    I’m in complete agreement with this quote – I think sci-fi fans tend to be very existentially aware people who like the comfort of fantasy to mix with real-life possibility.

However, if you just cut and paste into your own blog or whatever and pass it off as your own then there's a very good chance I will find out. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet is so vast and expanding so fast (note the fancy internal rhyme)] that no one will know.
