Plagiarism Accusations



This evening I was accused of plagiarising clever references from my friend, Major Ritchie's, blog: Q8BJZ4-I am an Army of One, in my previous post "Water, water everywhere. . . " In a post of the same name on Major Ritchie's blog, he had used a reference to The Rime of The Ancient Mariner. Being far more intelligent than I, he was referring to the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I, of course, do not think in terms of classic literature, or in this case poetry. I think the same way that I did when I was sixteen. My mindset and frame of reference is, of course, Iron Maiden. So, I was not actually plagiarizing Major Ritchie's reference to a poem. I was using a reference to a heavy metal song ABOUT a poem.

UP THE IRONS! Maiden RULES!
