It's the smallest of small things in the grand scheme of things and I guess it comes across a little "smartass-y" (especially the tongue-in-cheek reference to r/karmacourt) now that I read it again, so I'm not going to worry about it.

Thank you for being level-headed and I'm glad you seem to understand that I'm attempting (in my own way) to be a mediator in this situation.

I really don't have much of a problem with people copy-pasting info from another site onto Reddit so long as they don't fully pretend they are the ones who came up with it; to be clear, I don't think your reply comes across as a "I made this" situation.

It's just that adding a vertical line or "greater than" symbol would have made it clear that it was a direct quote... or even changing that period before the quote into a colon would have made it absolutely clear that you were copying the text wholesale.

I'm confused as to why merely bringing this up has gotten me downvoted, but then I remembered: Reddit.
