The drunk Vs The Non-drunk

Strongly inclined towards starting a movement, where people who are not drunk in a party of drunkards should be kicked out of the parties. Most of them simply turn out to be opportunist *!@#$$%%s. Although the theory does not hold for the "Paskaars" (Oscar version of paasam (love in tam) filled ppl, but its about the sadist ppl who try to get the drunkards loose all their dignity and secrets, only to be well recorded in a non-drunkard's memory, crystal clear. Well, sometimes its not just the teetotlers, but the smart drinkers, who can turn out to be even more evil, since they do loose their senses partially, but then are reasonably evil enough to dig up a reasonably well plotted grave for the sloshed ones.... Well in anycase, myself glad to get back to the blogosphere, which I quit temporarily for some academic stuff:(..

Plagiarism in blog world

Just wanted to simplify 2T's life, by discussing some ground rules on plagiarism. Firstly, I always wonder why is it so much talked or made fun of?
At some point or other, people will think of something that's a repeatition of someone else's previous post, will that be an attempt to plagiarize ?
Is copying someone's idea and rephrasing it plagiarism?
Is copying a post followed by adding your ideas plagiarism?
Is citing someone plagarism?

My anwers: No, No, No, No (Then why should I ever crib?? prolly the 3:00am blues:()

All the above strategies have been adopted and critiqued on numerous occaions by 2t, so just wanted to pen them all down.
