I'm not really sure how to start this, so I'll use some links to help: Example

Example I don't doubt there are several more. These cartoons have punch-lines derived or directly taken from comments posted on the weblog MetaFilter. I used them unthinkingly without attribution. Some of the users of MeFi rightfully became upset. I'm not a fan of making people angry (other than, say, extreme-[right|left]-wingers), so I'm posting this for full disclosure in an attempt to make it right. Since I offered no attribution or asked for permission, over the last couple of years I've infringed on the expression of ideas of some (who I think are) clever people. Plagiarized. My hypocrisy seems to know no bounds, as an infamous gunman was once heard saying. I sincerely apologize to my readers and to the original authors. I offer no excuses and accept full blame and responsibility. As a result, I'll be modifying the cartoons in question. No, it won't happen again. Yes, I've immersed myself in mild acid. This has a vague connection to the April Fools Joke of 1999 in feeling. Bad judgement, bad result.
