Lynch Mob Mentality...
I've been caught up in it. Made a horse's heiner out of myself too.
Gomedome, citing his agent, makes a good case about putting your more valuable work here (and I am heavily paraphrasing and summarizing), that posting to a wide open (well, almost wide open) site is like lending someone your tools; don't send them home with anything you can't live without, and don't cry if if comes back dinged up, rusty, or painted another color.
You want to cut and paste me, just give me credit unless I say otherwise.

Sadly the lynch mob mentality is everywhere.
As I stated in other comments and posts in the community section I believe much frustration is generated by the apparently slow progress when examples of copyright violation come to light. I have followed Blogit policy on this and been concerned at how long it takes. Although I would rather that than jumping to conclusions.
I agree that we have seen too much rumor-mongering and ganging up.
But in this most recent case regarding plagiarism, I am unconvinced that is the case. All I have witnessed is emotions running high.
