Is Phillip Balwin being conned?

Skimming through the spatial narratology blog, I think to myself: what the hell is going on?

Most of the blog posts fit into one or more of these catagories: they are written in completely broken and often non-sensical english, they are blatantly cut and pasted from sites like wikipedia, they contain pictures and videos not created by the blogger with little or no explanatory text, they are about petty and irrelevant topics such as food or shopping, or they don't really say much of anything.

Perhaps professor Baldwin is not going to actually read several thousand blog posts, but maybe on the other hand this is really a sort of con against the students: perhaps they have been lulled into a false sense of security, having grown up pirating movies, and falsely believe that they can get away with anything on the internet.
