This is literally just a copy + paste, I respect you crediting the real author or at least where you found it, but if everyone did this the forum would be shit imo.

I'm sure he's just sharing what he thinks is interesting. Which I think it is. Smile

Right, but surely there should be some OC in the POST, else what's stopping me from just uploading .pdf's of ebooks on c++ and just saying "yeah i didn't write these but here." like i feel Megan could do better as he isn't stupid.

Off topic, you could've PM'ed me that.

I'm a girl, I'm also Trans, if you disagree and say I'm "still a guy" your opinion is irrelevant as I'm a legally recognised woman by the law and medical science. If you wish to discuss this then please make a thread about it OR pm me. Don't post off topic.

That isn't an uncommon thing to do, the sharing of ebooks. This is an educational infographic that SL can benefit from. Still I appreciate the compliment.

Thank you.

Just to be clear I'm not trying to be a dick, i get told i sound hostile alot when it isn't the case, i was just curious as to where you were coming from with this. Smile

No you don't sound like a dick, you have a valid point, I believe it's only cool to copy and paste shit that's beneficial, I.e. actual information for education, I mean I could've literally wrote out that infographic myself and claimed it as mine right? Or I can just directly share useful content but either way I do see your point.

I'm not sure if this was a joke or mistake.

Either way it's disrespectful and you should learn how to communicate without sounding like an uneducated retard trying to be edgy.

Also personal questions like this should be asked via personal communication such as PM's.
