i think in cases where you are using a 'blip' or a known quote of an author, just giving credit to the author is fine or even stating that you are paraphrasing what the specific author had said or expressed, or deduced is ok...., but if you 'cut' and pasted this quote, then a link to that 'cut' should be posted.

Well, if I remember something from a book and use it I'm certainly not going to search on the internet for a link to it. That's just crazy.
Let's say me and Radio (since he is in the thread) are discussing baseball and he tell me about a story he once read about Babe Ruth, is he required to find a link to said story? Of course not.
Don't be stupid and argumentative. This really isn't a hard concept to understand. You know precisely what types of posts I'm referring to.
Or, you would if you actually took part in discussions other than those filled with whining about being picked on.
No one is being stupid nor argumentative, as I pointed out earlier, some time back I DID received an infraction for for posting something I read in a book without sourcing it. IMO that wasn't a copyright infraction and frankly Gunny must have agreed because because he reversed the infraction. But that is neither here nor there, I just thought I would mention it in case others have been told the same thing in the past or other moderators might think that something like that IS an infraction. It is not. Your claims that no one has ever been "gotten onto" by a moderator are not valid.
