Gomedome, I agree wholeheartedly
Plagiarism is intellectual theft and fraud, deceiving the reader and being too lasy or inept to think for oneself to come up with material. Although, I agree, in principle, with boycotts of, say, Walmart for reasons too numerous to mention and well-known anyway, here on the blog it's attempting to assert the will of one or two bloggers and use politics to hold sway or dominion over others.
Although, I've stayed out of your debates here on the blog, I endorse your right to have your say: a credit card and a computer is all it takes to sign up. I abhor the false assertion of power by an oligarchy myself.

WELL SAID!
I agree with you entirely! If we ever reach the point where we encourage others to avoid anyone's blog simply because we do not agree with him/her, we might just as well further encourage censorship and book burning!

Well Said and Scoop Has Good Points
People often confuse rights and responsibilities!

scoop - same here, not mentioning names is always the best policy
especially considering the things we have seen on Blogit over the past couple of years.

Plagiarism, haven't seen much of that lately
but I am sure it is here. When I am in disagreement to a subject I don't comment all the time, many times I write my view but NEVER mention the other bloggers name. I mentioned names before but no more. I just write my opinion on the subject.
