Use your own damn words

Bloggers are a culture filled with lamprey who, for the most part, do no original reporting and have few new ideas. So what do you call it when a blogger is plagarized? It apparently happened to Sarahintampa.

I don’t mean to disparage Sarah. I’m a lamprey too. I’ve done maybe two or three actual interviews since I launched Blocletters. But, like her, when I’m not contributing new ideas in the form of original, first-hand interviews, I at least string my own words together to form sentences. Even if they’re not novel ideas, at least I express them in my own words. She does too.

Bottom line: The suckers of the suckerfish suckle the devil’s teats.
