This posting involved criticism, modification, and shortening of a spiritual gift test under Fair Use, with clear attribution given to the author. In case readers did not agree with our changes, a plug advertisement and link were provided to the Zondervan version of the original source material, which we still recommend as an alternative.In Jan 2008, Mary Whitus of Emeth Press accused us of "A case of plagiarism" [subject of her email]; that "You do not apparently know the meaning of "fair us” [sic];” that she now owns the rights, and that "not even the author can give you this permission."
Rather than fight, which we considered just to keep Mary occupied from bullying others, we decided to pull the posting and post this explanation.
