(48,181 posts)So what the flying fuck are you talking about? Plagiarism has nothing in particular to do with copyright law, other than they both involve misuse of the work of other people. One is an ethical issue, the other is a legal protection. Talking somebody else's work, no matter how trivial or marginalized that work is, and passing it off as your own is plagiarism. Why you continue to insist that what you did was not plagiarism escapes me, perhaps for some reason you have an inability to admit when you are wrong even when it is completely obvious?
A&A is open to anyone who hasn't abused that openness and been blocked. You, for example are not blocked from A&A so you could have discussed the original post you plagiarized in A&A. You chose not to do that.
