Copying code without permission
And by that I mean this and this. Now I'm not angry or raging, I'm just very, very disappointed in you. Whatever respect I have left for you is dwindling to single digits. I must admit that I may be acting unreasonable since it's only code but I am what you call a person protective of their creations, hence why I'm messaging you now. I would've appreciated it if you had simply asked to borrow the code instead of blatantly copying it without my permission.

So please, next time you want to use someone's code, do ask for their permission instead of going straight to copying and pasting. They spent a lot of time trying to understand how to code and to perfect the coding they made and it's very insulting for them to see someone just grab their hard work without even asking for permission.

I understand that the table is just simple code but what if it was a more complex code? Something that someone spent a lot of time and effort in making. Something that they are really proud of? Would you just go ahead and grab it for yourself without even asking the original creator for permission? That would be very shameless of you.

I'm sorry if I seem harsh but I needed to remind you and make you understand before you make an even bigger mistake. I do hope you'll keep this in mind next time.

To anyone else reading this, please do tell me if I said something wrong or if I'm mistaken.

Code is like a character — just in computer language.
It has come to my awareness that you copied my profile template code without asking for permission. While the code wasn't created from scratch, it still wasn't easy to compile and make sure it didn't look like a bloody mess with my coding skills. Even if it isn't entirely mine (and thus the credits at the bottom), that does not make it available for just anyone to grab and copy paste everything. As I've stated in the header, you can compare code to a character. In a way, this is not too unlike a situation where you take a character of mine and plagiarize it.

I have also been made aware that you have done this before and nearly weren't caught. Do you know how hard it is to create decent code, from scratch or not? I assume you do, as you appear to feel the need to continuously copy, or may I say, steal code from others instead of creating your own. Want to know how long it took for me and my ridiculously limited coding skills to compile/create that template of mine? Roughly around 50 hours without the intervals... and you just went and took it without batting an eye. If you've never been on the receiving end of getting your precious time (that you're never going to get back) and hard work treated like they were of no matter, I would like to apprise you for the first time that it makes you feel like utter sh*t.

Concurring with what Catty has said already, my respect for you is nearing a subatomic state. I'm not going to lie — I'm very upset, but not disappointed. You once complained, I believe, about how you were doing your utmost best not to repeat your mistakes and how people consistently reminding you of said mistakes did not help at all. With this little show of cribbing belying that complaint, as a user and not as a rollback, I'm less inclined to take heed of it.

As a personal favor, please save any excuses of external forces (i.e. school, etc.) interfering with your decision-making skills even if they did interfere. From a subjective point of view, it won't help. You're free to do it if you wish (I'm not stopping you), but it won't help. I'm asking it as a favor because it might help me uncloud my judgment.

Have a good day.
