Hey there, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I can relate, because something I wrote YEARS ago on astrology is everywhere today... without credit... and I have no way to prove I wrote it! I guess it's flattering, but... still

I'm an Aquarian and your advice is pretty good. It's a great piece you wrote.

Really! Not that you're very angry all the time eh? I'm sorry. I know people think i'm out-spoken - but you put out such a mental energy that it defies logic. I have spoken to you via a messenger and you were clearly a man-hater from the very first word that you uttered. You seem to think that you can have your claws out but no-one must attack back.
I dare say if i met you your nails would be in my face within about 5 seconds. You wouldn't last 5 secs out of your 'comfort zone' love.

ABSOLUTE NUTCASE!

Sorry but i can bite my lip no longer.
This place is very special to me and i don't want to jeopardise it, but i can suffer this spikey hypocrite no longer.

Unbelievable!

Who are you writing to then?



I know that anyone with any sense will have wanted to say what i just have for MONTHS
Anyone who comes on to defend your spikely insane posts i would never have any respect for anyway. Playing devils advocate is for WIMPS.
Anyone who comes on to defend her is also in need of help. If she can get away with the way she is on here why can't i say my bit? Oh... right because she has problems we all have to turn a blind eye right...

Shop22Much,

I read both your original post at LL and the post of Virgo123 at the other site and it is verbatum exactly what you said. Obviously she copied and pasted your post.

I understand why you are upset. Yes, she should have given you credit for what you wrote or at least asked you for permission to use it. It is only considerate to do that.

...I don't get it. Lovers' quarrel?


And yes, I do understand the upset about stolen work. I will admit, however, that I often copy and paste info I find on various sites into my blog for future reference. Only stuff about my aspects though. I don't think that the poster was being malicious, but simply liked what you put up and took it, without thinking about copyright. I think youi could PM the person and ask them what's up.

ETA: Oh wait, she calls it, "my insight," meaning she claims it as her thoughts. Yeah, eww.

ETA: OK, that post just furthers my Aqua vs. Virgo argument. Think maybe the reason why they can't let others be is because they were a Leo in their past life and got dethroned?

sincere? how is it sincere to steal someone's work? i know i should feel flattered but im not- its upsetting- but nothing i can do-at least people are gaining something from it obviously there was over 100 replies on there and 70 something on lindaland- it usually sparks a converstation about aquarius men-


sigh

Unfortunately, as soon as you post something/anything on the Internet it's a fair game. Even saying that it's copyrighted would hardly stop people from using your work. Of course, you should get the credit but... I just wonder what's the point of trying to impress people by using someone else's original thoughts. I mean, if you are not smart enough to come up with something interesting on your own how are you going to keep up with conversation and fill the shoes of someone truly creative?

The date says you posted it August 12th 2005, and the date on the other forum is May 11th, 2005. I find that to be a bit strange.

Unless the 5/11/05 refers to November 5th, didn't think about that. Oops

I hate to sound like I am trying to defend this person, but this could be an honest mistake. While she didn't credit you, she didn't claim to have written it either. She may have just copy-and-pasted it without really thinking.

I am a Pisces myself, and have been lurking on the internet long enough to know to credit someone, but not everyone is well versed in netiquette. For all we know, this is some 13 year old girl who saw your post and related to it and then decided to share it.

Like I said, I am not defending this person. You are obviously quite upset though. You might want to try emailing this individual in an attempt to discern her intent. I could be wrong, but I don't feel as though she meant to harm you or to steal from you.

Yeah, I saw that over at DPX ages ago, but written about Capricorns instead of Aquas. I think I posted it here as well, and you (or at least someone here) took credit for it.

Did you write it to help people? I've given lots of advice on these forums, but if someone ever copied me verbatim I wouldn't personally worry about it, because my intent in writing it in the first place was to help people.

Did you state that you considered it to be a proprietary work when you posted it? Did you have plans for publishing it? Were those plans made clear when you originally posted it? Do you know now what to do in the future in order to avoid this pain?

The posts from 5/11/05 and 8/12/05 are both from the Virgo. The one dated 1/1/06 is from the Pisces.
