I went about calling someone out which turned into a drama I never intended it to. Anyway, I agree with you completely. I think blatant plagiarism by established members should result in multiple penalties, inability to vote or write for 6 months, permanent inability to flag, and a reduction in reputation by 50%.. Accidents happen, I understand that. Also, some people share content without intending to play it off as their own. This was a case of pure, intentional plagiarism and that pissed me off.

I was attacked for voicing my opinion about it, so I wrote this post to vent and speak my mind.
