If you put hours of hard work into creating unique written material, and then someone comes along and steals that work, claiming that they wrote it, then you have a good right to consider that an offense. Thieves are offensive, even to other thieves.
The flipside to this is: if you copy something that someone else wrote, be sure that you use quotation marks and tell who actually wrote it. That way, you will not be stealing the work, you will be quoting it, which is fine.
