More falsehoods from you. 

Please post of when and where I started deliberately infringing your 
copyrights.

Also, as Tweeter has pointed out in his reposts of your work, you 
gave your permission to play with your Steins in this public 
posting of yours which followed _after_ your complaints and "credit 
munging" activities:

Just modifying an original does NOT give you a copyright.
The copyrights of the 'steins remain with me, Pete Casso.

Generally speaking, I have no objections people playing with the 
'steins, on the contrary I welcome that, because it helps 
propagating the 'steins. But specifically speaking, I can't tolerate 
the recent excesses coupled with audacity in denying any copyrights.
