Plagiarizing someone else’s writings
This doesn’t surprise me at all. People plagiarizing someone Else’s writing. I have had two comments lately that claim they have read my post somewhere else first. On one hand, I’m somewhat flattered. On the other hand, this really pisses me off. Personally, I would think that most people would take some pride in writing something original. An experience that only they could have interpreted in the way they have and written about that experience in only the way they could. Don’t these people have their own experiences to write about? Can they not articulate their own thoughts? This shows a weakness in character and intelligence. If someone uses my post as a guideline to help them in their writings, then fine, but stealing my post verbatim, and claiming it to be theirs, that’s just downright chicken shit. I realize this isn’t corporate espionage, but it hits home just the same.
This I will say with all “honesty”. If you read something here, then it came from me. If you read something here that you read somewhere else, then that came from me as well. Just look at the dates of both post and don’t comment saying that you read that post somewhere else first. You may have read it somewhere else first, but that doesn’t mean that they wrote it first. To those that plagiarize, try as you may, you will never be the person you plagiarize. Sooner or later, you will be discovered as the fraud you are. How embarrassing!
