You are right about looking at ourselves.  I try to do that to make myself a better person.  Doesn't always happen and I certainly don't do it all the time.  I have no idea why some are reporting it here, and other places.  Some of those postings are from people who were plagiarized.  I think that is how the first report came it - a writer was ripped-off from Ms. Spiderbaby, posted it on her blog, and someone saw it and began spreading the news.  Others reported their own worked being copied, and it went from there.  Why are people reporting it here and other places - who knows.  Could be they like seeing others suffer.  They might feel she deserves to be raked over the coals, so to speak.  I've seen some "glee" in some posts, but most appear to be from people who care about what has happened and who it happened too.  I'm sure Woodward and Bernstein didn't just write All The President's Men to just get the facts out. 

It is sad that these reports just keep coming.  To me the real sad thing is that Ms. Spiderbaby appears to be trying to hide the truth.  If she just fessed up and admitted to all of her deeds and pointed them out herself, most of this wouldn't even be posted here and elsewhere. 

Just my 2 cents.
