Bad Replicant

So I don't know what the hell to make of this.

Having my blog cribbed or, in some entries, only slightly altered, by some (apparently Brainerdite, obviously liberal, and, judging from the clumsy radicalness of his views, presumably teenage) blogger without the attribution (otherwise I have no problem with people quoting huge chunks of my blog) that my Creative Commons copyright quite reasonably demands is a bit unnerving.

Even frustrating, for a would-be writer.

Seeing a link to Graham's blog (labeled "My Other Site") on the sidebar is more humorous.

Seeing my terminology "Bold Hero," "Bombastion," and so forth, coopted was flattering for a second, but now seems creepy. The nicknames thing is a good meme and all, but, as I told Ben, I stole it from H.G. Wells fair and square.

If I knew anything about this person besides the fact that we share a few common acquaintances and he seems to go to Brainerd High and think I'm worth aping for some reason, I'd feel a bit better about the whole thing.

But, well, I'm tired and I feel superior enough already, so I'll let this lie for now.
