"I had accused someone of plagiarism ... these are simple matters, not criminal."

The AP covered the testimony of Raphael Golb in the Dead Sea Scrolls sock puppeting case.

Included was the text: "I used methods of satire, irony, parody and any other form of verbal rhetoric that became the type of language used by philosophers during the Enlightenment to expose the irrational arguments of their opponents."

AND

"I asked myself whether there was some law I had violated, and I rapidly decided no. I had accused someone of plagiarism ... these are simple matters, not criminal."
