It's still on.

I looked through Thinking's blog, and learned she plagiarized multiple other bloggers.

I contacted and emailed each and every one of them, and posted the precise link to Thinking's blog that copies their blog entries. Hopefully, Blogger will take down the blog.

I attempted to comment on Thinking's blog, but she moderates her comments, so obviously she will disapprove any comment pointing out her plagiarism. She also conveniently deleted my previous posts on her blog about her plagiarized blog entries.

It looks like Crystal Jigsaw and I were the most heavily plagiarized. We'll see what happens next.

Yellow Gal - thank you for letting me know. I would report it to Blogger, but I can't fill their copyright violation form in without a digital signature and I don't know how to do one. Help!

Thanks for letting me know - I've tried to pull up that blog, but it's become invited reader only. I can't read any of the entries. Maybe Blogger got to them?

Thinking said...

hmm...Yellow Gal and others...

You should be ashamed of yourself for what ever you are trying to do with people like me who have less knowledge to use computers and know little how to save them from being cheated.

I hope you will get the satisfaction that soon I going to delete my blog to save from the embarrasement your comments and actions brought me....

hmmm....Good Luck with your writings...or...whatever...

Thinking said...

hmm...please rest assure that I never have cheated anything from you or other bloggers...

I don't know why you are doing all this???

I wouldn't be surprised if her other blog 'The Discovery' has plagiate itens as well.

Neither would I, Michelle. I only hope she realises how serious this is.

It's just so wrong. It make me so angry that her blog has a moral compass about it all and yet they can't comprehend this is stealing.

Sorry to hear about this - I just don't understand what goes on in some peoples heads at times.

We just all need to be vigilant and stick together and we'll help to keep such people out of the blogging arena x

Working Mum, I believe the digital signature is typing your name in - as soon as you type it in, it is just as legal as a handwritten signature. No sweat! I'm glad you are also reporting her to Blogger.

Folks, I might have found a way to work around Thinking's "invite only" blog:

If you Google the link to her blog that I emailed to each of you, you may find the cached version of the file. Click on "cached" and in some instances, Google will reproduce the blog entry. It might not always work, but it's worth a shot. At least something to have as evidence.

To Thinking: you openly apologized for stealing my work on my blog. So that nullifies your attempt to play "victim" here.

I gave you a chance to redeem yourself and admit your plagiarism - almost a month ago. And you didn't. I also felt these other folks had a right to know their work was stolen.

It is also obvious you stole these other bloggers' content, because they composed their work at dates and times that precede your blog entries. Even if you tried to forge these time/date stamps, Blogger has a metadata log of everything.

So yeah. You're busted. I'm sad it had to be this way, but as I told you before, I wanted to give you a chance to do the right thing. And you didn't.

Her blog is working for me now...but I can't report her because I need a digital certificate?

Yellow Gal said...

betweentehstacks, Blogger only asked me for a "digital signature" (not a digital certificate) - so I just typed my name as a legal signature.

It all appears to be moot because I received a notice from Blogger that the blog no longer exists. Oh well.
