Here's my take on the whole situation.

Plagiarize:  To pass off as one's own the ideas or words of another.

	In my opinion, Seratia's actions do not meet the legal definition of the
word.

Slander: 1, A false report maliciously uttered and tending to injure the
reputation of a person.  2, To utter slander against.

	In my opinion, Lurker's actions do meet the legal definition of the word
and I recommend that Seratia press Lurker to issue a public and formal
apology on the FFML retracting his previous statement against Seratia. 
If Lurker does not comply, then I recommend that Seratia commence legal
action against Lurker.  Lurker's actions were, in my opinion, both false
and injurious against Seratia and she deserves compensation for damages.
