Daniel Kammen, a renewable energy expert appointed last year as a science envoy to the State Department, resigned Wednesday, citing President Trump's response to the violence in Charlottesville as the final straw that led to his departure.
Kind of makes you wonder, you know, what kind of President could provoke a science envoy to the State department to resign. But not far to look! As Kammen goes on:
In a resignation letter posted to Twitter, Kammen wrote that Trump's remarks about the racial violence in Virginia had attacked "core values of the United States" and that it would have "domestic and international ramifications."
Even American scientists have ethics, and will not serve violent racist regimes, like Nazi Germany. So there is that.

That is so much hogwash, and you know it. I posted someone's post, and provided a link to the original post. It's not my work. I do enjoy shocking the pantywaists around here, but I can't claim credit for Yggdrasil's writings. Hell, in other discussions on this site, I've explained that I didn't have any intertubes in 1995, so how the hell could I be responsible for posts made to any newsgroup in 1995?
Never assume, you know it only makes as ass of u - but not me.

Without assumptions, our models of the universe become useless navel-gazing. Assuming that a first-person journal entry is the work of the person posting it is totally reasonable. Include attribution at the top, or wrap it in a block quote, if you don't want journal entries to be attributed to you. Also, I don't read everything you've written, and what I have read is probably mostly forgotten.

And with assumptions, they become extremely useful lower colon-gazing.

Flat out plagiarism, no indication of original source at the outset. Bad, bad Runaway. And that is even before the Nazism.
