RE: On Stolen Content, Comment Spamming and Self-Victimisation: Some Things I Have to Get Off My Chest
I have many thoughts about this myself. First of all, 110% agree with you on everything you say. I am also very impressed by the way you've handled this whole episode, with a lot of grace and kindness, much more than I'd ever be able to bring up.
The link between the self-victimization and the arrogance of taking what isn't yours, is extremely clear in this case. I wish there was something we could do to constructively change this person's understanding of what property is and how copyright works, but from reading her long rants on how she sees the world, I have concluded there is no way that is going to happen.
Standing with you, all of the way. I hope you will not let this get to you in any way except as another example of the strength of community.
The support of my family at the Block means a lot to me. Goes without saying that walking away from Steemit is one think. Walking away from all of you guys at The Block is just impossible.
She won't understand, because she refuses to. You can't 'win' with these sort of people, this person in particular is psychotic. You engage further, and you get dragged into the mud with them. It's best at this point to continue to flag her, get Steemcleaners to continue to flag her plagiarizing as well, and ignore her. Get other people that you know to flag her, I flagged her recent post as well. If you engage her, you give her exactly what she's asking for - notoriety and attention. Don't talk about her by name, don't respond to her spam. She's currently thriving off this drama, most people like her do. Once you realize it's fruitless to continue, once you realize how a person is, withdraw from the conversation.
