I posted a blog earlier, but now it's not there.

Why?

Oh, no wonder why it was deleted.. =p

Member Avatar for christina>you

Lol it was talking about why you shouldn't buy it.

Member Avatar for joshSCH

Oh then what the hell was it deleted for!?:ooh: (Outrage!)

Member Avatar for christina>you

Hahah.

I have no clue... I'll have to PM Davey sometime soon.

[edit] - Now, actually. ;)

It was deleted because the piece was cut and pasted, word for word, from another site. The original being part of an editorial at WServerNews

When writing a blog entry feel free to quote from another blog and reference it, but you still need to actually be writing something original, adding your own opinion, putting your spin onto it. You can't just copy something wholesale that has already been posted elsewhere.

It was a good article, I just didn't know that I couldn't copy and paste. It was my first blog ever, but now I'll know what to do.

Do you ever stop?!

I didn't realize that you couldn't do that in a BLOG.

You can stop with the harassing remarks now.

Member Avatar for Narue

>Do you ever stop?!
No.

>I didn't realize that you couldn't do that in a BLOG.
What? Take someone else's work and post it as your own? That kind of applies everywhere, don't you think?

>You can stop with the harassing remarks now.
I'm not harassing you. You're just too sensitive.

I didn't mean to post it as my own; I gave the link to the source. I got it in an email and thought it was interesting, so I reposted it on here.

>You can stop with the harassing remarks now.

Yeah, I'm too sensitive and you're too mean. Fair enough?

I'm sorry. I thought you copied it verbatim and posted the text as your blog.

>Yeah, I'm too sensitive and you're too mean. Fair enough?
That works for me. I never claimed to be otherwise.

Member Avatar for joshSCH

I'm sorry.

Haha.. never seen Narue say that before.. ;)

Member Avatar for Narue

>Haha.. never seen Narue say that before..
I apologize when I make a legitimate mistake. It just happens so rarely that you never see it. ;)

Member Avatar for Duki

Haha.. never seen Narue say that before.. ;)

it's definitely refreshing .. i think it's the first i've seen :)

Yes, even her title suggests the same. :-)

Missing out something it never had, fair enough. ;-)

when you say title do you mean her username? I thought that it was from the japanese animation series.

In my country there is a mythical creature of the same name. It is a lot like like the American gremlin but instead of tinkering it destroys by force. And also it rarely knows when to stop. But i find it hard to believe that a female would take that thing's name for her own! ( i asume that narue is female since her avatar is )

Member Avatar for Narue

>when you say title do you mean her username?
Underneath my name is my title: "Accomplished Meanie".

>I thought that it was from the japanese animation series.
No, I didn't enjoy that show enough to use the name. It's just a coincidence.

>In my country there is a mythical creature of the same name.
That's interesting. Do you have any links that describe it in more detail?

>But i find it hard to believe that a female would take that thing's name for her own!
Why? What does gender have to do with it?

Member Avatar for quintoncoert

>That's interesting. Do you have any links that describe it in more detail?

I do not know if there are any links but I would be really surprised if there are. It is part of Nguni culture and there culture are passed on by spoken word and not writting. I can try and get some info on it though

>Why? What does gender have to do with it?
Because it is a feared and much hated creature. Also it is feral.

It is about the size of a ten year old child but it has enough strength to give a dog such a hiding that it would not beable to sit for weeks. Of course when I said mythical.... Some people, me included, do not believe in Nguni magic or myths. Others however swears by it. My own cousin as well asmy father claims to have had a couple of encounters with creatures from nguni myth.
