liar, then I'll maintain providing evidence to show otherwise.

Pull(ing/ed) a Huggy: to be a demonstratively whiny twat when it comes to how forum rules are enforced in the middle of a thread. Example:
Randy, stop pulling a Huggy.
Yes, because taking issue with being falsely labeled a liar is being "a whiny twat"....
When a homosexual man having sex with an underage boy, was labeled a pedophile, certain atheist here took issue with that and was trying to clear him of that "slanderous" title (ask me for evidence, go ahead, I dare you).
But me taking issue with falsely being labeled a liar, is being "a whiny twat"? You guys are a Joke
