Over the Fourth of July holiday, my wife and I joined some friends for a barbecue in their backyard. The guests were lively and the space was lovely — grassy and open but shady and surrounded by lots of shrubs and trees.

In other words, it was perfect for mosquitoes — and indeed, closer inspection showed that they were thriving in all that greenery. But our friends had come up with a solution that saved us from having to deal with bug repellents or, worse, bites and itches. On a low table, they set up a small electric fan, perhaps 12 inches high, that swept back and forth, sending a gentle breeze across the grassy area where people were sitting.

That was it. No citronella candles, no bug zappers, no DEET, nothing expensive or high-tech. Yet amazingly, it worked. As far as I could tell, no mosquitoes flew into the vicinity of the simulated wind; nobody was bitten.

I am stating this because there is one particular blogger who has been stealing my blog content (content scraping) - even my personal ones about my sons (and implying he/she is writing about his/her sons!!!!) and those I wrote and stating  and hosting it in a website url that is very similar to mine with just a double digit number added to http://masterwordsmith-unpluggedXX.blogspot.com just so he/she can steal traffic for advertising revenue. Many advertisements have been hosted in that site which is ALSO CALLED Masterwordsmith-Unplugged!!!!

Readers would know know because of aesthetics, I have not hosted any advertisements in my blogs because I blog to share and not to earn $$$. Besides, if he/she wants to blog and earn advertising revenue, he/she should do his/her homework, put in effort and reap well-deserved rewards.  I spend a lot of time trawling the net for interesting articles to share and it is not fair that he/she exploits my blog/effort for selfish reasons. Most unethical!

Do not go to that blog which is filled with malicious scripts!

If there are any lawyers reading this who would like to assist, please write to me at writetomws at hush dot ai.

I really hope Blogger or DMCA authorities will close the blog/ask him/her to take down all the stolen content and ban that blogger for such unscrupulous practices. Ethically, anyone who uses content from other places cannot host the entire article but only an excerpt, state the source/writer and backlink to the original source - which is what I always do.

Thank you very much for your kindness and support. Have a blessed day.
