FTFY.
Apparently, proper grammar still isn't the focus.

It is not OK ripping off others work without permission or attribution.
Theft is is theft!
Just because you don't like something at some store if you walk out without paying you still can land in jail.

I'll explain now, though, why it is off topic.
There is no requirement, legal or otherwise, to provide a link to someone's news article when quotng it. Of course, it would be unethical to pass off one's work as his or her own, but there is no requirement to hyperlink where, in this case, the source of the quoted language is made clear. In other words, a hyperlink doesn't change anything.
To the extent that you have concerns about "theft" of your blog posts via a limited quotation for a noncommercial use, you may want to ask Sara F Hawkins about the fair use doctrine. Or you can take a look at this explanation from Stanford University Libraries
In relevant part, that site states:
"If you are commenting upon or critiquing a copyrighted work—for instance, writing a book review—fair use principles allow you to reproduce some of the work to achieve your purposes. Some examples of commentary and criticism include:
quoting a few lines from a Bob Dylan song in a music review
summarizing and quoting from a medical article on prostate cancer in a news report
copying a few paragraphs from a news article for use by a teacher or student in a lesson, or
copying a portion of a Sports Illustrated magazine article for use in a related court case.
The underlying rationale of this rule is that the public reaps benefits from your review, which is enhanced by including some of the copyrighted material. Additional examples of commentary or criticism are provided in the examples of fair use cases."
So, class, today we have learned that no, quoting a blog for the purpose of mocking it, with or without a hyperlink, is not "theft." Now, the library is closed for the evening.
XOXO HTH.

Other than everything that I have posted in this attack thread, this may be the only slightly factual thing here!

Thank you for your multiple AMP/RBPs and PM. Since post 279 and 280 are in line with FT rules, we'll let it it stand as is for now: http://www.flyertalk.com/help/rules.php#copyrighted

A great deal of truth about your blog has been written here. Much of it clever and amusing to boot!
Certainly more clever than using poor syntax and grammar as a brand component...@:-)

She is looking for better search engine rankings via backlinks, and any links via a well-known website such as FT is yugeee. Sadly FT allow such links but hopefully one day that can be changed so failing bloggers cannot take unfair advantage without providing meaningful contributions.

haha, that is really funny actually to think that someone spends time daily to cull the list of followers to add them to a ban list... "now they can't see my tweets when they log in - that will teach them!!"
