Why Do People Steal Ideas?

I am sure this has happened to you. Maybe at work. Maybe at home. You had a great idea and made the mistake of telling someone. The same someone that would put a knife in your back and tell someone it was their idea. Then you find out and what do you say? Who is going to believe you?

Now imagine this happens in the blog world. Then who is going to believe you. If you have had your blog up long enough, people should know you. But they may know the other person too and that may leave them to wonder who is really telling the truth.

I have three blogs. My book blog happened to turn out to be my baby (http://Mismatchedbookends.Blogspot.com) and I saw someone taking my ideas today. Someone who I have had a run in with recently. I have paid attention to her blog but not enough to notice if this is the first time but from what I remember, this is the first time and she took my ideas. I have one girl who, if she is reading this will  say it is karma because she erroneously believe I stole her idea to start a book blog in the first place.

Well all I have to say is after the run in with this person I asked myself why did she think it was okay to post about this and, although she did not mention my name she knew I would see this post and she was wrong. Now if she is going to take my ideas I want to know why? She already wished on me the volume of people she has on her blog so if she cannot handle it, that is not my problem. Then my question to her would be why do you even have a blog when you do not answer comments and take other people's ideas.

Why?
