In The Age of Information, Ignorance Is A Choice !

No further comments from me, the quote speaks for itself !! *

 
 
* A reader to this blog post brought to  my attention that the author of the above quote is Mr.
   Donny Miller .It should be clearly mentioned that I was simply sharing the above picture ( because I  loved it so much ) and had  no intention whatsoever ,to imply that the quote is mine ! The name of the author of the quote was not included in the picture and was not known to me at the time I shared it on this post.
 
The reader accused me of being a "thief "  and of  "plagiarism" , however, regular readers of my posts know  that I always reference the quotes I use to their authors ! Despite the fact that the above post does not in any shape or form imply directly or indirectly ,explicitly or implicitly that the quote is mine ( how would it be mine when I say: no further comments from me and it comes in a form of a picture that is flooding the internet  !!)  ,the reader insists that I have stolen the quote for my own use.
 I am just wondering if this self appointed  "author right's defender" is exposing himself to a libel case ! This is something I am discussing with my legal advisor .

When you read this post, did you get the impression that  I am implying that the quote is mine ? Please provide your feedback.

 
Let me very clear on this issue, I do not approve of any plagiarism ,and it is in my own interest that I defend author rights ,because I publish many articles and blogs and would not appreciate any one "stealing " it !
