I belong to a number of forums, and I come up with my own content on the spot. (As you do) I posted a thread on this forum a while back, called 'the concept of sex', and just now received a message from the owner, that it had been copied and pasted to another site. I visited this site, and the person is using it as their own. I'm flattered that they did that, but at the same time there wouldn't be any harm in paraphrasing the content, or even printing the authors name. I just sent an e-mail to the owner of this site, and asked why did that, and asked why couldn't they have talked to me about it before as a sign of respect. Well the response, is that it's their forum, and he brings in content every day and it doesn't matter where it comes from. I find it a little sad that there is no mutual understanding or respect.
He replied back, and admitted
I didn't reply to that, as I didnt want to get sucked up in the negative energy. I feel alot happier, for understanding the person though.
(P.S-I didn't know where to put this)

No, I don't respect you, you earn my respect. I don't know you from a hole in the wall, you register to my website and your first post is what you wrote
It's not like a piece of "published" poetry.. nor can you even "prove" it's "your words"
