Do you really think that's what I did? How would I even paraphrase your post when I know the consequences of plagiarism?

I simply commented on the post based on the lesson I learned from reading the post. At the end of my comment, I seeked your permission to use your line (ending statement); or maybe I should have added a quotation mark to it.

I am utterly surprised at your response and reaction to my comment.

May it be stated clearly here that I didn't paraphrase your post. If it looks that way to you, then that's regrettable and I apologize.
