Hmmmm.... I think I made a mistake posting here. While a number of the people commenting certainly think they
are doing it for the most noble of reasons, to someone on  the outside, they tend to come off as "holier than thou",
looking for more blood, and wanting to dance on a few graves. As I read it, initially Lucas didn't jump on the
bandwagon about the plagiarism. When presented with the facts he issued an apology and will no longer use her work. But a number of
folks want the apology worded the they way THEY want the apology worded, and won't take anything but.....

I don't read it as shooting the messenger. Actually I feel sorry for somone like the spiderwoman, or whatever, to be so incredibly
stupid and selfish and really create their own mess. We screw up big time sometimes...and she did it in the digital age where
you ARE going to be found out. I'm cursed with feeling empathy for people who probably don't deserve any - comes from being
a goof up myself on occasions.

With all due respect (and I DO appreciate your posts), perhaps you never saw VW's posts before they were deleted. They very much shot the messangers and accused folks of making fun of poor Lianne because she had (supposed) good looks and good connections. And, YES, he had been presented with ample evidence of the plagiarism at that point. Not the full evidence (which is still showing up), but, plenty.

Again, I respect your viewpoint, and, hope you continue to post.
