| | In more ways than one at that. I don't understand why one would do it, and I do not understand why it's a big deal. Unless you're a big time writer, hope to be, or are paid (either money of a significant amount of attention) to, then sure, I can see why you'd be upset.
Let's address the first part that I do understand and please, bear in mind that you may not agree with my logic, in the least bit. What's the purpose, or point in stealing someone else's words? Or, in some opinions, their "life" and claiming it as your own. Besides the fact that your life may be so boring and mundane that there is nothing to blog about, should you not question why you have a blog in the first place? Is it the fact that you need and or desire attention so badly, that you would go and steal another's post, just to, I don't know, if it's not to spite them then I suppose it would be to call some attention to yourself. However if this person isn't, popular, isn't famous, isn't a significant point person in Real Life, or Web Society, why do it? Perhaps it's another form of idolization, an annoying one, but they do say something like "imitation is the most sincere flattery." Right? I don't know, today isn't a quote day.
And how about you, the one getting upset. Why? Are you so special or clung to your words and life that it physically hurts to see it taken and stripped from you? Or are you more concerned about some person that takes these words and becomes "famous" with what you wrote instead of yourself? If that happened, would you ever think of becoming a Ghost Writer? Or how about a script writer for plays and movies? Surely the writers don't get famous and photographed in all the Tabloid magazines, the actors and actresses do, I have yet to see them complain. I do know about Ghost Writers for rappers that complain. I am straying from the topic, I simply don't understand. Again, if you are some pivotal member of society where your writing is comparable to the Bible, then sure, I'd be pretty pissed to. However, if it really is just another scribbling story of your mundane life that a few people happen to read and appreciate, I wouldn't bother being too upset about it. What are you holding on to? Words and memories so deeply imbedded into your subconscious, that the only time you'll remember them is when you re-read these blogs? Hell, you should be thankful there are so many people making copies for you if you want it that badly!
I dare someone with more "Xangafame" than myself, to copy this, word for word, credit it as there own and then have all of their friends and subscribers reccomend the shit out of it. Or any of my posts for that matter. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm not as attached to the past and old ramblings I've written eons ago, that I don't feel the need to be as vigilant in the stop of plagerism of "life." Ya'know?
Perhaps you do, perhaps you don't, I'm in Germany, chilling, trying to get the taste of currywurst out of my mouth. Perhaps my life isn't interesting enough to be duplicated and claimed as someone elses. Well one less thing for me to worry about yeah? I suppose I'll never understand.
Another thing I don't understand, "Xanga Cards" they're tacky, and ugly. Who made them? Why didn't you model it after a Yu-Gi-Oh Card or something? At least those have attack and defense points, and also effects or a nice place to describe the person better. Seriously, stop with the xanga cards, they suck. Hardcore Maximum.
