I’m so sorry you’re under fire like this. I’ve seen it too often IRL and on social media, and even been a target myself.

Plagiarists are THIEVES. They are stealing from other creatives. When they steal content from other creatives, they are stealing an outpouring of someone’s soul. And, it’s been my experience, that when plagiarists are identified, they expose their own bone-deep callousness with vile retaliations just as those in which your plagiarizing-attacker has engaged.

Certainly, that’s what the person you identified has clearly done. When they do so, why do the social media platform admins and moderators permit them or their IPs access to continue their abuses?

Such people abuse a community and cast a cloud over every other interaction, casting suspicion upon every unknown/new social contact in that community. It is contrary to the very notion of “social media” communities. Steemit and all social media need much more responsive policies for dealing with such abusive behavior. The whole point of flagging is to identify abusers of the community for those responsible for moderating the site – if admins and moderators then leave things to deteriorate to the point where you or your friends who were plagiarized feel compelled to respond in such a public way, then the site is failing in their responsibilities to its community members.

And… new members like me, find ourselves wondering if the meager growth of our earnings warrants accepting the risk of being plagiarized and/or abused as you and your friends have been.
