@Andrew Oh thank you. I didn't know how to quite react, so I remember to remain calm and think before I acted. But really, thanks for your support and kind words. It was an interesting and scary situation, but always something to learn from everything, right?

Thanks for sending me the link here Grace.

Your response was probably more professional than I could have mustered considering the circumstance.

Not that you needed it, but you've earned a large portion of respect from me.

-Andrew

@Kim Your answer is eloquent and you bring up a good point. We must continue to provide value and like I said, truth alone triumphs. I think it comes out in the end, almost always. Thanks for sharing.

The one thing I've learned over the years is that people learn differently. Varying perspectives help aid in the learning process. Maybe I explain something from my point of view that doesn't click with someone, but the way you explain it does.

Like you say – content 'stealing' as I like to refer to it as – is more common that you realize. I think we must focus on continuing to provide value. Over time, people know the difference (or I like to believe so).

It is a compliment. Your writing is wonderful and improves with each blog post.

Yet, a lot of sweat and time goes into maintaining your blog. We all know cut and pasting is stealing if we've gone through elementary school. We don't blog for credit per se, but that doesn't mean it gives others the right to siphon off our words.

Funny story, I once turned a plagiarist into The New York Times, and they did a story.
