In the matter of
Marcus
Respondent · hereinafter “the Occupant”
v.
Upon complaint of
Sarah
Complainant · a member of the household

You are hereby notified that the above-named Respondent has been found, upon evidence gathered over a period of considerable patience, to be in breach of the following provisions:

Provisions breached
  1. § 26.5a
    Appropriation of work. Presenting another’s output as though it were your own.
  2. § 26.5b
    The collective pronoun. Deploying ”we” in a manner obscuring who did which part.
  3. § 26.5c
    Selective attribution. Naming the contributor in the failures and not in the successes.

It is therefore ordered that the Respondent name the person who did it, in the room where it is being praised, effective immediately. You are advised that continued conduct of this nature will be escalated.

Compliance will be monitored. There is no appeals process, and there is no one to appeal to.
