PNQ: How do you feel about people reposting stories from other sites without properly crediting them?


Story from Retail Hell Underground (September 2018)


Story from Computer Stupidities (the site hasn't been updated since 2013, and I personally know the story is much older than that)


I understand that Computer Stupidities is a relic from the days of dialup (I read the site during those days), but that doesn't forgive blatant plagiarism. The RHU poster could've said "this is one of my favorite stories from rinkworks.com" and I would've been fine, but s/he didn't. It sounds like a recent personal account.
