This is someone who I don't get along with, and she always speaks of me in ill terms on her blog. I don't have any of those copyright things on my blog but I hate the fact she does this. She is someone that I try to stay away from so I don't know if it is a good idea to just send her a polite email requesting her to remove the content. I'd like your insight on this. Thank you Hi Susan

I read papers at the end of almost every semester and grow very tired of the laziness, if not outright unwillingness, to credit sources. The problem has grown worse with the availability of information on the internet, but the internet does not change the rules about crediting sources. Plagiarism is still plagiarism!! It really isn't that hard to give credit where credit is due. I make every effort to do that and expect others to do the same. Absolutely.

I have actually commented a time or two taht directs them back here but I'm a bit tired of that. I use a lot of expressions that I have gotten mostly from others and always credit them. It's not that hard. Most of my stuff is not original but the way it's put together is original (which is why it's copyrightable). Thanks for being here! Thanks Serenity. :)
