I think we have a problem with online etiquette here in Kuwait
Okay so you read a topic you liked in another blog, you comment on it and post part of it in your site / blog that is fine and great
But reposting the full article even with a link and just opening comments is quite rude
And its get insulting when a major newspaper site does it
Alwatan (even in a good gesture thing they manage to make it evil, really diabolical)
this article is just a copy paste from another blog ( which they linked in the headline )
but they still left comments open , if they had online etiquette or even some common sense , they would have closed comments and made people comment at the original article , so the writer can know what others said about his article , not search around the internet to see who said what about what he is thinking
And make the link clickable

They seem to think they are doing a blog a favor when they do this, they seriously don’t have a concept of etique and I don’t think they ever will.

3ade its alwatan.
you shouldnt expect much from them.
a lot of the times their movie reviews are copy pasted from wiki. and they state by (writer) and other sources.
its funny
