[This is why I need to do vanity searches more often.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=267174) I am Kleebner on the SA boards and I cross-post often. In fact I think that the thread was made more to make fun of me for cross-posting so much than to actually accuse me of plagiarism. [Heck, the one time I did copy a thread, I said that I did so in the OP.](http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1134504&highlight=) The last link that was posted by **Trigonal Planar** was not so much the copying of a thread, but just some links. I don’t think that spreading links to neat stuff qualifies as plagiarism. Ever since I was [last accused of plagiarism](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=180219), which I still insist that I was misunderstood and the accusation was wrong, I have been very sensitive to any possibility of such suspicions. I hate to post stupid forum drama threads like this, but since the last thread was closed, I have no choice. ---

No worries, mate. (I always wanted to say that. ;)) I remember the thread (accusing you of plagarism) when it first popped up, and I think by the end of it I was pretty convinced that you were not a plagarist. But, I don’t blame you for making a statement such as this and clearing the air for good. ---

Oh, please, **CanvasShoes**. It’s quite obvious to me, and to most here, that this guy is a plagiarist of the highest degree. Who is he trying to fool? Not only does his claim require us to believe that he’s Frank Herbert, but also that that esteemed science-fiction author has returned from the grave to post to the Something Awful forums. More ridiculous a story I have never heard. Seriously, **MD** , the name has GOT to go. Of course, I didn’t read the thread in question, so it’s entirely possible that I may have missed something. 😉 All kidding aside, don’t worry about it, **Muad’Dib**. You came out of that thread looking just fine, and nobody with any common sense whatsoever would call you a plagiarist for copying something you wrote in the first place. Hell, I wrote every single thing I’ve ever written, so if anyone’s gonna get in trouble for that, it should be me. ---

Also, **yosemite** , I have no earthly notion why I wrote **CS** ’s name while thinking of yours. Must be some kinda Freudian thing. Maybe it’s because I see you both in a lot of the threads I post in, and you’re both female…I think…and, um, you both have eight or more letters in your usernames. Or maybe I’m just an idiot. :smack: ---

> [@yosemite](#): > > No worries, mate. (I always wanted to say that. ;)) I hope that was written with an appropriately Australian accent. I’ve gotten my American SO into the habit of using some of my Australian colloquialisms. In return, i sometimes say “zee” instead of “zed.” I still refuse, however, to say “erb.” ---

This has been in the back of my mind for some time. I’m 99% certain of the answer, but asking you could put it to rest — possibly for someone else as well. Are you the same Muad’Dib who is a moderator at Stormfront? ---

It is a message board maintained and frequented by white separatists. I’m a bit surprised you didn’t know that since some of their members fairly often, and rather famously, visit and post here. Especially in Great Debates. ---

_Stormfront_ is also the title for the Season IV premier of _Star Trek: Enterprise_. If I weren’t a Daily Doper, and a multi forum reader at that, I might miss the periodic SF invasions, too. Or, **Maud’Dib** could be using a feint within a feint. :eek: Fear is the mind killer… ---

What do you mean exactly? Is that a threat? A warning? An insinuation? Are you going to drink my blood? ---

> [@Profane](#): > > Why’d you get rid of your lovely red title? 😛 I actually never had one. The guy did not know how to code it right, so it was small and black. Like his soul. I had forgotten about Stormfront. Geez, hasn’t it been years since there was a big influx of trolls from there? ---

No, it hasn’t.
