I am obviously angry about being plagiarised and it has tarnished my feeling towards writing on my blog, knowing that someone else is using my words and claiming them as theirs. But with all the support and solidarity I have had from other bloggers and readers over the last few days – and the fact that I still get pleasure from blogging – I guess I am not ready to stop writing, yet.
Thank you to all the people who commented or emailed me with advice about how to deal with people stealing my work. Big thanks to Jonathan from
Plagiarism Today who has been immensely helpful, and whom I suggest any other bloggers in similar situations, consult: he knows his stuff.
I am in the process of taking action against the offending sites. Fingers crossed, the fuckers disappear off the map – and soon.
