Do you feel angry when someone steals your writings just for myLot discussions? Or will you feel flattered because someone thinks your writings are good enough to be posted there?
I am guilty of plagiarism, myself. At first, I know not about people getting pissed when their discussions or writings from other websites get plagiarized just to be posted in myLot. And I am profoundly sorry for copy-pasting some writers’ writings in myLot; I realized now that it was the wrong thing to do. I don’t know what came over me; I guess I feel that my own discussions are boring or something like that. I guess I was looking for some nice and interesting discussions. But I’m really sorry, won’t happen again.
If it were me, finding out that my own writings have been posted in myLot, I’d be pissed. That’s why I won’t copy-paste writings from other websites anymore because I know that’s how the authors would feel.

I think I would be honored, If someone else used my text. I at least would think that someone else thought what I had to say was interesting. I also have copied and pasted in the past. I am not at all sorry. I think that I would love to say a big thankyou to the author for having such a great ideal

wow.. you have a point there. but what if the original author complains? :)
and if someone copies your writings for them to earn money, won't you be offended?

That was a nice way of repentance, admitting your mistake. In mylot...most of us pen our thoughts and life experiences to gain true friendship and enjoying ourselves for who we really are....we do understand that we are not here to compete for whatever but instead to air our views and to learn from one another. Humility is the key to teachability.

yes, i admit my mistake. i don't have to pretend that i don't copy-paste discussions - but i'm never going to do that anymore to respect the authors. :)
thanks for your response. :)
