Blog plagiarism!!!
While my entrance into the blogging community is fairly recent, I have picked up on a something that in my opinion reflects poor blog etiquette. If Singapore has taught me anything, it is to take everything in life very seriously... this includes blogs!!! Given that blogging is becoming a more important part of my life I feel as though I have a responsibility within the blogging community to initiate standards of best blog practice!
One of the things that has really bothered me is the fact that blog plagiarism is becoming rife! From my understanding, the value of blogs is to provide a means by which people can express their views about life. It really starts to bother me when I see fellow bloggers stealing ideas from the creators and passing them off as their own. At first I thought it was pretty funny to see the measures some people go to just to ‘get hits’, but when it finally happened to me I thought it was time to put my foot down!
C’mon bloggers, lets band together to put a STOP to blog plagiarism!

Alfy I know you can't read good and wanna learn to do other stuff good too... but plagarism is when you present something else's work as your own (as I just did). I had clearly pointed that the quote came from Mish's blog you roo leather shoe wearing POS!
Anyway, even though you are jealous I get more hits than you, you are big enough to put that aside and still strive to encourage blog integrity. I respect you even more now. Thanks for teaching us a lesson on doing the right thing... I haven't had a lesson like that since the last time I watched He-Man cartoons. You are a scholar and a gentleman... I wish I could be like you.

Tosser, I hadn't read Mishie's blog before I posted - did you ever stop to think that there is so little happening back here in Ausl that the most exciting thing happening in anyone's life at the moment is lamb...
I hope you choke on your big burger.
How about pointing the finger at all these bloggers posting personality quizzes, the latest offence being what city they are... And now that you have made your bed, I do expect you to lie in it - As the self-appointed blog-watch, everytime the same topic pops up in blogs within six degrees I am expecting commentary from you to draw this terrible attack on our morals into the open. Alfygate.
Skeletor rocked and Beast-man was a pussy. Evil-Lyn was so much hotter than She-ra ever was. By the power of GreySkull.
