Too strong an indictment?

I left the following note as a private review to the fics in question this week (specifically Visionary):

Something you may want to be aware of:

The term "Tarithna" didn't come from the Buffy or Stargate canon, but from another author's fanfic; it would be good form to acknowledge this fact up front. Taking from another author without giving credit is a very bad habit to get into; in academic circles, and in professional life, it is considered a severe indictment of one's moral character, and has even destroyed careers.

Just a friendly heads-up; authors generally don't like it when they find out that someone else is taking credit for their work.

It's got my name attached to it; I won't say more, or take further action. Unless, of course, I get flamed for it, in which case all bets are off.

could somebody shoot me?

Gaah. Things not going well.

Went to lie down for a few minutes last night, which turned into two hours asleep before waking up. That led to an inability to even consider going to sleep until 2 in the morning, and then to tossing and turning until 5 - it's not a good sign when you're trying to fall asleep and you're hearing songbirds warming up. Don't remember having that experience since the last time I pulled a near-all-nighter in law school.

Then at eight-thirty, the telephone. Then a screaming argument between family member and someone who was supposed to come by and refinish floor by kitchen, and apparently swung by, took one look, and ditched the appointment while family member was in the shower.

Awake now, and wishing I was asleep. Foul emotional atmosphere permeates the house, and knowledge that this time it's nothing to do with me doesn't help in the slightest.

Also feeling sick to stomach, for no identifiable reason. Hopefully it wasn't something I ate.
