More than anything else it affects your own readership. Regular readers get accustomed to your level and style of English and can catch a post that you just whacked. So the respect will only go down.

Having duplicate content will also hurt your readership and not only will it get you in trouble from the people you are stealing from but also Google penalizes such people.
